Helping you find your way back
—to yourself—
from the overwhelm of trauma,
the weight of anxiety,
or the quiet ache of unspoken grief.
Therapy for high capacity adults in Oklahoma who are tired of holding it all together — and are ready to truly heal
Kristen Callaway, LMFT — Owner & Therapist Seeking Peace Counseling, PLLC
You’ve been holding so much for so long —
and now it’s catching up with you.
Maybe you feel stuck, numb, overwhelmed… or like the ground beneath you isn’t solid anymore.
You’ve done everything you can to stay strong. To keep going. To hold it all together.
But deep down, you know: something has to give.
You don’t have to carry this alone anymore.
Let’s see if any of this sounds familiar…
First Responders, Investigators, Military — and Their Loved Ones
Carrying trauma, stress, and silence — even off the clock
Whether you're a first responder, forensic expert, criminal investigator, or service member, you're trained to stay calm under pressure — to move through crisis and keep going. But the toll doesn’t stop when the shift ends. It shows up in your body, your sleep, your relationships. Maybe you feel detached, irritable, or numb. Maybe you don’t even notice how much you’re carrying — until something gives.
And if you're the partner or loved one, you're holding it too. The worry. The unpredictability. The emotional distance. It can feel like you're walking on eggshells… or like the person you love is physically present, but emotionally gone.
“I can’t relax. I don’t even know how anymore.”
“I feel like a ghost in my own home.”
“I love them, but I don’t know how to connect anymore.”
If that hits close to home, you're not weak — you're overwhelmed. Therapy offers a space where you don’t have to keep bracing. Where what you’ve carried — and what it’s cost you — can finally be named, felt, and faced with care.
Trauma & PTSD
When the Past Keeps Haunting You
Not all trauma is obvious. You might look like you’re managing just fine — showing up for work, taking care of others, keeping it all together. But inside, it’s a different story. Maybe you feel constantly on edge, easily overwhelmed, or disconnected from your own life. Maybe you don’t even notice how much you’re bracing — until your body shuts down or your relationships start to fray.
Trauma often lingers in the background, quietly shaping how you think, feel, and move through the world. You might avoid certain places, overreact to small things, or feel like you're always scanning for what might go wrong. It’s exhausting. And it’s not your fault.
“I feel like I’m constantly bracing for something.”
“I don’t know how to stop spinning.”
“I’ve been in survival mode so long, I don’t know who I am without it.”
If any of that rings true, you’re not broken — you’re doing what your nervous system learned to do. Therapy can help you make sense of what’s happening, work through what’s still stuck, and start to feel more grounded in your own life.
Anxiety, Panic, & OCD
Always performing. Always pushing. Quietly falling apart.
You’ve built your identity on being capable — the one who handles it, fixes it, holds it all together. You move fast. Think ahead. Stay productive. But lately, it’s not working. You feel scattered. On edge. Disconnected from yourself. Always calculating what needs to happen next, but inside, something feels off.
Maybe it’s panic — sudden waves of dread, a racing heart, the sense that something is terribly wrong. Maybe it’s intrusive thoughts you can’t turn off, or rituals that feel impossible not to follow, even if they don’t make sense. You might look calm on the outside, but inside, it’s chaos.
The pressure is constant. The rest never really comes. You’re exhausted — but terrified of what might unravel if you stop.
This isn’t just burnout. It’s a slow disconnection from your own humanity.
Therapy is a space to finally stop performing — and start listening to the parts of you that are asking for care.
“I’m tired of being everything to everyone but myself.”
“I don’t even know who I am without the doing.”
“If I stop performing, what’s left?”
“I feel like I’m constantly on the edge of a breakdown.”
If any of that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. You don’t have to hold it all together here. This is a space where being human is more than enough.
Grief and Loss
Not all grief comes with a funeral.
Maybe it’s the child you couldn’t have. The parent who’s still alive, but emotionally gone. A diagnosis that changed everything. The quiet heartbreak of a life you hoped for, but never got.
