Meet the Team

Erin Barbossa, LMSW

Founder

Erin founded Motherhood Supported with a conviction for helping mothers get the support they need to feel relief, heal, and live peacefully. Erin has always challenged the stigma around mental health issues. She wonders why do we go to the dentist 2x a year but we have no routine mental healthcare? She invites moms to feel welcomed to psychotherapy and the nurturing, safe environment it creates. Erin became a therapist after working as an Associate Producer for The Oprah Winfrey Show and says she is still helping women to live their best lives.

Erin received a dual degree from Syracuse University in Television, Radio, and Film Production & Psychology. She went on to receive her Masters in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago with a specialization in children and families. Two of her favorite trainings have been Internal Family Systems, and with Postpartum Support International & 2020MOM: Certificate of Completion in Maternal Mental Health.

Rebecca Kalkman, MA, LLP, PMH-C

Being a therapist is a second career for me. I spent years in a career that I enjoyed but didn't quite leave me feeling fulfilled. My journey has not been straightforward, but returning to school to become a therapist was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I take my role of walking beside people as they make meaningful change in their life seriously, but don't be surprised if a little sarcasm or a bad joke slips out from time to time. Even therapy needs a little levity.

Adding another child
Moving
Body image issues
Food and eating struggles
Difficult In-laws
Intimacy issues
Low sex drive
Going back to work

No time for yourself
