Are you feeling stuck? Do you blame yourself or bad luck for unfortunate things that happen in your life? How are your connections with others-are those connections the quality you want them to be? I specialise in EMDR therapy; which can improve symptoms of depression, anxiety, addiction and C-PTSD. Change your narrative, build an empowered self-esteem, and have more adaptive and resilient thoughts, instead of draining and racing ones. Coping and grounding skills give you the authentic pause you need to turn your life around. Bloom to life, stop drowning in it.

Hello! I'll get right to the point - these are the main issues I specialize in working with:
1. TRAUMA/PTSD. This includes all types of trauma (physical, emotional, psychological) and residual trauma symptoms (OCD, anxiety, depression).
2. SELF and RELATIONSHIP ISSUES, including:
a. CODEPENDENCY (i.e. people pleasing, inability to say no, fear of upsetting others, lack of assertiveness, chronic feelings of obligation).
b. PSYCHOLOGICAL ABUSE (manipulative friends, family, romantic partners, controlling relationships, cults, abusive churches, workplace bullying, hazing, sexual coercion, undue influence, toxic people of all kinds).
c. IDENTITY CONCERNS (poor boundaries, lack of purpose/identity, career and higher education concerns, narcissism, former cult members).
3. SLEEP ISSUES: Chronic Insomnia, Nightmare Management, and help with CPAP/Obstructive Sleep Apnea challenges. I also enjoy doing dream interpretation.
Do any of these describe you or your situation? If so, I'd love to meet you and talk about how we can work together to overcome your struggles. Feel free to browse through my profile and if you feel so inclined, make an appointment so we can work toward restoring balance to your world again.
PLEASE NOTE:
Individual adults only (18+). I do not work with minors or couples.
Please be sure to complete the Intake Form before our first appointment. Failure to do so will require us to spend our first session completing it together.

Trained as a psychologist (Ph.D. from Cornell University). Some 20 years later I earned a specialized graduate degree in Psychotherapy from Nova SE University, the only nationally accredited program in all of Florida. I am a fully licensed therapist in the State of Florida.
I have taught psychology at Princeton, Tulane, Cornell, and Harvard Medical School.
We will spend most of our time creating solutions, instead of analyzing problems. So often, therapy gets bogged down in the endless exploration of problems. Problems are the results of behaviors that didn't work for you in the past. Solutions flow from changes that will work for you starting right now. Solutions make your life better. They bring joy and peace to your life.

Welcome! And congratulations on taking this courageous big step towards improving your life. I know that is no small feat. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who received my Masters Degree from NYU in 2003. I have worked in various healthcare settings with individuals, groups and couples of all ages. I work with adults struggling with common issues like stress, interpersonal conflict, low self-esteem, feeling overwhelmed and coping with loss. A lot of my clinical experience is with older populations struggling with issues of aging, retirement, finding new purpose and meaning in life, areas of loss and living with chronic conditions. I utilize a broad range of mind & body approaches to help uncover behaviors & patterns in thinking that are reinforcing negative feelings that are preventing you from living your best life. I am right by your side every step of the way working collaboratively to address your individual challenges in the context of your unique life to move towards self compassion, self discovery and healing.

Hello, my name is Dr. Cortnie S. Baity, LMFT and I am the owner of Onward and Upward Psychotherapy & Consulting Services, LLC., now serving all Florida and Georgia, and soon New York residents. I understand that throughout our life’s journey we all will face difficult moments and/or seasons. In order to grow through these times, we must embrace the human species’ primal need for survival: meaningful social engagement.
As a psychotherapist, I believe that a safe space for vulnerability, transparency, effective communication, and support are vital for growth and overcoming life’s day to day challenges. I also believe through the gain of guidance, clarity, empowerment, and commitment to change-oriented behaviors, clients can begin to experience the healing they deserve. I pride myself in providing a safe, non-judgmental space for you to share your story without submissions and receive practical guidance on how to keep moving forward. I look forward to meeting you soon!
