Message from Therapist

I am a Clinical Psychologist with a Teletherapy private practice serving women clients throughout Washington State. I offer psychotherapy for women at any phase of life who are interested in making meaning of their experiences, past or present, in the context of womanhood. I believe that our Catholic faith offers a beautiful and potent vision of woman's genius and calling. But I also know that it can be difficult to find helping professionals with the knowledge and sensibility to support Catholic women who are striving to live according to Church teaching.

I can assist Catholic women clients in exploring the following, and more, all from a Catholic perspective:

• The nature of womanhood

• Self-esteem and life purpose

• Dating and marriage

• Reproductive experiences, including NFP, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, all forms of perinatal loss, and fertility struggles

• Motherhood, family, and domestic life

• Spiritual development 

• Traumas of body and soul, particularly grief and regret regarding the treatment of one's sexuality and/or fertility

• Experiences of conversion and reversion

I believe that woman-to-woman support serves a special, fruitful function in women's development and healing, and I am passionate about offering such support to my clients. Let me help you find your way to a faithful, nourished, and joyful life!

Bio:
I hold a B.A. in English literature and psychology as well as an M.A. and Ph.D. (2016) in clinical psychology from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. As is true of many people who pursue psychotherapy training, I felt a need to study questions of human motivation, behavior, and relationships in order to discern my path forward in life. My graduate program emphasized the value in learning about the philosophical foundations and sociohistorical contexts in which psychology and psychotherapy emerged. As students immersed in psychoanalysis, existential-phenomenology, and humanistic psychology, we spent a lot of time discussing the “why” behind theory, research, and practice, as well as the mysteries in how psychological healing occurs. I learned to think critically about the assumptions that the psyche-helping professions make about the human person. I carry forward this curious and questioning sensibility in my work as a psychotherapist. 

Over the years, I have trained and worked in various settings, including college counseling centers, a community clinic, and an inpatient unit, and I have served as an independently contracted psychologist with the Nooksack Indian Tribe. I also have taught undergraduate courses in psychology. I started my private practice in 2018 with the desire to form more autonomous and intentional professional relationships. I have been practicing psychotherapy for fourteen years in total.

In addition to my professional education and experience, my own personal experience with various therapists and kinds of therapy has served as a central part of my maturation as a psychotherapist. In my early thirties, I worked with an elder female Jungian analyst who confronted me with the psychological need of consciously facing the questions of my fertile years. I was struck by how my earlier therapy work, both personal and professional, generally had overlooked the bodily considerations unique to women’s development. I changed my own life and deepened my commitment to serving women clients. 

Growing up in Western Pennsylvania, I was blessed with grandparents who all lived into my adulthood, three out of four of whom were raised in immigrant households. Their stories of ethnicity, community, faith, sacrifice, and service during the Great Depression and WWII formed a repository of familial-historical memory that I feel lucky to carry with me. Though my life has included periods of wandering, I am rooted in their example. As I entered adolescence and young adulthood and began to explore human nature in earnest myself, I spent a lot of time training and performing as a classical singer and steeping in a love of opera. I have learned so much about the human heart through the vulnerability and power of singing. My Catholic religious inheritance—from Italian, Eastern-European, and Irish ancestors—offered me another foundational resource for exploration of the human person. In the Catholic Church I receive my sense of wonder and belonging, especially through the majesty of her Mass, the sweetness and diversity of her popular piety, and the dignity of her veneration of the Blessed Mother. This lifelong involvement with the ancestral, the artistic, and the devotional offers inspiration and particularity to my therapeutic presence, beyond my conventional training. I am also a wife, mother, and revert to the faith who knows what it's like to get lost and come back home.

More About Camille Cornell, Ph.D

As a Clinical Psychologist, I have training and experience in a broad range of therapy approaches. Generally, I find that what works best is an individualized approach involving trust building, careful listening, compassionate reflection, moments of incisive interruption, and even a dose of humor! Ultimately, I aim to help clients feel, articulate, and address the deeper "why" of their distress.

I offer an initial phone consultation, up to 30 minutes, free of charge.
