About Dr. Aubrey Carpenter

Aubrey Carpenter, PhD, is a licensed clinical psychologist committed to helping parents more seamlessly navigate the ever evolving challenge of becoming parents and raising children in these modern times. She brings nearly two decades of clinical experience working with youth and families in a variety of clinical and medical settings.

Aubrey Carpenter will be the first to tell you that she is not a parenting expert, as she is skeptical that there is such a thing when every family is so unique and layered. However, across her time supporting families in hospitals, schools, and outpatient medical and mental health clinics, she has seen time and time again that resilient and strong parents make for healthy children and favorable public health outcomes. Her excitement in this field comes from her belief that we can help all caregivers and parents feel good about their experience when the systemic supports are adequate. All parents deserve the opportunity to feel effective and proud of the work that goes into raising good humans.

Dr. Carpenter brings a wide range of evidence-based psychological treatments to her approach in helping parents identify what they need to bolster their village and their own skillset, and what barriers might get in the way. She draws from interventions such as CBT, ACT, RO-DBT, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic/relational approaches to help parents engage in more value-aligned activities and navigate barriers such as perfectionism, challenging family dynamics, and generational trauma.

Dr. Carpenter is also credentialed with the National Register of Health Service Psychologists and she is a member of PSYPACT, enabling her to see clients residing in most states (excluding NY, MA, and CA).

Dr. Carpenter likes to infuse her approach with humor, metaphors, and narrative approaches as she knows that we all learn best when we make it meaningful and memorable. She enjoys cooking, yoga, skiing, art and design, and spending time outside with her family.
