Dr. Vince Callahan

Dr. Vince Callahan received his Master’s Degree from Regent University in 1986 and began a thirty-year career as a professional counselor, working with individuals and families in both private practice and inpatient hospital settings.  As part of the intensive work that has been done, he has studied the needs of children and the impact dysfunctional family systems have on their growth and development.  Fueled by the desire to investigate these and other issues within the field of learning and development he began his Doctoral work at Regent University in 2010.

Dr. Callahan’s focus has been the neurological impact of emotional trauma and its effect on academic performance.  Intrigued by the implications within the educational system of how emotional trauma effects the learning process and academic performance, Dr. Callahan has spent the last eleven plus years researching early life stress and neurological development.   A key element that his research uncovered is the viability of creating a relational learning environment within the classroom which would impact the learning ability of children who have experienced early life stress.

Dr. Callahan has documented over thirty thousand clinical counseling hours of individual and family counseling. He has worked in many therapeutic venues, in-patient psychiatric hospital units, private practice, church-based counseling centers and PACT teams. As a Christian counselor he believes in the power of God to “set the captive free”, while utilizing sound psychological principles to assist clients in uncovering their interpersonal issues.
