Masters Level Therapist
Claire Callahan, MA
After a 25 year career specializing in international trade and global supply chain, I chose to go back to school to become a psychotherapist. I have worked for a wide range of companies including a global medical device and bio-pharmaceutical manufacturer, a professional consulting firm, a large international bank, and an enterprise software company.
I completed my clinical internship at Life Insight, and I received my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University. I am a Masters Level Therapist and have earned my Certified Clinical Trauma Professional certification.
At Life Insight, I work with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, life transitions, and coping with family and professional stressors.
I practice from a psychodynamic theoretical approach, and I believe that integrating aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy, solutions-focused, person-centered, and Somatic psychotherapy theories helps clients achieve the best outcomes. Our complex, fast-paced society can present obstacles to finding peace, happiness, and self-fulfillment. Choosing to go to therapy is one of the bravest and most self-compassionate things you can do for yourself.
“You do not have to face life’s challenges alone.”
In my free time, I enjoy music, cooking, hiking, travel, Lego building with my son, and karaoke.
