​​Erin Iwanusa, LCSW, PMH-C
Founder, Owner
(She/ Her/ Hers)


Erin has been a practicing clinician since 2010. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Erin has placed a strong emphasis over the course of her career on social work values, specifically on service and supervision. When Erin began Taproot Therapy in 2020, her goal was to make effective and evidence-based clinical care accessible for all by offering affordable services, as well as training the next generation of social workers and mental health clinicians.

Erin has extensive experience working with anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. She is certified in perinatal mental health, specializing in infertility and pregnancy and infant loss. Erin is a Gottman Level 2 certified therapist providing couples therapy, and she teaches the Gottman method at training institutes in New York City.


Erin has extensive training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, both evidence-based practices shown to support anxiety, mood regulation, eating disorders, and depressed symptoms.

Erin has also had over 15 years of experience working with neurodiversity, and specializes in working with individuals, both adult and child, who are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Erin provides parent training and therapy for parents with children diagnosed with ASD. Erin also specializes in working with adults diagnosed with ASD, and is adept at diagnosing subtle presentations of ASD in adulthood.

Outside of Taproot Therapy, Erin has supervised and coached several clinicians and other group practice owners, both in helping set up their private practice, as well as providing high-quality, in-depth clinical supervision. Erin is also a writer, and the creator of The Miscarriage Therapist.
