Elizabeth McCallion, PhD (she/her)
Director of CAPS
My journey in mental health began with an interest in mindfulness meditation. Much of my academic career involved studying the impact of meditation on mental and physical health outcomes. I am endlessly fascinated in the mind-body connection and have experience working in various health care settings providing integrated care. I have been at Cal Poly Humboldt for five years now, the first three as a staff psychologist and the last two as an administrator. I am honored to be able to support such a fantastic team of clinicians in the important work of student mental health. When I am not in the office, you might find me out at a park or on a bike ride with my family. I'm a lover of the arts and always open to new music suggestions.
