Welcome! I'm Callie, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist from San Diego, Ca. I work with adults & adolescents who experience depression, anxiety, substance use, and trauma. I have strong experience with Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and have been in the mental health field for 9 years. My treatment approach is client centered and trauma informed, focusing on metabolizing trauma and negative beliefs. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and have more extensive training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I studied at National University, obtaining a M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy. My primary goals for clients include creating a safe environment, providing empathetic listening, and processing trauma and negative beliefs so that they can live the life they deserve. I have a compassionate view when utilizing EMDR, resulting in making thoughts and memories less disturbing. I love what I do and prioritize my client's needs. I love to swim and go to the beach. I love teaching my son how to swim and spending time with my loved ones. I am inspired by people overcoming hardships and wants to assist my clients do the same. I accept Magellan, Kaiser of Northern California, Blue Cross, Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Oxford, Cigna, Aetna, and Anthem Blue Cross. We can also do private pay if you don't want to go through insurance.
