Carrie Steiner Biography
Carrie Steiner, PsyD, is a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in law enforcement mental health and trauma therapy. Steiner is the founder of First Responders Wellness Center, a private practice dedicated to providing trauma therapy and emotional wellness services for first responders and their families. The center is the only practice in Illinois exclusively focused on first responders and veterans. Steiner began her doctoral studies at Adler School of Professional Psychology and earned her doctorate from Illinois School of Professional Psychology.
Before her career as a psychologist, Steiner served for 13 years as a Chicago Police Officer, Crisis Intervention Team Leader, peer support member, and Chicago Police Academy instructor. During her tenure with the Chicago Police Department, she led veteran crisis intervention team training and autism spectrum training for law enforcement. Steiner also completed FBI hostage negotiation training and has worked as a psychologist for Cook County and Kane County Jails. She has collaborated with federal government agencies on high-risk cases involving individuals with mental illness, providing her with direct insight into the psychological challenges faced by public safety professionals.
In clinical practice, Steiner utilizes evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, prolonged exposure therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. She conducts police and public safety psychological evaluations, fitness-for-duty assessments, and develops wellness programs for police and fire departments, including annual wellness checks. Steiner also facilitates individual and group debriefings following critical incidents and provides expert testimony and training for first responders.
Steiner serves as clinical advisor and board member for Serve & Protect, a nonprofit organization offering trauma services and a 24-hour crisis line for public safety professionals and their families. She has delivered specialized training to organizations including the Chicago Fire Department, OEMC Dispatchers/Call Takers, United States Marshal Service, Chicago Public Library, Chicago Organization of Bar Investigators, Kane County Bar Association, and other government and private agencies. Steiner is a member of International Chiefs of Police, Illinois Chiefs of Police, Illinois Psychological Association, and Division 18 of the American Psychological Association.
As a national speaker, Steiner addresses topics such as officer wellness, police suicide, mental illness and police response, de-escalation techniques, cumulative trauma, crisis intervention, peer support, and PTSD. She has received multiple national and local awards for her work. Steiner's combined experience as a former officer and clinical psychologist informs her perspective on the stigma surrounding mental health in law enforcement, establishing her as a knowledgeable voice in the field of first responder mental health and trauma care.
