Meet Callie Chunodkar, LPC – Helping Children Heal, Grow, and Thrive

When your child is struggling emotionally, it can feel overwhelming to know how to help. I'm Callie Chunodkar, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over six years of experience working with children and families. I specialize in supporting children ages 5–13 as they navigate big feelings, difficult experiences, and life transitions. My mission is to partner with both your child and your family to promote healing, resilience, and long-term emotional well-being.

What I Offer

I provide individual and family-based therapy designed to meet children where they are—emotionally, developmentally, and relationally. My work is tailored to help kids express themselves, build emotional regulation skills, and strengthen their self-esteem. I support children and families through:

• ADHD & attention challenges
• Anxiety & emotional overwhelm
• Grief, loss, and separation
• Family transitions such as divorce
• Mood dysregulation
• Stress & school-related struggles
• Sleep issues & behavioral concerns
• Parent-child relationship building

Together, we’ll create a supportive path forward—one that honors your child’s unique needs and strengths.

Why Choose Callie?

• 🧸 Child-Centered & Compassionate: I specialize in child mental health and understand the importance of creating a safe, welcoming environment where kids can be themselves.
• 🧠 Expertise in Grief & Trauma: As a certified child and adolescent grief counselor, I bring deep understanding and specialized tools to support children through profound loss and trauma.
• 🤝 Family Collaboration: I believe therapy works best when it includes the whole system. I work closely with caregivers to strengthen communication and create lasting, positive change at home.
• 🛠️ Flexible, Integrative Approach: I adapt each session to your child’s developmental stage, emotional needs, and personality, using creative and evidence-based techniques that keep therapy engaging and effective.

Client Focus

I work with children ages 3–13 and their families who are experiencing:

• Anxiety, depression, and mood dysregulation
• Grief and loss due to death, divorce, or family separation
• ADHD, focus issues, and school concerns
• Parenting stress and family communication breakdowns
• Low self-esteem, sleep disruptions, and social difficulties
• Life transitions, including blended families and relocation

I also support caregivers with tools and insight to foster stronger emotional bonds and more peaceful home dynamics.

Therapeutic Modalities I Use

My approach is integrative, playful, and developmentally informed. I blend evidence-based practices with creative methods to help children process their emotions and grow. These include:

• Play Therapy – A child’s natural language for expression and healing
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) & Trauma-Focused CBT – Helping children build awareness and coping tools
• Mindfulness & Relaxation Skills – Teaching calm, focus, and self-regulation
• Person-Centered Therapy – Rooted in empathy and acceptance
