About Fay Callam

Using a person-centered approach and evidence-based, yet culturally safe techniques, I have had some successes in working with those who’ve experienced trauma, especially related to adverse childhood experiences (ACES) resulting in depression, anxiety or relationship and/or boundary issues. It is my belief that the client holds the reins and that goal attainment is within her/his grasp. My training at Columbia University and New York University, along with my Social Work code of ethics, are foundation for a philosophy of respect for the client’s right to self-determination while monitoring for safety.

8 Reviews

“I am thankful for the steady hand that Fay has provided. She very quickly found what mattered to me and we got to work. Between the calm nature of her video counseling, quick but probing worksheet exercises, and her understanding how best to help and my learning modalities, I have felt supported throughout the time together.”

“I just had my first session with Fay. She was humble and gave me the space to share or not to share, but at the same time asked thought provoking questions about me, life and who I am in Christ.”

“Fay is such a great listener and understands what the core problems are. If you want Christian based treatment, Fay is strongly recommended. As a Christian she approaches with holistic treatment based upon scriptures who are in need help for trauma, anxiety, anger issues.”

“Fay Callum is a caring, engaging, encouraging, and compassionate therapist who supports me without judgement”

“I've found her use of EMDR to be really helpful!”

“I had been hesitant over starting therapy as I felt like these sessions would not be enough time to unpack the emotional burdens I have been facing. But Fay was able to create a space for me to share a lot of the things that were concerning me and still provide encouragement and hope through a biblical lens. Our sessions have been filled with a good balance of grace and challenge that I am able to leave sessions pondering/reflecting and feeling renewed and strengthened. I’m grateful for therapy now and am so glad I was matched with Fay and intend on continuing to explore and discover healing along side God.”

“Very helpful”

“Fay is absolutely amazing. I am so thankful to have her as a therapist. She is very knowledgeable and great to talk to.”
