TRANSFORMATIVE THERAPY FOR TRANS AND GENDER DIVERSE FOLX

Let go of your past, find your peace in the present, and create the joyful future you deserve

YOUR HEALING JOURNEY BEGINS HERE

​

 ˗ˏˋ Hi, I'm Calista ˎˊ˗

If you've lived trough traumatic experiences and don't know how to let them go, or you've been stuck in cycles of anxiety/depression and struggle to find happiness, please know that you're not alone.

ꨄ The peace of letting go and loving ourselves is something we all deserve ꨄ

I’m here to help you experience the change, relief and lightness you’re looking for. I’m a psychotherapist with a passion for transformative work that makes a real difference in the lives of people I see.  I’ve worked with many folx who've struggled with difficult conditions that they've learned to overcome with the help of proven therapies and someone who is also LGBTQ+.

✮ I approach therapy from a place of collaboration, support, and acceptance ✮

I have experience and knowledge in the areas of depression, anxiety, mindfulness, trauma, crisis/suicide, gender identity, and LGBTQ+ counseling.  Additionally, I’m a certified trauma clinician and trained in EMDR therapy.

Together, we’ll examine how your past experiences and emotional distress have led you to not having the results in life you want.  We then work to raise your mindful awareness, develop healthy coping skills, and create lasting change in your behavior that will lead you to experiencing less distress, and ultimately, to thrive in a more joyful existence.
