Dr Cornella is a fantastic therapist who is capable of speaking to the science based point of view and the spiritual point of view without pushing one of the other. My sessions with her always unlock a new way of solving a problem - sometimes a problem I havent even identified yet. She's been a revelation in helping me navigate a very extreme career change all while helping me also process some very challenging family issues at the same time. I would not been able to stay on the path I am without her attentive ear and timely guidance.

Dr. Kathryn Cornella is a skilled and compassionate therapist. I began working with her during a period of grief and depression while being a caregiver for an aging parent. During an overwhelming time, she helped me to find joy in my life again. Shortly after doing sessions with her, I started to grow in my confidence. She helped me understand how to prioritize my self-care between sessions, which improved my quality of life. She is kind, and her passion for helping others shows. Her approach is gentle and intuitive. After just a few sessions, I felt like I was looking forward to life again.

Absolutely amazing woman! Very excited and grateful to be able to work with her. I've been in and out of therapy my entire life and she is truly the best that I've had the pleasure to bare my soul to. Each time you meet, you'll feel like the those struggles you've been having may not actually be so big and intimidating. Very upbeat and connects through knowledge and personal experience. She's not talking from a text book, but definitely knows what she is talking about. If you are fortunate enough to be able to book her, quit reading this and go do it!!! I promise you won't be disappointed. I'm blessed to have her.

I have been searching for a psychologist like Dr. Kathryn Cornella for a long time, and I am incredibly grateful to have found her. In just nine sessions, Dr. Cornella has demonstrated an exceptional ability to quickly understand me and thoughtfully redirect my thinking in ways that have led to meaningful, positive changes in my life.
I began working with her during an acute flare of my autoimmune condition, a time when my mental symptoms were particularly debilitating. During this period, Dr. Cornella provided steady, compassionate guidance and helped me navigate heightened anxiety-especially work-related stress that I am typically able to manage on my own. Her support during this challenging time made a significant difference.
Dr. Cornella is caring, intelligent, and pragmatic, and she brings a rare balance of empathy and actionable insight to her work. BetterHelp is fortunate to have a psychologist of her caliber on its platform. I look forward to continuing my work with Dr. Cornella for many years to come as I continue learning how to live well with my autoimmune condition.

I am so deeply grateful for Dr. Cornella. I wasn’t sure what to expect from getting therapy from an “app” but because of the matching process it was spot on. I strongly recommend giving it a try. It’s so convenient and beyond helpful.
