Getting to know Calvin Whitehead

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Master Addiction Counselor with 20+ years of experience supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, compulsive sexual behavior, and life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in CBT, motivational interviewing, psychoeducation, and trauma‑informed care. I help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful, sustainable change through compassionate, goal‑focused therapy. I work especially well with individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. Whether someone is mandated to treatment, coping with the impact of past trauma, struggling with compulsive sexual behaviors, or trying to break long-standing patterns, I offer a supportive and non-judgmental space to explore what's happening and create a clear path forward.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider's self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan's benefits.
