About me

I am a LIMHP and have been a therapist for about 15 years. I specialize in working with folks with anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, family situations, interpersonal situations, and overwhelming emotions.


My counseling style is eclectic and direct. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, and mindfulness therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you on your journey.

I do want to share with you that I am dyslexic, and I have found that live chatting is not a way I can be really effective as a therapist. I am comfortable communicating via messaging, but unfortunately I am not able to offer live chat. I prefer to offer both live phone, and live video sessions.

I look forward to working with you!

Carmen has been an integral piece in my healing and personal growth this year. I feel understood for the first time in my life, and even more- she has the expertise to give me the cognitive tools I didn't even know I needed. I am truly grateful for Carmen!

Dr. Chaney is a wonderful therapist. She listens to my concerns and asks thoughtful questions to help guide me to the answers I already have within me. She provides resources and supports me in between sessions as well. I look forward to our sessions and I greatly appreciate the help she’s given me thus far.

Carmen is extremely considerate, caring and committed to helping you achieve realistic goals. She adopts whatever approach you feel most comfortable with, without compromising her core values and techniques that are most effective. Carmen helped me improve my quality of life dramatically. She is the support and comfort every queer person needs and deserves.
