About Clarissa Peña-Corthell

Hello and welcome.

I want to take a moment to share a bit about my journey with you.

Life has thrown its curveballs – after an accident ended my dancing dreams, I experienced firsthand what it’s like to lose something you love dearly.

However, growing up in the South, my Christian roots have shaped who I am today, guiding me toward a deeper sense of spirituality.

Outside of my work as a therapist

Having been a single mom, I’ve walked the challenging path of raising children on my own, feeling both the joys and burdens that come with it.

My heart knows the weight of having someone you love deployed; as the proud mother of a son in the military, I’ve felt that heavy worry and longing all too well.

Family is at the heart of everything I do, and this journey has taught me how to embrace motherhood and how it evolves over time. Whether it’s enjoying nature together or simply cherishing our moments at home, these experiences ground me.

I’m passionate about personal growth

I believe that investing in ourselves opens doors to new possibilities and deeper connections.

I also find joy in exploring life’s bigger picture and setting intentions for what truly matters to me. It’s this commitment to growth and self-discovery that fuels my desire to support others on their journeys.

I’m here, not just as your therapist, but as someone who genuinely cares and understands your path. Together, we can navigate through life’s challenges with compassion and support.
