Erin Beskid, MD, LCPC

Erin Beskid is a licensed clinician with more than 15 years of experience helping people build practical skills for greater wellbeing. She holds an MD - medical doctor - and an LCPC, which is a licensed clinical professional counselor, and maintains licensure in both Maryland and Montana. Her path into mental health began with an interest in how thought patterns influence performance in sport and activity, and that orientation still informs her work today, meeting people where they are and using formats that fit their lives.

Over the years she has combined performance coaching, youth work, injury recovery support, crisis intervention, and work with LGBTQ+ clients with training in biofeedback and physiological approaches to stress and anxiety. She has also provided weight loss coaching, sport coaching, and has taught at the high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels. Those varied experiences contribute to a clinical style that is open, nonjudgmental, and patient while remaining both practical and grounded in theory.

Erin emphasizes strengths-based, skills-focused work, drawing on coping skills, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness practices. She is direct when needed and tailors techniques from multiple approaches to fit each person’s unique situation. Erin views personal growth as an ongoing process and partners with clients to identify realistic strategies that support meaningful change.
