Callie Fraser, MSS, LSW
Callie Fraser, MSS, LSW is a Licensed Social Worker who specializes in working with adolescents and young adults struggling with any level of anxiety, depression, and stress. This generation tends to put the world on their shoulders, but forget to care for themselves. In addition to working with clients to build coping skills for their anxiety and depression, she enjoys identifying the role that both familial and societal expectations play in fueling it. Therefore, allowing clients to gain clarity over which goals and mindset are truly their own rather than the desire to meet others’ expectations.
Callie enjoys taking a trauma-informed approach while supporting clients as they navigate life transitions and relationships, create a healthy work-life or school-life balance, build coping skills, practice effective communication, and set boundaries. She believes that by recognizing our resilience, challenging perspectives, and growing self-esteem, we can bring more peace of mind within our own lives. This makes space for more joy and self-love. Though she is able to integrate different therapy styles, her primary focus is to maintain an empathetic, warm, and non-judgmental approach as the complex pieces of each client’s story are shared over time. She believes that the therapeutic relationship itself is the foundation of effective therapy. She utilizes not only her education and experience in the Social Work field, but her own journey with emotional health as well as her humor, sarcasm, and genuine love for human connection. She arrives to sessions as a human first and therapist second. Callie completed her Master of Social Service degree at Bryn Mawr College and her Bachelor of Social Work degree at West Chester University. Before working in private practice, she has worked with a wide range of clients including adjudicated youth, men with traumatic brain injuries, and children infected or affected by HIV/AIDS. She also enjoys working with the LGBTQIA community, as a daughter of two moms who have fueled her ongoing passion for supporting and advocating alongside oppressed groups. |
