Welcome to Mrs. Chumbley’s Counseling Page

Hello, my name is Carin Chumbley. My first year at Eddins Elementary has been so amazing. Our students, families and staff are such a joy to work with. I love coming to work every day! 

As many of you know, I am new to Texas, my husband and I moved here in the fall of 2023 to be near our son and his growing family. Upon moving here, I worked in the Plano school district. Prior to making the move to Texas, I worked for the same school district in Northern California for 18 years, splitting my time between two elementary schools. 

I come from a family of educators. My mom was an elementary school teacher (she was also my kindergarten teacher), and my dad was the principal at my high school. They were incredible role models and I have carried on their passion for educating and loving kids! I graduated from California State University, Sacramento with my bachelors in psychology and my masters in counseling, with a specialty in school counseling. 

I am passionate about empowering kids and helping them grow in social-emotional strength ~ sorting out confusing feelings, learning healthy coping skills/tools, resolving conflict peacefully, developing good character and becoming leaders who desire to help others! 

Another great passion of mine is helping families build and maintain happy, healthy relationships. I have been teaching Love and Logic parenting courses for 15 years. It has been such a privilege to share Love and Logic during our Counselor Chats this year, I look forward to continuing with this next year.

I feel so blessed to have joined the amazing students, staff, and community at Eddins Elementary. If I have not yet met you, I hope to very soon! Please don't hesitate to contact me at cchumbley@mckinneyisd.net
