Carrie McElwee

Hello my name is Carrie McElwee and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, in California. I believe in meeting my clients where they are and creating a safe space help them feel empowered, as positive change occurs judgement-free and unapologetic.

My mission is to promote mental health services through prevention, education, and interventions. I have in my professional career integrated humor with a client-centered psychotherapy approach. I'm trained in using various evidence-based practices.​

​

As a trained trauma-informed therapist, I specialize in working with adolescents and adults within several demographics, including BIPOC and LGBTQ communities. I also work with couples facing relationship and sexual issues.

I enjoy setting an environment which is relaxed and stress-free. It can be an enjoyable experience working with me because I encourage each client to seek their personal joy and healing by giving themselves grace. But, I'm not afraid to challenge my clients in order to achieve their treatment goals, work through challenges, and achieve healing in a therapeutic setting.
