Erin Foster, Ed.D, LMFT
Appearing on medical-based programs like Dr. Drew and the Doctors, Dr. Erin Foster brings approachability and science-based facts to the psychology of current events and relationship struggles. Whether she is on television, consulting on films, in corporations, and at Universities, or working one-on-one in therapy sessions, Dr. Foster helps patients self-identify the core of their struggles and unravel behaviors and responses that motivate their decisions and relationships.
Growing up, Erin was driven and always strived to do her best, and then some! But at the heart of her ambition was a sincere desire to help animals and children in need. It’s this drive and compassion that defines the woman she has become and the unique approachability and empathy in her therapy practice and consultations. Children, patients in her office, or studio audiences, all take away tools and advice that shift their behaviors for the better and allow them a life of positive response and empowerment.
Dr. Erin Foster lives and works in Southern California. She spends her downtime with friends, many of which she’s had since preschool. Most of her time is spent with her best friend, her daughter. They take advantage of the California outdoors and are often found surfing and skiing. When they aren’t water or mountain adventuring, they are keeping their Bernese mountain dog from chewing up the furniture and hiding from the cats.
