About Cerebrum

What Cerebrum Is (and Definitely Isn’t)

Cerebrum started with a simple question: “What if therapy didn’t feel like therapy?”

Not the stiff, awkward kind. Not the kind where you sit across from someone with a clipboard who doesn’t get you. But the kind that actually helps because it’s built around how you think, how you feel, and how you want to grow.

Erin Laney, MSW, LCSW

Founder + Lead Sane Skullptor

Erin is a licensed clinical social worker, trauma nerd, EMDR specialist, and the original brain behind Cerebrum. She’s worked with youth and families for years, but never loved the clinical box that most therapy happens in—so she built her own world instead.

She’s warm, creative, neurodivergent-affirming, and obsessed with building systems that make mental health accessible without watering it down.

If she’s not in session, she’s probably designing the next patch drop or turning her living room into a tie-dye lab.

Hannah Mooney, LCSW

EMDR + CBT with a Creative Twist

Hannah’s a licensed clinical social worker who works with kids, teens, and families navigating big feelings, hard stuff, and the weird rollercoaster of growing up. Whether it’s anxiety, school stress, or family chaos, she creates a space where you can breathe, be yourself, and figure things out without judgment.

Her sessions mix science-backed therapy (like EMDR + CBT) with creative expression—think art, movement, journaling, and other tools that help your brain actually do something with what you’re feeling.

When she’s off the clock, you can catch her crocheting, painting, or chilling with her cats (who are equal parts cuddle bugs and chaotic).

Addison "Addi" Passiglia, LPC

EMDR + Play Therapy

Addi’s a licensed professional counselor who works with individuals of all ages, specializing in play therapy and attachment with young children (3 and up), adolescents with symptoms of depression, anxiety, ADHD, social skills, grief/loss, and trauma.

As a counselor, Addi engages in a collaborative and client-centered approach that uses elements of dialectical behavioral therapy, play therapy, somatic, creative art techniques, and EMDR where appropriate. Addi also has experience in attachment work and enjoys working with couples and families.

When she’s not working, Addi enjoys spending time with her family and pets, reading, listening to music, and crafting.

Mimi Cox, S-MFT

Supervised Marriage and Family Therapist

Mimi works with individuals, families, and teens navigating everything from identity and school pressure to major life changes and anxiety that just won’t quit. She’s training under supervision, which means she brings fresh energy and a pro-level mentor.

Clients love her for her curiosity, insight, and calm, grounded presence. She helps people feel seen, supported, and stretched—in the best way.

Rosa Ciocca, Clinical Intern

Therapist-in-training

Rosa joins us as a clinical intern and current master’s student in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She brings five years of hands-on experience working in community mental health with children, teens, and adults.

Rosa has supported clients navigating ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and more. She has experience in group work, grief processing, and DBT‑informed care. What families notice most about Rosa is her grounded, laid‑back presence and her creative, outside‑the‑box approach. She practices through a Gestalt lens, helping young people build awareness, connection, and confidence in their own experiences.

When she’s not studying for her licensing exams or seeing clients, you’ll find her behind a camera, painting, or spending time with her two children.
