Hi, I'm Corinne.
I'm a licensed psychologist and advocate who helps people shed the old patterns controlling their thoughts, beliefs, actions, and sense of self — so the strengths those patterns have been hiding can finally do the work.
Therapy built around who you actually are
My therapeutic approach is highly personalized, designed to fit the unique circumstances and needs of each person I work with. Together we focus on deepening self-awareness, understanding how you interact with the people around you, and harnessing your own strengths to grow and improve your quality of life.
In my practice, I aim to create a supportive, nurturing environment where you feel safe and understood. My goal is to work collaboratively with you to identify and tackle the personal, emotional, and relational issues getting in the way of your life. Whether you're dealing with something specific or simply want to feel better day to day, I'm here to help you get there.
Dr. Corinne Votaw-Freer, PsyD (She/Her)
I have spent my career supporting trauma survivors and marginalized communities. That work began in the intimate partner violence and domestic violence (IPV/DV) field, where I consulted for District Attorneys and Attorneys General on survivor outreach and the prosecution of offenders, served as Outreach Director for The Truth Against Tobacco campaign, and advised leaders at the local, state, national, and international levels on healthcare policy. That work led me into psychology, where I now practice as a researcher, writer, and licensed psychologist.
In my more recent work, I've collaborated with organizations that provide housing and support to queer-identified homeless youth, and advocated for gender equity.
Through extensive research in the social, biological, and psychological facets of gender, I've designed and led training programs for community leaders, healthcare providers, religious figures, and business executives, helping them build affirming and supportive environments within their own organizations.
