A Message from Kalista
Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, Kalista is married and has three children. She enjoys swimming, gardening, nature, art, and playing with her four dogs and three cats. I am passionate about mental health and improving the well-being of children. Kalista is committed to providing lifelong skills through various therapeutic techniques such as TF-CBT, CBT, DBT, and Psychoeducation.
Her personal mission at Charles Drew Health Center:
“To provide a safe and supportive environment in which children and their families can heal and process their traumatic events without fear of being judged. To help improve their self-confidence while acquiring essential coping strategies and communication skills to better themselves for their futures.”
