Who Am I?

I’m Carmen Phelps, LCSW-C/LICSW. With over 12

years of experience. I’ve supported adults through

trauma, transition, and healing. My work is rooted in

creating spaces where Black women and Queer

adults can Rest, feel Recognized, and be deeply seen.

At Little Bird Healing Collective, therapy isn’t about

proving your pain—it’s about being witnessed in it and

finding pathways forward. My approach blends

trauma-focused CBT, somatic and body-based practices, and a

culturally responsive, affirming lens. Together, we create space

for Recognition, Rest, and Real change.

Therapy isn’t about proving your pain. It’s about being witnessed

in it and finding pathways forward. At Little Bird, you don’t have

to translate your story or edit your truth. Together, we create

space for Recognition, Rest, and Real change.
