Getting to know Katie Callihan
I'm so glad you're here. I’d love to see if we’re a good fit!
Feel free to reach out to schedule a free 15-minute video chat.
I have over five years of clinical experience providing adults with both couples and individual therapy who struggle with ADHD, executive functioning, anxiety, perfectionism, self-esteem, codependency, grief, family trauma, substance use, depression, bipolar I and II disorder, PTSD, C-PTSD, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), borderline personality disorder (BPD) and other mood or personality disorders.
I believe therapy is a collaborative process. Together, we can create a culturally responsive, personalized, and evidence-based treatment plan designed to reduce distressing symptoms, strengthen coping skills, and support your overall mental health and well-being while honoring your autonomy and lived experiences through the stages of change.
In addition, I have specialized training through Postpartum Support International (PSI) to support individuals experiencing postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, postpartum OCD, fertility challenges, pregnancy and postpartum mental health concerns, and reproductive grief and loss.
Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, life transitions, or perinatal mental health concerns, I strive to provide a warm, affirming, and effective therapeutic space where meaningful change can occur.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Sessions are 50-minutes.
At the beginning of our first initial session, I will plan to go over a few housekeeping rules including billing, the cancellation policy, confidentiality and make space for initial questions you might have before I begin the intake process.
As far as my style goes, I am a warm, direct, human-centered therapist who likes to integrate various modalities depending on the clients severity of symptoms, style and personality. I use CBT in combination with Narrative Therapy as the corner stone of my work to help the client identify ‘thinking mistakes’ and ‘limiting beliefs’ and rigid narratives about the self or others to better understand how our thoughts affect our beliefs and behaviors. I have also received extensive training in DBT and can provide education on DBT emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, mindfulness, and distress tolerance skills if relevant to treatment. I also incorporate aspects of ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems Therapy) and Jungian Psychology.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
At the beginning of our first initial session, I will plan to go over a few housekeeping rules, make space for initial questions you might have and then begin the intake process.
The intake is a 50-minutes semi-structured interview called a BioPsychoSocial Assessment. The client will be asked basic background information.
If the content is triggering or too activating, the clinician will move at the client’s pace and can revisit certain subjects at a later time. The intake can take up to three sessions depending on the client’s level of comfortability and pace.
The client will be asked to describe each of these categories to the best of their ability:
- History of the Presenting Problem (the reason for seeking treatment)
- Any previous Psychiatric History or Diagnosis
- Trauma History
- Medical History
- Substance Use
- Family Dynamics & History
- Social Dynamics History
- Developmental History
- Educational & Vocational History
- Spirituality & Cultural Factors
- Hobbies & any other relevant information
The goal of the first few sessions is to establish safety and begin to build trust while gathering contextual information necessary for understanding and treating the presenting problem.
By the third session, we can outline specific goals for change to minimize unwanted symptoms and create a treatment plan to direct our work together.
Sessions can be as structured, skills-based or as open as clinically appropriate and dependent on the patients preference.

Katie was one of the facilitators in my therapy group for moms. She was really good at asking the group thoughtful questions that made us in the group feel more connected. I thought I was the only one going through so much of what I was postpartum but in this group - everything felt more normalized. So thankful for her in that group during such a crazy time.

I came to Katie with chronic anxiety that made it difficult for me to feel successful in my workplace. I was always doubting myself and feeling walked on. Through working with Katie, I was able to speak up for myself in a rational and objective way - something I never thought I could do. I know feel respected by my peers and I'm able to leave work at work and have more energy to participate in hobbies I enjoy.

Katie was my therapist for about a year. She was both sincere and validating but was quick with humor which I appreciated. I told her that I worked best when given homework and something to think about in between sessions so she would send me creative writing prompts based on our session and I always thought that was so cool and helpful.

I had a lot going on when I first met with Katie. I had just moved to the city and wasn't really sure about a lot of next steps and seeing her helped ground me each week. I told her I didn't have a lot of time to commit to weekly homework between sessions but sometimes she would send me short video clips or give me book recommendations that I could look at on my own time which was helpful for me just to have.

Katie was the first therapist I ever had. Honestly, I was a bit skeptical of the process but I promised my wife I would give it a shot. She made me feel warm and welcome and validated and helped me to be able to pick out unhealthy thought patterns that would lead to unhelpful thoughts and communication with others. I am so thankful for this experience!

I met with Katie for just under a year. I was having a tough time handling my depression and together we picked out a workbook that I would use between sessions. I was assigned homework and learned skills to help regulate my emotions better - even my family started to notice a difference in how I carried myself. I appreciate our work together.