Or maybe someone you love is gone — and while the world keeps moving, you feel frozen in place. You’ve tried to be okay. Tried to explain. But the ache is still there, steady and quiet.
This kind of grief doesn’t always make sense to others. But that doesn’t make it any less real.
In therapy, you don’t have to explain or justify what you’re mourning. We’ll honor your grief exactly as it is — without rushing it, minimizing it, or trying to make it tidy.
“I never thought life would look like this.”
“It’s like I’m stuck in something no one else sees.”
“I don’t know how to let go, but I can’t keep holding on.”
If any of that resonates, you don’t have to carry it alone. This is a space where your grief gets to matter — no timeline, no pressure, just honesty and care.
Breakthrough Therapy Intensives
A deeper, more efficient way to do the work that matters.
You’ve tried to fit healing into 50-minute appointments. But it often feels like just enough time to open something up — then pack it all away again.
That’s not how real change happens.
Breakthrough Therapy Intensives offer a different way forward: focused, personalized sessions that give you the time and space to actually work through what’s been weighing on you. No red tape. No rushing. Just real support — structured around your needs, your goals, and your capacity.
If you’re a high-capacity adult feeling stuck, disconnected, or emotionally maxed out, this is for you. Therapy that doesn’t just help you understand what's wrong — but actually helps you shift it.
“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.”

Hi, I’m Kristen Callaway
Licensed Therapist | EMDR Certified | Law Enforcement Spouse
More than anything, I believe healing happens in safe, steady relationships.
I work with adults who are carrying a lot: trauma that still echoes, anxiety that won’t quiet, grief that feels invisible. Many of my clients are first responders, healthcare professionals, and high-achieving adults who’ve spent years pushing through — often at great emotional cost.
In therapy, we don’t just talk about it. We slow down enough to actually feel it, understand it, and begin to move through it — with care, not pressure. Whether you're navigating a big loss, a past that won’t stay in the past, or a quiet sense that something just isn’t right, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
If you’ve been trying to hold it all together on your own, I’d be honored to help you carry it differently.
Why This Work Matters
Not Just Coping. Healing.
Most people come to therapy because they’re tired of just surviving.
They want more than relief — they want change. But not another worksheet.
Not another script. Not more pressure to “do it right.”
They want to feel like themselves again.
This kind of therapy meets you where you actually are:
in the overwhelm, the shutdown, the heartbreak, the holding-it-all-together.
It’s not just about talking.
It’s about changing how you relate to yourself, your story, and what you’ve carried.
Restore. Reconnect. Rebuild
This isn’t about fixing what’s broken.
It’s about understanding what happened —
how it shaped your nervous system, your relationships, your sense of self —
and finding a new way forward.
Restore a sense of calm and safety — so you can stop living in survival mode.
Reconnect with the parts of yourself you’ve had to hide or silence to get through.
Rebuild your life from a place of clarity, not fear or pressure.
This is deep work. But you don’t have to do it alone.
What Healing Looks Like
You don’t need a quick fix.
You need a space that’s steady enough to hold what’s heavy —
and safe enough to explore what’s been buried.
I integrate approaches that support deep, embodied change:
EMDR therapy for trauma and memories that feel stuck in your body
Parts work to explore protective patterns and inner conflicts
Somatic therapy to help you process your body’s felt experience
Experiential therapy like imagery or empty chair work — for what words can’t reach
Insight-based therapy to help you connect the dots and make meaning
Ready to Begin?
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming — especially when you’ve been carrying so much for so long. But reaching out is the first step toward something different. Not perfect. Not easy. But real.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, past trauma, complicated relationships, or a life that doesn’t look the way you hoped — therapy can help you make sense of it, move through it, and reconnect with yourself along the way.
This work isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about slowing down, getting honest, and building a relationship with yourself that’s steady, compassionate, and true.
When you're ready, we can begin — one step at a time.
