Hi There!
I’m Erin Pash.
Compassionately and sarcastically defined by friends and foes as a hyper creative, successful, “fun haver” that really comes up with some kick ass ideas.

Marriage and family therapist by trade, business woman & entrepreneur by day, human emoter, cute aggressor, experience enthusiast, and lifestyle curator by nature.
WHO AM I?
Erin Pash rocked the mental health world as founder and CEO of Ellie Mental Health for a decade, revolutionizing outpatient care with her innovative approach. This relationship guru and anxiety whisperer knows her stuff when it comes to complex family dynamics, healthcare industry insights, scaling businesses from scratch, and turning wild ideas into reality (franchising, anyone?). When she’s not authoring books, captivating audiences as a speaker, or creating must-see content, she’s somehow managing to wrangle six kiddos at home. Talk about a superhero without the cape!
