Megan Callahan, PsyD, ABPP
Welcome. With warmth, acceptance and scientific rigor, I work collaboratively with my clients to help them achieve greater clarity, self-efficacy and competence. Many of my clients find a great sense of peace, ease and empowerment through testing, evaluation and cognitive rehabilitation.
Professional Summary
I am a board certified neuropsychologist with unique expertise in brain-behavior relationships. With over 15 years of clinical experience, I am especially well-suited to evaluate and treat clients with highly complex medical histories and complicated lives.
In addition to serving the community through Trailhead Neuropsychology in SW Portland, I practice as a neuropsychologist at the VA Portland Healthcare System. There I conduct neuropsychological evaluations for US Veterans, supervise advanced-level graduate students, and serve on faculty at OHSU. I have spent over a decade conducting research examining the efficacy of cognitive rehabilitation for veterans with a history of a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Advanced Training
I earned both my master’s and doctoral degrees in Clinical Psychology from the American School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University in Washington, D.C. I completed my predoctoral internship and postdoctoral fellowship at the VA Portland Healthcare System.
I became a licensed psychologist in the State of Oregon (license no. 2404) in 2013 and earned board certification in clinical neuropsychology through the American Board of Professional Psychology in 2022.
Integrated Approach
Beyond neuropsychology, I am proficient in many evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Behavioral Activation (BA) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). In my private practice, I draw upon the latest research in mental health and neuroscience to inform treatment planning while taking a client-centered, thorough and communicative approach.
Outside of my clinical work, I love communing with Timbers fans at Providence Park and exploring nature in the amazing Pacific Northwest with family and friends.
