Picture of Erin Metheny, LMFT

Erin is a licensed marriage & family therapist, a pediatric sleep consultant, a GooD INSIDE (Dr. Becky trained) parent coach, and founder of The Well Rested, a pediatric sleep consulting and parent coaching business. She works to help families become well rested by providing the necessary tools for independent sleep, improved behaviors and parenting while maintaining or even improving healthy attachment.

 

From an early age, Erin developed a passion to help families which led her to a career as a family therapist. While working as a therapist, she quickly noticed that poor sleep was at the root of many of her client's challenges. When she became a mom and recovered from postpartum depression with sleep deprivation, she knew that she wanted to help more families become rested, healthy, and happy by providing them with the right tools and compassion needed to become well rested. 

 

Working with Erin means you will have a fellow parent and a caring expert by your side who understands not only the science and value of sleep but also child development and attachment. You will have a great listener close at hand who will provide you with custom solutions for long-term success. You will have a guide and a friend to walk alongside you during the challenging times and to celebrate with you during the successes.

love from well rested families

Working with Erin was a fantastic experience. She was incredibly understanding and available to help consult with the many questions I had as we underwent sleep training for my 5 mo. old. She listened carefully to his history and came back with an incredibly thorough sleep plan for my son, and also provided multiple options for how we can approach sleep training depending on my comfort levels with crying. She was always very responsive and communicative and had so many great ideas and suggestions for how we can make modifications to his sleep schedule. At the end of our engagement, she also provided a list of FAQs that covered a lot of my future questions like what to do when he starts teething or gets sick. Our son went from being incredibly needy for naps and overnight sleep to being able to put himself down and self-soothe. Erin's help was an absolute game changer for our family!
