About Dr. Sandra Cortina

 

HELLO!

 

Thank you for checking out my website. If you are here, you

have made the first step toward changing your life.

 

My therapy style is primarily cognitive-behavioral and I focus on empowerment.  Everyone has it in them to make great change;s. At times ,we just need someone to teach us the skills to  develop hope again.

 

I received my Ph.D. from the University of Iowa. Later, I spent  two years in a behavioral child health fellowship that brought me to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.

 

I spent nearly a decade at Children's Hospital creating my own integrated clinical-research service using cutting edge techniques in therapy and published A LOT of research about the best ways to create mentally and physically healthy teens and  families. I've treated everything you can imagine from anxiety and depression to medical conditions I can't even prnounce. I took everyrhing I learned from workng withfamilies and used it to help build a strong training program for psychology students, medical staff, and mental health professionals. 

 

I love what I do and would be honored to help guide you, your family, or your company in a new positive direction.
