Callie Houk

Let's Connect (206) 672-7610

Whether you’re seeking therapy for the first time or have worked with a counselor before, I recognize the courage it takes to reach out for support. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, heal from past pain, and grow in ways that feel authentic to you. As a trauma-informed clinician, I understand that trauma can take many forms. My approach is rooted in the understanding that trauma impacts not only the mind but also the body, emotions, and spirit. My priority is to honor your unique experiences, helping you feel empowered throughout treatment.

I utilize a range of evidence-based approaches, including psychodynamic, attachment, and somatic (body-based) therapies, all of which are adapted to fit your individual needs. I believe that healing is a holistic process that not only involves addressing symptoms, but also fostering resilience, self-compassion, and a sense of safety within yourself.

By weaving together these powerful frameworks, my aim is to create a safe and nurturing space where clients can explore their inner worlds, past experiences, relationships, and nervous systems. It would be an honor to work with you and support you in creating a life that feels more grounded, connected, and aligned with who you truly are.
