Hello, I am Dr. Walter Calvo and I have two questions for you. Are you interested in learning why you think and feel the way you do? How about learning why you choose to do the things that you do? I can help you learn coping skills to address common life challenges such as adjusting to change, managing conflict, reducing stress, improving relationships, and coping with grief. Equally important, I can help you process your emotional responses to distressing life circumstances. I also provide psychotherapy to address acute trauma, post-traumatic stress, anxiety and depression. My experience in this area comes from working with active-duty military, veterans, and first responders such as law enforcement, firefighters, emergency medical responders and their families. Gaining insight into why you think and feel the way you do is empowering. It will put you on a path to becoming the best version of yourself. If you are interested in any of that, let's talk!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session will be an opportunity for us to learn a little about each other. We will talk about your concerns and expectations for participating in therapy. Together we will clarify treatment objectives to ensure your treatment plan will address the topics that are most important to you. The session will proceed at your comfort level.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I will work with you to find the treatment method that best suits your needs. The treatment techniques we may consider include: Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Emotional Regulation, Structured Problem Solving, Narrative Therapy, and Supportive Psychotherapy (among others).
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My strengths come from experience (knowledge and skills) honed over a 20+ year career as a psychotherapist and Air Force behavior science officer.
