Dr. Erin Carpenter

Meet Your Therapist

I'm Dr. Erin Carpenter, a licensed psychologist working with adults in California and New York. I help people explore the deeper patterns shaping their lives so they can build self-awareness, heal old wounds, and show up differently in their relationships.

My approach is warm, relational, and authentic, with an emphasis on creating a space where you can feel safe, understood, and able to explore what matters most to you. Over time, this work can support deeper insight, emotional steadiness, and more intentional ways of being.

A deeper way to heal

My Approach to Therapy

Therapy with me is about slowing down and paying attention to what’s beneath the surface. Instead of focusing only on symptoms, we explore the patterns, feelings, and experiences that shape your life. This deeper understanding opens the door to greater self-awareness, intentional choices, and a stronger connection to yourself and others.

The Process

01. Free 15-Minute Phone Consultation

We start with a brief call where you can share what’s bringing you to therapy, ask questions about my practice, and get a sense whether we’d be a good fit. 

02. Starting Therapy & Setting Goals

Once we decide to move forward, we will meet for weekly sessions. In this phase of our work, we’ll explore what brought you to therapy and get clear on your goals for our time together.

03. Deeper Exploration & Insight

Over time, we’ll dive into the patterns, feelings, and experiences that shape your life, gaining insight and beginning the process of healing.

04. Building Change & Moving Forward

You’ll develop new awareness and tools that help you break old patterns and create lasting, meaningful change in your life.
