Dr. Courtney Corrado, PsyD - Existential Psychotherapy in California and Illinois

RECONNECT. FIND DIRECTION. LIVE INTENTIONALLY.
​​​
Whether you're facing a specific challenge or seeking personal growth, I'm here to provide a supportive space to explore what matters to you. Together, we'll work toward clarity, understanding, and meaningful lasting change.
​
​I’m a Licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in Online Existential Psychotherapy in California and Illinois with over 15 years of experience.
​
Welcome, I'm Glad You're Here!
​
My approach is anchored in existential theory, incorporating elements from humanistic and positive psychology. I also specialize in working with highly motivated individuals who, despite outward success, struggle with a sense of deeper meaning and inner fulfillment, an experience I explore through my theory of Dynamic Stagnation.​​​​
