Erin Schovanec is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), dance/movement therapist, and certified Yoga Therapist who has 16 years of experience as an expressive and creative mental health professional. Erin’s clinical experience has ranged in various treatment settings including outpatient therapy, Treatment Foster Care, and residential treatment. She has served children, adolescents, and adults experiencing symptoms related to attachment, anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance abuse.
Erin completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Dance Education magna cum laude at the University of Central Oklahoma and her Master of Arts (MA) in Dance/Movement Therapy and Counseling Psychology at Antioch New England Graduate School. Erin’s personal hobbies include dancing, teaching group exercise, and running.
Erin's clinical approach is solution-focused, person-centered, with the utilization of positive psychology and cognitive behavioral techniques. In addition, as a movement therapist, Erin’s therapeutic approach stems from a mind-body perspective, in that there is an inner relationship between the physical body and our thoughts and emotions. In order to heal, one has to “move through” challenging barriers with open awareness and self-compassion to develop a deeper understanding of one’s self. This healing process contributes to more meaningful relationships and greater connection to self and others.

My go-to approach for helping people in family therapy is to use an attachment-based style with education around unhealthy relationship patterns and guide people to learn skills for shifting their relationship interactions. I prefer this style due to its increased effectiveness in helping couples, families, parents, children, and anyone with any form of relationship in their lives evolve their understanding of unhealthy patterns, learn to shift those patterns, and build the tools to develop boundaries in relationships as well.
In family therapy, I help people build attunement and increase their emotional intelligence/awareness using meditation, mindfulness, and neuropsychology to help them build new behavioral patterns. We will use gratitude work, open door communication, and 'I feel' and 'I need' statements. We also learn how to communicate and create positive feedback patterns rather than negative feedback and reinforcement patterns.
Clients make meaningful progress in family therapy when there is more open communication between family members, the family is able to freely express emotions without attacking each other, and all members work to listen and understand what the other family members are feeling in order to create solutions that benefit the whole family and support each member.
During their personal time, clients can use the tools and homework that the clinician gives them to practice and solidify the skills and knowledge they are building to change their interactions.
To prepare for the first session, the best thing a family can do is be ready and open to hearing and accepting each side as truth. They may not agree or see things in the same way as the other person, but having compassion for another person's perspective is how they can start to connect.
Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Albuquerque, NM usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Albuquerque, NM offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.

At Thriveworks Counseling in Albuquerque, a team of dedicated family therapists is readily available to help you achieve those things.
