Throughout my career as a mental health therapist, I have worked directly with clients coping through trauma, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression, and
substance use
issues.
As a clinician who is passionate about mental health, I am excited to work with clients who are motivated for change and willing to engage in self-exploration of their own values and thinking patterns. Changing the way we feel begins by addressing the way we think. Becoming more aware of our thinking patterns and how to challenge those thoughts that no longer serve us is what drives my practice. I am inspired by resilient people. I look forward to engaging in a therapeutic relationship where we can work together to get you feeling empowered and on your journey to healing.

The most important aspect of my work with you will be to build a positive, trusting therapeutic relationship in which we can together work through whatever difficulties you may be facing.

Hi! I'm Cornelia. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience. Everyone has a period in their life that they experience a situation or an emotion that may make them feel depressed or stuck, feeling misunderstood, not knowing how to feel positive again. At times, this makes it difficult to talk to someone you know, much less a stranger. I am here to listen to your specific journey, your strengths and your struggles. By providing a safe and confidential environment, a therapeutic relationship will be built; thus, will help you gain insight into your feelings, perception and coping mechanisms.

What type of Miami mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist or psychologist, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.

How to find a therapist or counselor in Miami?
When looking to find a therapist, start by considering training and credentials. Studies also indicate that the therapeutic alliance, or the relationship the client develops with the therapist, is an important factor in their ability to work together to achieve the client’s goals.
