Hello everyone! My name is Corbin Casalenda (she/her). I have experience in the chemical dependency and criminal justice fields, and I've worked closely with the HIV+ and LGBTQ+ communities. My personal and professional values are deeply rooted in harm reduction, abolitionism, anti-oppressive practices, intersectional feminism, and fat liberation.

As a queer, cisgender therapist, I am passionate about supporting individuals who are exploring their sexuality and/or gender. My other professional interests include anxiety, self-esteem, body image, deconstructing religious experiences/trauma, and exploring intimacy and attachment.

In my free time, I enjoy grounding myself in nature, playing with my two cats, listening to my vinyl collection, thrifting, and watching reality television.
