Callie works primarily with children ages 7–11, using a strengths-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approach to address anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, executive functioning challenges, and other emotional or behavioral concerns. For younger children ages 4–7, she incorporates child-centered play therapy to create a safe and expressive environment. She also integrates Kimochis®, a social-emotional learning curriculum that supports emotional regulation and feeling identification. Through collaborative work, Callie helps her clients identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, build confidence, and improve overall mental health. Her therapeutic style emphasizes warmth, safety, and connection—grounded in the belief that healing begins within a trusting relationship.
