I am honored to hold brave space for you in your journey.
Hi! My name is Erin Guiffre. I was introduced to the world of special education when I babysat for families with children with varying special needs in 2010 while I was completing my undergraduate degree at George Mason University. My love for working with individuals of varying abilities grew as I worked as a Behavior Technician for an in-home and clinic based agency while completing my BCaBA coursework. I received my Masters in Social Work along with my Certification in Applied Behavior Analysis from George Mason University in 2014. Currently, I hold an active BCBA, LBA, LCSW licenses in the state of Virginia, Maryland, Nebraska, and Florida.
I have worked with a wide range of clients abilities and ages with my primary experience being with individuals ages 1-25. I have worked in both clinic and in-home settings. My passion areas are working with individuals who are within the LBGTQIA+ community, dually diagnosed, teaching community safety behaviors to include comprehensive sex education, and emotional regulation/self regulation, ACT, and providing/practicing from a neurodiverse and gender affirming perspective. Additionally, I am passionate about collaborating and providing trainings to reduce provider burnout and bridging the gap between Behavioral Science and Social Work professionals.
In my free time I love to run, read, travel, teach, mentor, and spend time with my family (two children, spouse, and two dogs!).
