Dr. Corwin’s diverse background and experiences inform her therapeutic approach, grounded in relationship & unconditional positive regard. Within a strength based, integrative approach to health and well being, Dr. Corwin includes sensory awareness & body connection to explore how impulses translate into our everyday actions. Populations of specialty include people who are seeking skills for anxiety & depression, trauma giving birth, and performers. She believes people are complex and that thoughts, feelings, and body sensations interact with each other and determine how we interface with the world around us.

Dr. Corwin’s expertise is in emotional intelligence, which consists of empathy, emotional regulation, perspective taking, and communication. Her background in the performing arts helps to bring playfulness and humor to the therapeutic work, with mindfulness and creativity. Motherhood, parenting, and trauma giving birth are specialties.

Therapeutic goals will include a broad base of techniques to allow us to explore your world, and to identify and redefine who you want to be in your most whole self. Being in relationship with yourself and others can open you to the skills and awareness required to live your life on your terms with the joy you crave.

Birth Trauma Group

Hosted by

Dr. Heather L Corwin

Trauma from giving birth happens for women in many ways that can be exacerbated by our culture, medical system, and beliefs. If you are having lingering impacts from the transition of having been pregnant or giving birth, articulating and being with others who know what it is to give birth will help you explore and begin to heal. Resolving trauma helps you regain a whole life by addressing unresolved areas. Dr. Corwin has been working with women as birth support for decades. Let’s find a way together to explore and resolve real life issues around pregnancy and birth.

Artist in Limbo

Hosted by

Dr. Heather L Corwin

The world has changed and most performing arts have been impacted. Do you want to remain in the arts? Is this how you want to live? What do you love about your life? How can you be who you want to be? Taking time to process how being an artist is impacting you can be helpful to find a way to articulate how you want to have arts exist in your life. Meeting other artists who are in a similar position can help you articulate and share your experience, while understanding you are not alone in this experience.
