In today’s hard driving culture, many people are working hard and enjoying prosperity. While this is good, a wide body of research shows a high number of Americans report feeling very lonely and isolated. What are we missing? Connection. We humans are wired for close and intimate connection. When we don’t have it in our most significant relationships, especially in marriage, it is hard to find joy in anything else. What gets in the way of achieving this connection? Negative cycles and unprocessed trauma. Negative cycles take over our important relationships and unprocessed trauma can make close connection feel threatening.

I believe that one of the bravest things that you can do is learn about yourself and your story, and then work to change the narrative. I work with people who are struggling to find their balance at this time. It is difficult to try to find traction in life, and struggle in your journey. My specialty is working with individuals and couples living with chronic illness and/or pain, depression, anxiety, and addiction. I want you to know that by seeing you authentically and individualizing therapeutic treatment, and treating you as a whole person, I believe that I can help you heal.

My specialization is in relational concerns, and I have years of experience working with individuals, couples, and family dynamics addressing a wide variety of issues. I know that making the decision to come to therapy is a difficult one and I work to provide a safe and neutral environment within the therapy office for clients to share vulnerabilities, and take the desired steps toward change. I begin each client relationship with a comprehensive assessment to thoroughly understand the challenges, and will work collaboratively in setting goals to provide measurable structure to the process.

Feeling trapped in a negative, repeating pattern? By making the choice to participate in therapy, you could be embarking on a journey to create positive and lasting change in your life. Through this unique and therapeutic process, you can undergo transforming and fulfilling experiences, even when facing difficult and challenging situations. My approach is simple, to identify specific patterns or behaviors that lead to ineffective outcomes. I work collaboratively with my clients, using unique and innovative methods to identify healthy goals and strength based solutions to guide you to a path of authentic and lasting change.

Hello! My name is Cally Skalko and I am licensed as an LAC by the AZ Board of Behavioral Health Examiners to practice psychotherapy. I have grown in my journey while exploring and experiencing many cultures in 19 countries worldwide. My life has been filled with honor and blessing having: mentored youth and their families on the Akimel O’odham Reservation, taught students ages K-8 as a public educator, directed and trained teachers in birth through school age childcare facilities, and opened my home and heart to six amazing young people as their foster mom (“auntie/Tia")

When I meet new clients, I try to put myself in their shoes in order to gain a better sense of their needs. Therapy can be a seemingly daunting venture, especially when it is the first time reaching out for help. I want my clients to feel comfortable and understood in a safe and non-judgmental environment. Many of us can feel at times as if we are hitting barriers in our relationships, in personal battles, and in the face of difficult life transitions. No one should feel as if their problem is unimportant, insignificant, or hopeless. I strive to demonstrate genuine compassion and empathy to help others begin a journey of healing.

Every person faces the wilderness of the world, whether that be depression, trauma, painful life experiences, or any other challenges. We are all searching for a way to walk in harmony with that wilderness and to grow through our experiences. I believe that each person walks their own path and that therapy is about individuals learning to recognize and accept their intrinsic worth and fostering resilience. Lasting change is possible and we all start somewhere. Why not start here?

Making the decision to attend therapy can be a challenging one. I believe one of the most important aspects of therapy is trust: that’s why I first take time to get to know you and build a therapeutic relationship with you in a safe and nonjudgmental environment. Our work will involve me completing a comprehensive assessment so that I can have a better understanding of your concerns. Through supportive reflection, I will then work together with you to help build an understanding of why certain challenges may be occurring, and how you can achieve the changes you hope to see in your life.

You matter. You are not here by chance but by divine appointment. You are ready. The thought of starting therapy can be daunting, especially if this is your first time looking for help.

I think relationships can be a great source of happiness or pain. What makes the difference which direction a relationship goes is highly dependent on how well you are able to communicate around important issues that surface in your relationship. Much of the time, strong emotions surface and interrupt quality communication. When individuals learn to manage and understand emotional reactions, difficult relationships can often take a quick turn for the better. Maybe our needs are not being met by our partner, our young child is acting out, or our teenager is giving us grief. Relationships improve when using the right tools.
