Shani Erdman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Massachusetts who has been practicing since 2023. She has an MSW from Columbia University. Shani beholds each person with compassion and curiosity. Using a strengths-based approach, her style is collaborative and relational as she works with individuals toward insights that will lead them toward more authentic and fulfilling lives. Shani integrates psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, trauma-informed, and attachment-based theories into treatment depending on the individual needs of the client. She understands that each person exists in a larger historical, social, familial, and cultural context that shapes who they are. With this understanding, she brings a humble and culturally sensitive lens to the therapeutic environment. Her areas of interest include depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, self-worth, interpersonal concerns, parenting, social-emotional development of children, and life transitions. Outside of work, Shani enjoys baking, basking in nature, and curling up with a good book.
