Getting to know Christine Callahan

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or burdened by emotional pain you can’t quite explain? Whether you're navigating trauma, life transitions, or ongoing stress, you don’t have to face it alone. I’m a licensed clinical social worker in both New York and Maryland, with over 30 years of experience helping individuals from all walks of life find healing, clarity, and strength. I specialize in working with people who have experienced emotional distress, trauma, or significant life challenges. Using a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to your unique needs, I help you explore the roots of your struggles—past or present—and support you in moving toward greater well-being and self-understanding. Together, we’ll work to bring resolution and healing. What sets me apart is my deep empathy, excellent listening skills, and a commitment to creating a safe, nonjudgmental space. I've worked in a wide range of settings and bring a wealth of insight and compassion to every session. If you’re ready to begin the journey toward healing, I’d be honored to walk with you.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I work intensively yet gently with clients. I ask questions to get to the heart of the issues and to understand what are the driving issues in a problem or situation. I am empathic and understanding yet probing. My goal is for greater understanding, and most of my clients see improvement within the first month. I also work long-term with clients for ongoing difficulties and challenges.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In our first session and thereafter we'll explore what brings you to therapy and the goals we can work on together. I will also seek to understand your background, emotions, and life experiences, along with your strengths. I use a variety of modalities, and together we will choose the one(s) that best fit your present situation and to help you on your journey towards greater well-being.
