As advanced therapists trained in empirically validated models like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), we are here to support you in achieving your individual and relational goals. Relational healing is our specialty.
Beyond our specific training, we believe true healing stems from the empathic connection between client and therapist. In our work together, we offer compassion, authenticity, and intentional therapy within a safe and nurturing space.

Melissa Callahan is an AAMFT Approved and Virginia Board Approved Supervisor who utilizes the Person of the Therapist Training Model as her supervision framework. Supervision and consultation with Melissa allow your authentic self to shine through with clients, while you fine-tune the deliberate execution of your preferred models. Supervision provides space for growth and reflection on the client’s experience and treatment, while offering wholehearted support to the therapist.
Effective therapy for clients begins with the therapist being nurtured and supported through supervision. At CTC, our support and collaboration will deepen the relationship you have with yourself and your clients. Your intimate connection to your own humanity will become your most powerful tool in fostering client growth.
Connecting with others is our passion. True connection is achieved by showing up authentically and vulnerably in your interactions with others.
