Fay Callam, LICSW, LCSW

Fay Callam is a licensed clinical social worker with 35 years of experience. She holds DC LICSW and AK LCSW credentials and works from Alaska. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, grief, anger, parenting strain, career issues, bipolar challenges, and coping with life changes.

Fay favors a client-centered approach that keeps the person in charge of goals and decisions. She combines that stance with practical methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. She also attends to multicultural concerns and seasonal affective disorder when relevant.

In sessions she talks with people about how past experiences shape present reactions. That includes adverse childhood experiences that can show up as relationship strain, boundary problems, or ongoing anxiety and depression. She frames work as collaborative and focused on concrete steps the person can try between meetings.

Fay trained at Columbia University and New York University and follows a social work code of ethics. Her background means she monitors safety and steers the work when necessary, while keeping the client’s priorities central.

People who come to her for anger work often want fewer arguments, less snapped frustration, or better control at work. The practical tools she offers aim to reduce reactivity and increase clearer choices day to day.
