Erin Skiffer, Psy.D.

I am a Clinical Psychologist licensed to provide care in the states of California and New York. I currently work with adolescents and adults in a variety of different settings and contexts, including individual, family, couples and group therapy.

I was born and raised in the Bay Area and obtained my Bachelor’s Degree from Santa Clara University. I began my career as a paraprofessional working with families of children on the Autistic Spectrum. I obtained my doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology from the PGSP-Stanford Psy.D. Consortium in 2013. After completing my postdoctoral training (APA Accredited) with the Adult and Child teams at Kaiser Permanente, I stayed on with Kaiser for 6 more years. While at Kaiser, I served youth, adults and families in both the Department of Psychiatry and in the Emergency Department and was a lead clinician for the adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP).

Upon leaving Kaiser, I co-founded Bridge to Bridge Psychotherapy Group alongside my trusted colleague, Dr. Nic Chu. Our vision for our practice is to provide quality care to individuals and families in the Bay Area. This began with assembling our team of excellent clinicians with varied specialties, which enables us to offer care to a wide range of clientele.

As a provider, I aim to create a supportive environment that fosters reflection and growth. I am trained to provide evidence-based treatment in a flexible manner and often pull from CBT and DBT concepts and interventions. My approach emphasizes not only the building of skills to address your mental health symptoms but also skill development in the areas of communication and conflict management toward improving relationships. While I value maintaining a generalist practice, I have special interests in working with and supporting athletes and those who identify as a member of a marginalized group. I am also invested in helping people to access care that is right for them, and will make every effort to provide additional resources/providers if I am not the right fit.
