Meet Erin

~Erin is not currently accepting new clients and has a closed waiting list.~

Hi, I’m Erin Bratsky, owner and therapist at Brighter Sky Counseling in Billings, Montana. I built this practice with the intention of offering thoughtful, high quality therapy that feels supportive, collaborative, and practical.

Clients often describe their work here as individualized and steady. My goal is to create a space where people feel respected, understood, and supported as they navigate stress, change, and recovery. Therapy does not need to be dramatic or flowery to be meaningful. It needs to be safe, consistent, and effective.

I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of New England in Portland, Maine, and returned to Montana in 2007 to begin my clinical work. Billings has been home since 2015, and I value being part of a community where relationships and connection matter.

I have over a decade of experience working with individuals and families across a range of settings, including schools, residential programs, outpatient care, and therapeutic wilderness programs. My approach integrates somatic awareness, humanistic therapy, and relationship based work, with a focus on helping clients create sustainable change in their daily lives.

At Brighter Sky Counseling, I often work with clients who are feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or disconnected from balance. Therapy is a place to slow things down, make sense of patterns, and build skills that support both mental health and real life demands.

If you are looking for therapy that is grounded, thoughtful, and focused on practical growth, you are in the right place.
