I am Hoyden Callaway and I have been a counselor since 2010, primarily working with clients that have experienced trauma of any form and are experiencing anxiety and depression due to what they have seen or experienced. My approach to therapy is to assist clients in finding solutions to any difficulties they are experiencing at this moment or to find the best coping skills to assist them in controlling symptoms so the symptoms so no longer control them. Cognitive behavioral therapy, TF-CBT, EMDR, person center and solution focused are the modalities I primarily focus on in order to find the cause of distress as well as to promote healing. I know that therapy can be scary so clients are encouraged to work through the healing process and utilize techniques but only as much as they feel comfortable doing at their own pace.
I have a associates degree in arts, a bachelors in psychiatry, a masters of arts in guidance and counseling. I have attended numerous trainings in the treatment of trauma and the techniques I teach are all evidence based. Establishing rapport and a safe environment and relationship for healing is always ongoing, this doesn't end after the first few sessions in treatment as trust should always be worked for and earned. Individual sessions and treatment goals are always based on what my clients needs and wants are so that the client is always in control which is the best method in promoting the healing process.
