Hi, I am Erwin Gilliam, a Mississippi licensed professional counselor with 5 years of direct professional work experience in therapeutic counseling. This experience includes working with clients with identity issues, stress, depression, relationship &/or marital issues, anger management, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and career difficulties. My background and experiences have given me a variety of opportunities and have allowed me to see the world from different angles, helping me sharpen my counseling skills.
I have a masters degree in organizational counseling psychology. In addition, I also hold an educator's license with endorsements in school counseling and administration. To add to my career experiences, I served as a school counselor for 3 years, as an assistant principal for 7 years, and head principal for one year in a public school setting.
When it comes to therapy, I primarily use the cognitive behavioral approach with my clients; however, I am able to utilize other approaches depending on my client's needs. I believe in treating everyone with dignity, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. We will work as a team in setting your goals so that you achieve the outcome you are seeking.
This first step, seeking out better health, is a huge milestone in finding the happiness and fulfillment we all desire in life. I am forever grateful that you have given me the opportunity to be a part of your journey.
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Erwin Gilliam. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Erwin listens attentively and gently directs the discussion to honor both what I need to say and the time in which I have to say it! He is good at highlighting other perspectives and not just pumping me up by supporting only my point of view. I believe he genuinely wants to help and gives good practical tips that can be put to use immediately.

After many failed attempts, I think I’ve found my therapist! I’ve made so much progress in the last few months. I opted to have someone completely opposite of me to help me understand what I longed to find most; how to understand a black man. I’ve grown so much! He’s the best!

He’s been incredibly polite, encouraging, and accommodating. Anytime I worry about overthinking or over sharing, he reassures me that I’m doing exactly what I’m supposed to. He’s helped ground me in a time of serious struggle and confusion, and I’m very thankful.
