Erin Carnahan, LPCC

I specialize in helping queer, trans, and neurodivergent folks of color to recover from burnout, religious trauma, depression and anxiety, empowering them to heal, love, and grow as their authentic selves.

When you’re mixed race, queer, trans, neurodivergent, or questioning, it can seem impossible to feel seen and accepted for all of who you are. Whether you’re burnt out from masking in a neurotypical society, reeling with self-doubt and anxiety after growing up in controlling or chaotic environments, or barely scraping by (even if no one else seems to see how much you’re struggling) – you deserve to be seen and supported as your whole, complex self.

As a queer, biracial, ex-vangelical, and late-identified Autistic, I know what it’s like trying to contort yourself into spaces, relationships, and boxes that don’t fit. No one can survive that isolation, weariness, and shame forever – especially not alone – and you don’t need to keep trying.

Therapy with me is rooted in a foundation of unconditional acceptance, compassionate curiosity, and acknowledging sociopolitical contexts. Instead of forcing rigid or unrealistic plans on you, we’ll collaborate to customize an approach that affirms your unique identities and lived experiences. Together, we can figure out a freer way forward; start by scheduling a free consultation call on my website (livingoakcounseling.com).
