Carolyn McClung is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to providing compassionate, trauma-informed support to the perinatal community. She deeply believes that seeking support is a profound act of courage and considers it an honor to be invited into a client's story.

Born and raised in the U.K., Carolyn later moved to California where she earned her MSW and began her professional journey as a therapist. Now married with two young children, her own path through early motherhood, grief, and significant identity shifts profoundly shaped her commitment to maternal mental health.

Carolyn brings many years of experience working with attachment-focused parenting, family systems, and supporting families involved in foster care and adoption. She is committed to working with mothers, caregivers, and partners, providing strengths-based care that is also adoption competent. Her practice is passionately focused on breaking intergenerational trauma and interrupting unhealthy parenting patterns. Furthermore, she grounds her work with LGBTQ+ clients and families in an empowering, decolonizing approach that honors each person’s unique lived experience.

She draws from a range of modalities to facilitate deep, embodied healing, including EMDR (of which she is also a Consultant), parts work, and somatic approaches, as well as CBT. Carolyn strives to help clients move through trauma with safety, compassion, and empowerment. She considers it a privilege to walk alongside her clients, nurturing their healing and helping them feel grounded and capable during the perinatal period and beyond.
