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, 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).

Allie Swinney, LCSW

CBT + DBT + Trauma-Informed Care

Allie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings a compassionate, client-centered approach to working with children, teens, and families. She has extensive experience supporting young people through challenges such as anxiety, trauma, behavioral concerns, family stress, and major life transitions.

Her background in community mental health has provided her with experience in trauma-informed care, crisis support, and therapy to individuals and families navigating complex and often high-stress environments. Allie integrates evidence-based approaches like CBT and DBT with a warm, collaborative style—helping clients feel safe, understood, and empowered.

While she primarily works with children and adolescents, Allie also enjoys supporting young adults and adults, meeting each client where they are and tailoring therapy to their unique needs and goals.
Outside of work, Allie enjoys being with her family, camping, and adventures. 

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.

Stephanie Jenkins, LCMFT

Licensed Clinical Marriage & Family Therapist

Stephanie is a licensed marriage and family therapist who brings a thoughtful, creative, and solution‑focused approach to her work. She believes healing happens best in spaces where clients feel safe, understood, and genuinely seen.

She works with children, teens, young adults, and families navigating life transitions, big emotions, and complex family dynamics. Stephanie has extensive experience supporting high school–aged clients, young adults entering college and adulthood, and children exposed to trauma or instability.

With a background in both therapy and the arts, Stephanie blends evidence‑based practices with creativity and collaboration. Her style is warm, grounded, and flexible, with a focus on helping clients build clarity, resilience, and forward momentum.

Mimi Cox, S-MFT

Supervised Marriage and Family Therapist

Mimi is a supervised marriage and family therapist who works with teens, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, burnout, depression, identity exploration, LGBTQIA+ experiences, and relationship  challenges. She supports clients who feel overwhelmed or stuck and is passionate about helping them reconnect with themselves and others.

Mimi uses a collaborative, client-centered approach that draws from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Satir, and Narrative therapies. Her work focuses on listening to protective or pressured parts, shifting beliefs that no longer serve clients, and strengthening emotional connection and self‑understanding.

Mimi values keeping therapy real and human, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can grow at their own pace. She believes reaching out for support is a brave step and feels honored to walk alongside clients in their healing journey.

Rosa Ciocca

Clinical Intern

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.
