LMHC, 9 years of experience
Welcome! My name is Corina and I hold a license in Mental Health Counseling (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I went to school at Palm Beach Atlantic University for both my undergrad and masters education. Palm Beach Atlantic University is a Christian University and I feel grateful to have attended this school as it has created the person I am today. I believe that my faith has developed me into the counselor I am today and I function with that mentality in counseling. Jesus is the great counselor and I believe that we are to be the hands and feet of Jesus. I have been working in the counseling field for 8 years and have been licensed for 4 of those years. I have worked the majority of my career in an in-patient addictions center and have expanded to outpatient and in-home therapy with a couple of different community agencies. In those agencies, I have offered services to children from the ages of 4 to adults in their 60s, as well as family therapy. I have worked with an array of issues not limited to family conflict, relationship issues, communication, drugs and alcohol, anger, stress, coping skills and many other life issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a modality that I primarily work with and at times borrows from other modalities when it is fit. My goal is to build a real, raw and positive relationship while being compassionate and empathetic. I will be sensitive but also direct in my efforts to help you find solutions to your current and/or past issues. I also believe that incorporating the use of coping skills, boundaries and communication will increase the quality of life as well as the quality of relationships. I believe all interactions are the beginning of potential flourishing relationships. With that said, I think that as we grow in counselor and client relationships, this very relationship will better help you with your relationships with family, friends and co-workers. I am excited to meet you and to work with you as you learn new ways to live your very best life! Thank you for letting me be a part of your journey.
In our first session, we will get into what brought you to therapy. I will ask several questions that will get me the information I need to get a good idea of how to help. The first 3-4 sessions are information gathering for me, however, be ready to get to work in some practical ways. I assign homework differently to each client.
I have experience in assisting marriages, premarital couples, depression, anxiety, addiction, family conflict and many more. I have a down to earth style and try to be humorous when it is fit.

I come from a program in which CBT was taught. I believe that this approach helps you understand your thoughts, and feelings and how they connect. I believe that understanding what is happening and why you are choosing to change is the key to real long lasting change. While I primarily use CBT, this is not the only modality I use. I borrow from others as is fit for each individual client.

Corina is so easy to talk to and very personable! She offered great steps that were actionable and practical right from the start. The session flowed so naturally and the conversation left me feeling validated and confident.
