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 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.

Greetings, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 28 years of experience working in the mental health and medical social work field. I have worked with children, adults, families, geriatrics, and people from culturally diverse backgrounds. I have experience working with Autism, ADHD, and people with multiple medical disabilities. I utilize the following treatment approaches in therapy: Crisis Intervention, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral, Cognitive Processing, Solution-Focused, and Bio-Psychosocial Medical models.

As an expert in the areas of anxiety, depression, and infidelity, I am committed to helping clients learn how to incorporate practical coping mechanisms, identify and utilize accessible supports and resources, as well as, build healthier intimate relationships. My work focuses on targeting, negative/false thoughts prompting feelings of excessive worry, ineffective behavioral responses to shifts in your mood, and unhealthy relationship patterns that often leave couples susceptible to relationship distress such as infidelity.

My clients often identify as feeling "stuck." Stuck doing the same things over and over again, stuck wanting to change but struggling to take action. Stuck in a job or in relationships that feel unfulfilling. I work closely with codependency recovery and learning healthy relationships. I most frequently work with adults (18-35) experiencing life transitions, strained or toxic relationships with parents/significant others/self, low self esteem, anxiety and depression (also shows up as poor digestion + sleep). I work closely with the LGBT+ community and provide a safe and inclusive environment for all to show up exactly as they are.

Do you feel misunderstood? Have you been yearning to live your best life? I can help you in navigating your concerns and challenges so that you can conquer doubt, manage conflict, and strengthen relationships. I have been working with clients experiencing mental health/substance use problems for the past twenty years. My approaches rely on evidence-based practices, including: EMDR, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral, trauma-focused CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and others. Sessions offer clients a safe, comfortable place to express their voice, process pain and distress, experience relief, and create transformation.

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) licensed in Florida as a Clinical Mental health Counselor with 20 years of experience working in this field.

I am pleased to introduce myself as a psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience in healthcare. I am certified in trauma therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness, motivation interviewing, and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) interventions. My experience includes providing early childhood counseling as well as treating adults, children, and adolescents. My goal is to help my clients gain insight into their experiences and develop coping skills to manage their challenges effectively. I use a client-centered approach to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual.

Do you scroll through your social media and wonder why you aren’t living your “best life”? You might say, “why does it feel like everyone else has their sh*t together and here I am, struggling to 'adult' on a good day?" Do you feel like you’ve lost your chance to live the life you always thought you'd have? Maybe you’ve achieved success, but are drowning in keeping up with your own unrelenting standards. You're exhausted from performing and disappointed that you always have to miss out. You know there is more to life than your job, but you can't seem to find that work/life balance. Life has become about keeping up versus living.

Have you faced adversity head-on & are ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing? Do you desire to reclaim control over your life and shape a future that aligns with your authentic self? Your motivation lies in a profound yearning for positive change, a commitment to breaking free from the shackles of past challenges, and a genuine belief in the transformative power of self-improvement. Together, we work towards building resilience and fostering a sense of empowerment for a brighter, more fulfilling future.

Are you tired of being the “dependable one” in your family!? You are juggling multiple roles of mom, wife, career woman. Everyone thinks you are superwoman, yet you are struggling silently. Despite excelling in your career and academia your inner critic says that you are “not good enough” & you need to be doing more! I see you. Maybe you are a professional, power couple looking to “boss up” at work without leaving your relationship behind. Let’s face it, life is hard…Marriage is hard…Raising kids is hard! Between work, kids, and family obligations we have very little left to give! And guess who gets our leftovers? Our marriage!

I help people gain perspective and insight into the challenges they find themselves facing. Whether you are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, family issues, or trouble at work, I can help.
