About Cerebrum: Built for Brains That Don’t Fit the Mold
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.
Quick Hit: Why We’re Here
Therapy, But Make It Built for You
We created Cerebrum for the Sane Slayers out there—the neurodivergent, the burned out, the anxious, the masked-up-all-day kids and teens who are smart, sensitive, funny, creative, and freaking exhausted.
At Cerebrum, therapy is:
- Brain-first, not behavior-first
- Evidence-based, but never boring
- Personalized, creative, and actually kind of fun
How We Do Mental Health
Serious Science, Zero Stiffness
Cerebrum is led by licensed therapists (we call them Sane Skullptors) who use real-deal, science-backed tools like EMDR, CBT, and DBT—but we package them in creativity, flexibility, and a whole lot of human.
We mix:
- Evidence-based strategies
- Creative expression
- Goal-based work
- Our patch reward system
- Trauma-informed care
- Neurodivergence-affirming support
Whether you’re showing up for a 1:1 Sane Session or squad-ing up for a Secret Sane Society Quest, you’ll leave with tools that actually fit your life—not generic advice from someone who doesn’t get it.

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.
