Elizabeth McCallion, PhD
Interim Associate Director of CAPS
My journey as a psychologist began with an interest in mindfulness meditation while studying Buddhism in college. Over the past decade, I have engaged in clinical training and research focused on the use of mindfulness to improve mental and physical health. When I am not in the clinic, you might find me on a local hiking trail, at the Arcata Farmers Market, a live music show, or on my yoga mat.
I treat a wide range of mental health concerns and have specialized training in the treatment of anxiety, depression, PTSD, insomnia, and chronic pain. I tend to use modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and Motivational Interviewing (MI).
