I'm Emily Carden and I am happy you have found my profile. I am a mother of 4 beautiful children and a grandmother to 3. I live in Coastal North Carolina and I enjoy the beach and spending time with my family. I am a LCSW with over 10 years experience working with Veterans, active duty military, adolescents, individuals and families. I enjoy helping people find the tools to create a more peaceful fulfilling life. I feel it is important to be well balanced as an individual in order to have healthy fulfilling relationships with others.
I use a variety of modalities to help individuals and families reach their personal balance in life. A few of the approaches I use include: ACT, CBT, DBT, Client Centered Therapy, Gottman Method and IMAGO. I also have experience in trauma focused therapy and grief and loss.

Emily is super nice and sweet. She really takes time to listen and help out in every way. And she follows up too which I think is really great. Would definitely recommend her

I am really happy working with Emily, I felt she "got" me right away which is a relief as it's so important to click with your therapist. I have got a long way to go on the journey of my recovery but I feel confident we will get there.

Emily is the sweetest human being I have come across. She always has kind words and she lets her patients be completely true to themselves during their session.
