About Carmen

If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in patterns you can't seem to break, or carrying the weight of painful experiences, you're not alone. Reaching out can feel vulnerable, so Carmen strives to create a warm, welcoming space where you feel supported from the very beginning. Carmen Carpenter, LLMSW, works with adults navigating anxiety, OCD, trauma, depression, life transitions, and stress.

She is especially passionate about supporting individuals struggling with overthinking, perfectionism, self-doubt, and disconnection. She is also committed to providing inclusive, affirming care to clients from diverse and underserved backgrounds.

Carmen takes a warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed approach to therapy, grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She believes therapy should feel empowering, genuine, and tailored to the individual, a space where clients can better understand themselves, build effective coping skills, and create meaningful change.

Carmen’s background in trauma and neurodevelopmental research at Wayne State University informs her understanding of how stress and past experiences impact mental health, relationships, and overall well-being. Carmen is accepting new clients for in-person therapy in Oak Park and virtual therapy across Michigan.
