Hi, I’m Carrie McElwee, LCSW, Founder, Clinical Director, and Clinical Supervisor of We Heal Ourselves Psychotherapy Group in beautiful Downtown Long Beach. I created this practice to provide culturally responsive, affirming, and community-centered care where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered. As a trauma-informed therapist, I specialize in EMDR, trauma recovery, sex therapy, relationship and intimacy concerns, with a commitment to serving BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities. I also provide compassionate supervision to pre-licensed therapists as they develop their clinical knowledge and unique therapeutic voices. By integrating humor, compassion, creativity, and accountability, I help clients rediscover joy, practice self-grace, reclaim their voices, and build authentic, empowered lives—unapologetically.
