Welcome ! My name is Corina and I hold a license in Mental Health Counseling (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I went to school at Palm Beach Atlantic University for both my under grad and masters education. Palm Beach Atlantic University is a Christian University and I feel grateful to have attended this school as it has created the person I am today. I believe that my faith has developed me as the counselor I am today and I function with that mentality in counseling. Jesus is the great counselor and I believe that we are to be the hands and feet of Jesus. I have been working in the counseling field for 8 years and have been licensed for 4 of those years. I have worked the majority of my career in an in-patient addictions center and have expanded to out-patient and in home therapy with a couple different community agencies. In those agencies I have offered services to children from the ages of 4 to adults in their 60's, as well as family therapy. I have worked with an array of issues not limited to family conflict, relationship issues, communication, drugs and alcohol, anger, stress, coping skills and many other life issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a modality that I primarily work with and at times borrowing from other modalities when it is fit. My goal is to build a real, raw and positive relationship while being compassionate and empathetic. I will be sensitive but also direct in efforts to help you find solutions to your current and/or past issues. I also believe that incorporating the use coping skills, boundaries and communication will increase quality of life as well as the quality of relationships. I believe all interactions are the beginning of potential flourishing relationships. With that said, I think that as we grow in counselor and client relationship , this very relationship will better help you with your relationships with family, friends and co-workers. I am excited to meet you and to work with you as you learn new ways to live your very best life! Thank you for letting me be a part of your journey. Additional info: I prefer to do video sessions as we are able to see each other face to face and I am able to pick up on ques that are important in therapy. I am not opposed to live chat or phone call when video is not available but prefer video. If you the time that you need to meet is not available, please message me so I can accommodate you.

Hi and welcome to BetterHelp! I am so glad you took this step to reach out. You may be a little scared or not know what to expect. Allow me to introduce myself and what this experience might be like for you. My name is Tammy Kirschner and I have been a licensed psychologist since 1992. I have been providing therapy for 30 years and throughout my career, I have worked with clients experiencing acute or chronic depression, anxiety, relationship problems, family issues, low self-esteem, eating disorders, self-injurious behaviors and those who are in the midst of life's many transitions. I have also worked as a career consultant for both small and large organizations, helping individuals write resumes and teach job search skills. Right now, you may be feeling low, depressed, anxious, fearful or just plain "stuck". Your head may be spinning and you might be totally overwhelmed by so many thoughts and emotions. Or perhaps you just need someone who you can vent to, someone who will listen, support and guide you. Or maybe it is one of those times in life when too many challenges are converging at one time and you don't know what to do first. Whatever the case may be, please know that you are no longer alone. You've taken a very wise step in reaching out and together we can figure out what your needs are, what your goals are - even if they just are to feel better. How is this done? I provide support and validation, as I believe that these are the bedrocks of forming a good therapeutic relationship. I also use CBT, DBT, Behavioral Therapies, supportive therapy, motivational interviewing and solution-based interventions to help people make decisions. I have worked in a variety of environments include college counseling centers, outpatient clinics for anxiety and/or phobias, eating disorder groups, inpatient psychiatric hospitals and I have maintained a private practice. I am a warm, nonjudgmental and supportive therapist and do not believe that any one type of intervention will help every person with every problem. Most importantly, I strongly believe that the therapeutic relationship should be collaborative, and work with my clients as a team. I tend to be a creative brainstormer, believe that sometimes, laughter is the best medicine, and I take a pretty active and proactive approach to therapy. Together, we can organize your thoughts and work with whatever is feeling so overwhelming right now. I look forward to working with you and help support, guide and help you develop coping mechanisms that you can then use throughout your life. Let's get started!
