Beth McErlean, LCSW

When you’re dealing with divorce, a custody dispute, or ongoing conflict with an ex or family member, your life can start to revolve around the next text message, custody exchange, court date, or difficult conversation.

I’ve spent much of my career working alongside families navigating these challenges, and I understand how quickly they can affect every part of your life.

What We Can Work On Together

Divorce, co-parenting, and family conflict often raise questions without easy answers. Together, we’ll sort through your options, develop a plan, and build the skills to put that plan into action.

In therapy, we can:

Learn to thoughtfully respond instead of react

Improve communication and reduce conflict in co-parenting

Keep your child’s needs at the center

Stop getting pulled into the same arguments

Recognize what’s within your control

Let’s talk about what you’re facing

If you’re curious about working together, I’d love to hear from you.

How I Help

My approach is straightforward and practical, sprinkled with a bit of humor.

I won’t tell you what decisions to make, but I will help you think through your options, look at situations from different perspectives, and stay focused on what matters most for you and your family.

My background includes:

Family Court

Former judge’s clerk with firsthand experience in family, juvenile, and misdemeanor court. I understand the stress, uncertainty, and real-life challenges that often come with legal proceedings.

Custody Evaluations

Former independent custody evaluator with experience looking at family dynamics, parenting concerns, and the factors that affect children’s well-being.

Social Work & Criminal Justice

More than 10 years of experience in child protective services, community health, case management, and the criminal justice system.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Sessions stay focused on where you are now, what’s getting in the way, and the next steps that make the most sense for your situation.

You won’t leave sessions wondering what we talked about. My goal is for our conversations to be useful, practical, and relevant to the challenges you’re facing today.
