Hello!

My clinical areas of specialty and expertise include anxiety, depression, ADHD, family dynamics, social/relationship challenges, and academic and life transitions.
Navigating mental health can be intimidating, confusing, and exhausting. I commend you for taking the first steps and am here to support you along the way. Therapy is not one-size fits all— my approach is culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, and collaborative to prioritize each client's specific needs.

I value your feedback to make sure we are working towards your goals. I hope to create a space that is warm, inviting, and celebrates your authentic self.

Your story deserves to be heard. Together we will learn to embrace change and work towards achieving your mental health goals. I look forward to accompanying you on the continual journey for self empowerment.
I am so happy you are here! Starting therapy can be difficult, but you have already taken the first step! In my last 7+ years as a therapist, I have worked with teens and young adults who are experiencing anxiety, stress, and depression due to life transitions and/or trauma. In our first session, you will have the opportunity to share your story and we will work together to set realistic goals to meet your needs.
Hi, I’m Christina Cornejo, LCSW. I’ve been providing therapy for about eight years, and my passion lies in supporting young adults who are navigating the overwhelming transition into adulthood. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or even unsure, my goal is to help you feel more grounded and confident in who you are becoming. I believe in meeting you where you are offering a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can be honest, feel heard, and grow at your own pace. Therapy isn’t about having it all figured out; it’s about having someone walk with you as you discover your path. My practice focuses on breaking intergenerational patterns, strengthening communication, and untangling the internal conflicts that arise when you’re stepping from teens to adulthood, or into a new life transition such as a school, relationship, and/or job. Let's work on discovering yourself. I understand the pressure that can come from school, family expectations, and trying to figure out who you are in a world that doesn’t always reflect your experience. My passion is helping you recognize and unlearn harmful patterns so you can start to redefine yourself on your own terms.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or facing a difficult moment in life, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I work with individuals and couples to better understand what’s happening beneath the surface and move toward healthier relationships, greater stability, and a stronger sense of self. My approach is collaborative, practical, and compassionate, focusing on identifying patterns, building effective coping skills, and creating meaningful, lasting change. I provide a safe, structured space to work through anxiety, life transitions, relational challenges, and periods of emotional crisis or acute stress.
Many of the people we work with are thoughtful, caring, and capable individuals who feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. They may be struggling with anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, burnout, self-doubt, identity questions, or feeling overwhelmed by the expectations they place on themselves. Some students come to therapy because they’re facing a specific challenge. Others simply want a better understanding of themselves and why they think, feel, or react the way they do. Whether you’re navigating college life, relationships, family dynamics, career decisions, or personal growth, we aim to provide a space that feels supportive, thoughtful, and genuine. Our approach combines practical tools with deeper self-reflection, helping you build insight, develop healthier patterns, and take meaningful steps toward the life you want to create.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I specialize in working with adults (18+) experiencing issues with anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, relationships, couples and family dynamics, stress management, and more. I believe therapy should be a collaborative process that empowers you to better understand yourself, strengthen your emotional resilience, improve your communication, and foster healthier relationships as you work toward your personal goals. That same commitment to trust, compassion, and collaboration allows me to be a supportive, understanding partner in your healing journey. I look forward to helping you gain insight, develop effective coping strategies, and create meaningful change as we work together toward your goals. I'm passionate about helping you break through barriers, build your emotional resilience, and develop the confidence to create a more fulfilling life. That passion shows up in an approach that's empathetic, strengths-based, and solution-focused, combining evidence-based interventions with genuine connection and understanding. Together, we'll build a safe, collaborative environment tailored to your individual story, needs, and goals, where you can explore your experiences with curiosity and honesty. To help you get there, I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and cognitive restructuring, helping you gain insight, improve your emotional regulation, and build healthier ways of navigating life's challenges while ensuring a warm, encouraging, and authentic style. My journey as a therapist began with recognizing the importance of having a space where people can process their experiences, gain clarity, and feel supported without judgment. This perspective strengthened my commitment to providing compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each patient's unique needs and goals. Today, I bring warmth, authenticity, and a collaborative approach to each session, helping you navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and move toward a more fulfilling life. When I'm not in session, I enjoy spending quality time with my fur baby, Bella J (proud #dogmom), traveling, exploring new experiences, and connecting with new people. I love learning about different perspectives, discovering new places, and embracing opportunities for growth and connection.

Therapy is a space to untangle patterns, fears, and old narratives so you can decide what actually serves you. I'm a doctorally-trained, licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C) who works with adolescents and adults through depression, anxiety, trauma, OCD, life transitions and relationship struggles. Together we'll trace what's been keeping you stuck, work through experiences that still weigh on you, and build tools you can use in your daily life, so you feel steadier, clearer, and more yourself. Every process is shaped around your individual preferences and needs. I draw on evidence-based approaches with strong track records for lasting change, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD; which ones we lean on depends on what you're working toward. What stays steady through all of it is a grounded space where you set the pace, receive guidance shaped to your circumstances, learn to trust your own judgment again, and start living by your own design. I see clients in person at my Bethesda, MD office and online across Maryland, Virginia, Vermont, Colorado, and Washington, DC. If any of this resonates, please reach out. I'd be glad to hear what's on your mind and find out whether we're the right fit.
Anxiety can be a controlling force that keeps us from living the lives we want. I work with adults struggling with anxiety; which can look like excessive worry, self-critical thoughts, or struggling with life change. I help people acknowledge and process anxiety in a safe space at their own pace. My passion is to help people become unglued from anxiety so that they can live meaningful lives; lives that are inspired by their values and the people they care about. I utilize EMDR and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people get unstuck from their difficulties so they live the lives they want to live. Together, we'll practice methods to help you get unstuck from anxiety while also exploring ways you can engage with the things that make life meaningful like your family, friends, or your values. Deciding to pursue therapy can be a scary choice, but it can also be the choice that helps you become the person you know you can be. I want to journey with you to help you reach your full potential. If you are ready to embark on this journey, feel free to reach out. I can't wait to meet you!

While each individual's experience is unique, I regularly work with clients around topics related to anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts, relationship concerns, sexuality, ADHD, life's transitions, familial conflict and many more. In this busy world, it can be difficult to make time to focus on your needs. Therapy provides a space to do so and share your story in a safe and non judgmental environment.
