Hi! My name is Dr. Ed Callaghan. I have a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and am fully licensed in the state of New Jersey. I am the co-founder of the Integrative Therapy Institute of NJ and it’s Director of Child Services. I specialize in working with preschool and school-age children as well as adolescents and adults. I am especially proficient at working with children with ADHD, behavioral problems, and school-related difficulties--especially problems related to poor school performance, distractibility, and motivation/drive. I am also VERY SUCCESSFUL at bridging conflictual relationships between teens and their parents.
When you meet with me, you can expect me to be warm, relaxed, attentive, and very supportive. I quickly zero in on the problems to be addressed and offer an outline for achieving improvement. I am VERY easy to talk to and my approach is non-judgmental and very supportive.
In addition to these areas, I am also highly experienced in treating adults and children with bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, psychosis, and trauma. I also have expertise in play therapy, parenting support, and consultation regarding Child Study Teams. I also work with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
