Individual Therapy, EMDR Intensives & Couples Intensives for adults in Oklahoma
Does it feel like whenever you put out one fire, two more pop up?
Most of the people I work with look fine on the outside.
They’re used to staying in control.
They’ve built their identities around being dependable, capable, and calm under pressure.
They’re the ones everyone leans on. The ones who get it done.
But inside… everything feels fragile.
Sleep is elusive or filled with nightmares.
Quiet moments feel unbearable because when things slow down, the mind turns against itself — with memories, fear, and looping thoughts that never shut off.
So they stay busy. They prepare. They check. They plan.
They disconnect from themselves and sweep things under the rug — hoping it will finally go away.
And it never does.
What if things could actually be different for you?

Hi, I’m Kristen Callaway
Licensed Therapist | EMDR Certified | Law Enforcement Spouse
Every day, I have the privilege of helping people do the brave work of healing. I believe change is possible for you — not because it sounds comforting — but because I’ve watched it happen hundreds of times in real life.
Many of my clients begin therapy unsure of what’s “actually wrong,” overwhelmed by the idea of opening up hard things, or afraid of what they might uncover.
We go at a pace that feels grounded and safe. You won’t be pushed faster than your nervous system can handle. Together, we build stability and skills first — then we heal what’s underneath.
My approach integrates:
EMDR Therapy
Parts Work
Polyvagal & Somatic Techniques
Attachment-Based & Experiential Therapy
This allows us to work directly with:
Traumatic memories that still carry charge
A nervous system stuck in survival
Protective parts that learned to stay guarded
And the regulation skills that help you feel present again
Lasting change is truly possible.
My Specialties
These are the people and struggles I work with best.
If you don’t see yourself here but still feel drawn to the work, you’re always welcome to reach out.
-
You’re trained to stay composed in chaos, to push through exhaustion, and to carry what others can’t. Over time, that strength can turn into emotional weight — hypervigilance, irritability, sleep disruption, disconnection, and unprocessed trauma.
I offer specialized, trauma-informed care for first responders, military members, and their families to help calm the nervous system, process what still lingers, and restore a sense of steadiness both internally and at home.
-
Trauma doesn’t just live in the memory — it settles into the body, the nervous system, and the way you relate to yourself and others. You may feel stuck in survival mode, disconnected from your emotions, or haunted by the past in ways that don’t make logical sense.
Through EMDR, parts work, and somatic approaches, we gently work with the experiences that still carry charge — so they no longer run your present.
This is not about reliving the past.
It’s about giving your system the chance to finally resolve it. -
You may appear calm on the outside while your mind never stops — overanalyzing, catastrophizing, checking, preparing, and bracing for what’s next. No matter how much you “logic” your thoughts, your body still feels on edge.
In our work together, we don’t just manage symptoms — we address the underlying nervous system patterns that keep anxiety and obsessions locked in place.
This is support for people who are tired of white-knuckling through life and want real internal quiet again.
EMDR Intensives
Focused, Deep, Transformative
A premium option for adults who are ready to go beyond weekly therapy and create meaningful change in a shorter period of time.
You don’t need more appointments.
You need time that actually works — space to focus, dig in, and shift what’s been stuck.
EMDR Intensives are designed for:
Trauma that feels “stuck”
Anxiety patterns that won’t release
Grief, identity shifts, and major life transitions
This is where people stop circling and start moving forward.
Couples Intensives
Intentional Support for Your Relationship
A focused, private-pay experience for couples who want deeper connection, clarity, and communication — without committing to long-term weekly couples therapy.
Couples Intensives support:
Premarital clarity
Early parenthood transitions
Emotional disconnection and communication breakdown
This is relationship work for couples who want to be intentional, not reactive.
“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.”
— C.S. Lewis
From Chaos to Calm Starts with One Step
You don’t have to keep pushing through alone.
Support is allowed. Rest is allowed. Change is allowed.
Licensure Supervision for MFT Candidates
If you’re a Marital and Family Therapist Candidate in Oklahoma, I offer clinical supervision that’s honest, reflective, and deeply grounded.
This isn’t about checking boxes — it’s about becoming the clinician you want to be.
Supervision with me is:
Thoughtful, not performative
Grounded, not rigid
Relational, not robotic
We’ll sit with real cases, real questions, and the heart of this work — while protecting your humanity in the process.
