Phoebe Carmichael, LLMSW

Hi, I’m Phoebe Carmichael (she/her), LLMSW. 

 

I believe healing happens in relationships, with ourselves and with the people we love. Whether you’re coming to therapy individually or as a partnership, my goal is to create a warm, compassionate space where every part of you feels welcome.

​

I enjoy working with couples who find themselves caught in the same painful arguments, emotional disconnection, or pursue-withdraw cycles, particularly when past experiences or trauma are showing up in the relationship.  Often, these conflicts aren’t about the dishes or communication alone. They reflect protective patterns, old wounds being activated, and two people trying to feel safe, understood, and connected. 

​

My work with couples is attachment-focused and trauma-informed, drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic approaches. Together, we can slow down the patterns that keep you stuck, understand what's happening beneath the conflict, and practice new ways of responding that build greater safety, intimacy, and trust. 

​

I also work with individuals navigating complex trauma, dissociation, identity development, LGBTQ+ experiences, life transitions, and relationship concerns. I am interested in working with people who experience dissociation, including DID and other complex dissociative experiences. I approach this work with curiosity, compassion and respect for the ways our minds and bodies learn to protect us. 

​

I continue to pursue training in trauma, dissociation, attachment, and relational therapy so that I can thoughtfully support clients with complex experiences. 

​

Whether we’re helping you heal from painful experiences, strengthen your relationship, or better understand the parts of yourself that have helped you survive, we’ll work together toward a life that feels more connected, grounded, and authentic.
