My Approach to Helping
Hello my name is Carrie McElwee and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, in California. I believe in meeting the client where they are and creating a safe space for each client to feel empowered as positive change occurs, judgement-free and unapologetically.
My mission is to promote mental health services through prevention, education, and interventions. I have in my professional career integrated humor with a client-focused / client-centered psychotherapy approach and I am trained in using various evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Seeking Safety (SS) and Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT).
