Hi, I’m Dr. Cortnie S. Baity, LMFT

Take a deep breath.

Exhale.

Let it go.

Embrace the new.

You deserve the change you desire.

I’m grateful that you have made it this far and you are taking the next step on your journey toward a better tomorrow. I understand how difficult it is to search for a therapist, consultant, educator, and adv0cate that is a good fit—one who is relatable and can really feel where you or your audience is coming from. With my personal, spiritual, empirical, and clinical wisdom, I will work to assist you in creating growth and clarity either in your individual life, your relationships, and/or company. To do this, I create a space of safety and non-judgement, enabling you to feel comfortable enough to tell your story without omissions, gaining practical advice to help you start taking steps forward toward your goals. I love working with people who are committed to their healing journey and open to change. I would be honored to work with you on creating the changes you seek to achieve.

Embrace change to better understand and channel your emotions, create and maintain healthy relationships and gain real tools and skills to improve the joy in your life.

Discover new ways to take control of your life, deal with your emotions, and better connect yourself and others.

It’s time to try something different. Therapy is not just for those in crisis or with severe mental health conditions, it for any and everyone who values having support. If you are ready to get started on a new journey of you, click

Family Therapy

Family therapy is an approach in which a therapist works with whole family systems and subsystems (like siblings or parents) to identify obstacles, deepen family members’ understanding of the presenting issue(s), create effective strategies for working towards their family relationship goals, and empower them to apply what is learned in therapy outside of the therapy session. Most families who seek my help struggle with healing, navigating, and coping with communication, relationship strain, forgiveness, finances, parenting, and family planning.
