About Carrie Torn, LCSW

charlotte, nc therapist

Hi there, I’m Carrie!

Picture of Carrie Torn, therapist specializing in the Enneagram and EMDR, standing outside.

I specialize in helping millennial women heal from trauma, self-doubt and anxiety to live fuller lives. 

I’m an anxiety and trauma therapist in Charlotte, NC and offer virtual therapy for all of North Carolina & Texas.

I have always been drawn to holding space and helping others and it felt natural to follow the path to become a therapist.

I strive to create a space for people to feel seen, heard and understood on a deep level, with the opportunity and safety to explore their inner worlds.

My own journey has taken many forms over the years – from travel and wanderlust to formal meditation, retreats, psychotherapy training and yoga – all of which have led me to deepen my passion for guiding others.

Through my life experiences as well as professional training, I have continually come back to the importance of the mind-body connection and integrating a holistic approach. I’m most passionate about teaching others to reconnect to themselves and their own inner wisdom.

I create offerings that encourage growth, self-discovery and healing through the practices of talk-therapy, EMDR, self-compassion work, mindfulness, the Enneagram and yoga.
It is my deepest belief that we all have the capacity for healing, growth and to live a meaningful life.

I’m bilingual in Spanish after living and working in Central and South America and I love speaking Spanglish with clients!  My current obsessions are thrifting,  practicing yoga, and playing outdoors with my two dogs.
