Areas of Specialty

While at a first glance Anxiety & Anxiety-Related Disorders, Chronic Pain, and Sports & Performance may seem to be entirely different, but their optimal functioning represents an efficient mind-body connection. To improve them, they all require increasing stress tolerance, adaptability, stress management, self-regulation, exposures, and the effectiveness of relaxation and recovery processes.

Anxiety & Anxiety-Related Disorders:

Our goal is to help you become more comfortable with the uncomfortable and to disrupt negative feedback loops and cycles that maintain distress and/or functional issues. The stressful things we avoid often cause prolonged suffering, create functional limitations, and negatively impact us despite our efforts to ignore them. Change is hard, but is needed to improve the ability to be more adaptive, to increase resilience, and to build a stronger mind-body connection.

Chronic Pain Management:

It’s time to retake control of your life. When your pain is in the driver’s seat, it can feel like your pain gets to make all of your decisions.

It is not easy to find a way forward, and it does take time and hard work to re-wire your Central Nervous System (CNS). Luckily, your body is extremely resilient and adaptable. Correnti Psychology can help you strengthen your ability to cope with the daily setbacks, regulate your emotional and physical experience, and improve your Pacing Strategies. In addition, we can enhance the effectiveness of your relaxation strategies that, combined with your other new skills, will put you on a path to live the life that you hope for.
