Red Mountain Counseling, P.C. Kimberly Callen, LCSW, CSAC, NBCCH
Leesburg, Virginia
I enjoy working with adults, adolescents, couples, and groups. Although I work with people on a variety of different issues, my specialties include mood disorder, addiction, anxiety and chronic illness issues. I have trained and practiced in a variety of treatment approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered therapy, hypnotherapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) so that I may offer each client an individualized approach to meet his or her therapy goals. I strive to ensure that therapy not only promotes relief from current stressors, but provides the tools to make lasting personal change.
Background
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years experience and have earned Bachelors and Masters degrees in Social Work. I am also a Certified Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC), National Board Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist (NBCCH), and Level 2 EMDR clinician.
Prior to my private practice, I held clinical, consultant, supervisory, and administrative positions in both adult and adolescent mental health facilities, hospitals, non-profit organizations, residential settings, and community mental health centers.
While working for Fairfax County Mental Health Department, I developed and supervised four Residential Treatment Centers for the Dually Diagnosed - clients who are both mentally ill and substance abusers. Following my years at Fairfax, I was both an outpatient and in-home therapist for a local facility for troubled adolescents.
I have also facilitated sexual assault survivor groups for the Loudoun Abused Women’s Shelter (LAWS) and a breast cancer support group for Loudoun INOVA Hospital. Prior to moving to Virginia, I co-founded and nurtured the development of the first Bi-Polar Support Group in Brevard County, Florida.
I’m a eight year breast cancer survivor – although prefer “thriver” to survivor! I understand the flood of emotions that overwhelm both the patient and loved ones once the diagnosis is given and how a medical crisis can impact every facet of one's life. I’ve been through surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. I know that improving one's mental health and coping strategies have a profound impact on the healing process, as well as on one's overall well being.
