Erin Gardner-Flores, LCSW is a licensed psychotherapist in private practice based in Groton, Connecticut. She is an EMDRIA-Certified Therapist who specializes in working with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, and stress-related disorders. Erin takes a collaborative, client-centered approach that honors the whole person, integrating emotional, somatic, relational, and systemic perspectives to support deep, trauma-informed healing.

With over a decade of experience in community mental health and correctional settings, Erin has worked extensively with individuals navigating complex trauma, systemic barriers, and multifaceted clinical challenges. These experiences have deeply shaped her commitment to compassionate, trauma-responsive care.

Erin’s dedication to understanding and treating trauma led her to pursue advanced training in EMDR therapy. She completed her EMDR basic training in 2019 and became EMDRIA-certified in 2021. Since then, she has witnessed the transformative impact of EMDR in helping clients process trauma, anxiety, anger, and self-doubt.
