About Corina Istanich

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.

“Me ayudó a entender muchas cosas en mi vida y a enfocarme en mis metas”

“I love her so much. She has been a trusted advisor in bettering myself.”

“Wonderful!”

“Amazing therapist. Always give you assignments to work on after sessions.”

“Corina really understands my situation and I have found my sessions to be extremely beneficial. She is compassionate, and kind and I love that she is a believer in Christ as she supports what she says with Gods word. I would most certainly recommend Corina to anyone seeking therapy.”

“Corina is amazing at what she does as a therapist. There is union, empathy, and passion all in one toward her approach. Also having a relationship with God provided me a better understanding of how to navigate through my own personal adversity while seeking to develop a relationship with Him myself. I would recommend her definitely to anybody that is lacking spiritual attention from God, family trauma, and relationship complications. 100/10”

“I truly look forward to speaking with Corina. Her perspective is knowledgeable and relatable. Her personality is down to earth. I like how she makes me question my own thoughts to help me find and get rid of the negative beliefs that keep me stuck in patterns. I like it when she readjusts herself in her chair because I know another “aha moment” is going to occur for me. I am grateful for the self-disclosure that she provides because it displays her empathetic and compassionate nature. As a therapist, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, daughter, sister, sister-in-law, and aunt, I value participating in psychotherapy with Corina because she is helping me be the best version of myself for God and everyone that is in my life.”

“As a therapist myself, I truly stand by the statement that Corina is exceptional! She has a high standard for her work quality, can relate to her clients, and is faith-driven if you do desire that area of care. She lets her personality shine through her sessions and makes speaking to her effortless. She is clear on her direction and will help you brain storm if needed. :) I am grateful for her services.”

“Corina is awesome. She takes her time to understand my problems and help me address them appropriately.”

“She is a grea6 lister and injects great experience and recommendations on possible course of actions to rectify every situation.”

“Finally a down to earth therapist that is actually understanding and helpful!”

“Incredible first experience”

“Corina is super easy to talk to and really seems to understand mine and my husband’s needs for therapy. So glad she was matched to us.”

“I have never been to therapy before. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I went into it with an open mind. It's been 4 weeks and I can honestly say I really look forward to our sessions. Corina is a a great listener, gives sound rational feedback and is helping provide tools to assist me through the tough times. ♡”

“She is a real person.”
