Ms. Calvert’s decision to pursue a career in counseling was inspired by her own observations of mental, emotional, and physical healing. She acquired deep insight through her experiences with physical cleansings, rebirthing, journeying, and shamanistic work. She also witnessed others going through profound suffering, which motivated her professional pursuits in this field. Ms. Calvert finds the work interesting, curious and fulfilling and considers herself fortunate to be of service in this way.

Prior to founding Origins Counseling, Ms. Calvert was a counselor at the National College of Natural Medicine (NCNM), where she provided individual and couples therapy to students and faculty. She has strong skills in the areas of diagnosis and treatment planning, risk management, ethics and law, and cultural diversity / awareness. In addition, she has professional and personal experience in non-traditional healing therapies designed to help bring about self-awareness and sustainable change. A solid understanding of alternative, plant-based healing in the treatment of chemical addictions rounds out her clinical skills. 

Alongside her clinical work, she has a professional background that includes 18 years of general management and sales leadership experience with ADP, Peco, Inc., General Electric Company, Encompass, and Johnson Controls, Inc.
