Christina Chodkowski
Welcome! I'm Christina, a Licensed Master of Social Worker (LMSW), as an empathetic and non-judgmental therapist, I’m here to support you in navigating life’s challenges with a compassionate, understanding approach.
Licensed Therapist in NY | Empathetic Listener | Mindful Support
With years of experience working with teens and adults in a variety of settings, I bring a flexible, client-centered approach that adapts to your unique needs. I specialize in helping individuals work through grief and loss, anxiety, stress and life transitions. Together, we’ll explore your personal goals, identify obstacles, and create a path forward that honors your values and strengths.
I understand that grief is a deeply personal experience, and it can often feel overwhelming. Whether you're grieving the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or any other significant change, I’m here to provide a compassionate and supportive space for you to process your emotions. Together, we’ll explore your grief at your own pace, helping you navigate the complex feelings that come with loss while finding ways to heal and move forward. My goal is to walk alongside you as you honor your unique journey through grief, offering understanding and guidance every step of the way.
My therapeutic approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), positive psychology, and mindfulness strategies to empower you with tools you can use in your everyday life. I believe that while we cannot control every thing that happens, we do have the power to choose how we respond. By focusing on what we can control or change, we can build resilience and transform challenges into opportunities for growth and giving you your power back.
Creating a trusting, supportive environment is a priority for me. I strive to establish a space where you feel heard, valued, and respected. Whatever your particular challenge, I’m here to help you discover and unlock your inner strength.
I offer flexible scheduling, including evening and weekend appointments, so you can access the support you need when it’s most convenient for you. When you’re ready to take that next step, I’m here to guide you on your journey toward healing and growth.
