Carmen Phelps, LICSW

Psychotherapist
MD
I am a licensed clinical social worker LCSWCLICSW with over 12 years of experience supporting adults through trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. My practice is rooted in creating safe, culturally responsive spaces for Black women and queer adults to rest, restore, and be fully seen. I blend evidencebased methods like TraumaFocused CBT and Motivational Interviewing with somatic and creative practices, so healing happens not just in the mind, but also in the body and spirit.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
