Erin Carney, PhD

Erin is a licensed psychologist who values working with individuals, couples, and families impacted by suicidal thoughts and commonly associated concerns, such as depression, anxiety, self-injury, psychosis, mania, post-traumatic stress, and identity-related stress (gender, sexual orientation, ethnic/racial). Her clinical and research experiences have focused on suicide and self-injury throughout the lifespan (early teens thru late adulthood). She has worked with clients across the continuum of care, including outpatient clinics for university students and veterans, intensive outpatient programs, and inpatient psychiatric units. If you are looking for a strengths-based, trauma-informed, and multicultural approach in therapy, you and Erin will be a good fit. With individual clients, she tends to use mindfulness-based approaches (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy - ACT; Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT). She also has specialty training in suicide focused interventions (Collaborative Assessment & Management of Suicidality - CAMS; Cognitive Therapy for Suicide) and trauma-focused interventions (ACT for Trauma; Cognitive Processing Therapy - CPT). With couples, Erin uses the Gottman method to support you and your partner's ability to reconnect, communicate, and resolve conflict in a healthier way. With families, she uses Attachment Based Therapy to repair relationships that have been impacted by your teen/young adult's depression, suicide attempt, gender identity, and/or sexual orientation.
