Corina Bair
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
If you have trouble managing your thoughts (such as spiraling, racing, overwhelming, blanking out, getting stuck, ruminating, trouble communicating, etc) we can fix it! I have years of experience working with teens, young and middle-aged adults in learning how to change and manage their thought process, and we can tailor each counseling session to your specific needs and goals. Assisting my clients with building insight and understanding into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors is an essential part of my therapy practice, and I provide evidence-based practice tools that you can use outside of therapy as well. ~~~ Just to make it clear: BLM. Protect the dolls. FDT. Free Palestine & Sudan. F the patriarchy/capitalism. Sex + Body Positive. ~~~
I am passionate about providing a safe, compassionate, and welcoming therapy space where you can be open about your thoughts so we can work through them together. Click that contact button and we can schedule a free consultation call today!

John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, MACP LPCC LMFT
The mind is an incredible, mysterious instrument. The billions of calculations, and interpretations is simply ungraspable. Thats said, sometimes things just jump rail, and misfire. I work with clients to both figure out what the problem is, how to change it, or perhaps live with it more compassionately. My background in Neuropsychology and Mindfullness makes a powerful duo for those wishing to walk into this therapeutic relationship.

Thinking Disorders can also include disorganized thinking, difficulties in concentration which limits one's ability to think clearly and logically. This disfunction can also include changes in behaviors, withdrawals, isolation, also avoiding social interactions with society as there are often false beliefs, while resistant to evidence of reasoning.

When Your Mind Won’t Turn Off
Do you ever feel trapped inside your own head — overanalyzing every detail, questioning every decision, or worrying endlessly about what might happen next? Maybe your thoughts move so fast you can’t rest, or so repetitively that you feel stuck in mental quicksand. When your mind is constantly racing or looping, it’s not a sign of weakness — it’s your brain’s way of trying (and failing) to solve a problem it can’t control. Over time, that mental overload can create anxiety, irritability, insomnia, and exhaustion.
In therapy, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT to help you slow down, organize, and retrain your thinking patterns. Together, we’ll:
Learn to recognize the difference between helpful problem-solving and mental spinning
Use tools to calm racing thoughts and reduce rumination
Build cognitive flexibility so your brain can shift gears more easily
Strengthen your ability to focus, rest, and stay present
Use neuroscience-based techniques to reset overactive “threat” and “worry” circuits
You’ll leave sessions with practical tools you can use daily to quiet your mind, sleep more deeply, and think more clearly. Relief doesn’t come from forcing your thoughts to stop — it comes from changing how you relate to them.
I BELIEVE:
You are not your thoughts — and your thoughts are not always the truth.
A racing mind is a sign of an overprotective brain, not a broken one.
Calm isn’t something you “find”; it’s something you train your brain to return to.
You can learn to live with your mind, not against it.
Clarity, rest, and focus are skills — and they can be learned.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach
