Hi, I’m Cornelia. (Hablo Espanol) I know it is not easy to speak to a stranger about the hardest things we are going through. I commend you for stepping out of your comfort zone and seeking therapy.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida since March 2007. I have over 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy and assessing adults, families and children in multiple settings. I consider myself skilled using a variety of clinical interventions (expressive arts with cognitive-behavioral, client-centered and trauma-informed approaches) in three languages: English, Spanish and French. I am a Colombian born immigrant who came to the US to further my education and practice as a psychotherapist. During my years of experience in psychotherapy I learned to incorporate the creative side of the human brain to facilitate expression and better flow the emotional communication. I have helped many people work through coping with life changes, stress, depression, anxiety, trauma and other multiple issues... I thrive in connecting with the person and developing trust, hope and faith in the therapeutic -and creative- process. My main focus is to provide a safe space for open conversations -via TeleHealth or in office- that allow the person to find their own path towards growing and healing. It takes courage to face our psychological challenges AND to take the first steps towards change, if you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you all the way!

I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with three years of professional experience. I have experience in assisting the client in managing their stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, helping them to increase their self-esteem, their confidence and their motivation. In addition, I am well-versed in assisting clients with depression. I believe that you are the writer of your story which means you have the power to create your desired outcome, and you have what it takes to overcome the challenges and obstacles that can keep you from reaching your goals and dreams. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you in your journey. I look forward to working with you!

Hello! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida and the proud owner of On Point Counseling LLC. I am also licensed in Indiana and in Virginia. I received my Masters degree from Florida International University and have been practicing for over 5 years. I have experience working children, adolescents, and adults. My goal in therapy is to help my clients to improve the quality of their lives.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), I am passionate about supporting teens and young (in age and at heart) adults, particularly those navigating life’s complexities and searching for a path to inner peace and balanced character. With a background in both psychology and health science (earning a double major Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Bachelor of Science in Health Science with concentrations in Social and Behavioral and Biological Health Science from the University of South Florida), I integrate a holistic understanding of mental, social, and physical well-being into my therapeutic practice.

I am committed to supporting you throughout your healing journey by providing a safe place that is non-judgmental, encouraging, and supportive as you navigate through the difficult moments of your life. Striving to help you gain insight about the problems hindering you from living your best life possible, address unhelpful beliefs, thoughts, and patterns of behavior, and implement new ways of coping through life’s issues. With compassion and understanding, we collaborate to determine the most effective approach to treatment. If you're feeling sad or depressed, more irritable or angry with those around you, have difficulty bonding with your baby, anxious or panicky, problems sleeping, having upsetting thoughts that you can’t get out of your mind? There is no reason to continue to suffer alone or in silence. We can help walk beside you towards your healing journey.
