Dana Corrigan
Registered Provisional Psychologist
MACP, BA (Psychology)
Sometimes people feel caught in the same patterns, facing the same challenges, and not feeling as connected or fulfilled as they want to be. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, low mood, relationship issues, addictive behaviors, or a general sense that something isn’t working, I can help you explore what’s getting in the way and finding a new path forward.
My approach is both practical and compassionate. I work collaboratively to look beneath the surface at what’s driving your struggles, help you clarify your goals, and develop tools that support meaningful, lasting change. I will help you gain insight while staying grounded by taking practical steps that will help you move forward.
I also work with couples using the Gottman Method to provide practical, research-based exercises that will strengthen your relationship. I help partners recognize and resolve the emotional patterns that fuel disconnection and conflict, and support them in building trust, improving communication, and deepening emotional intimacy. The goal is to move from feeling disconnected to feeling like a team.

More than just my work:
I have a creative mind that I express by making music and creative writing. I also enjoy consuming literature, movies, and visual arts. Following narratives and creative expression helps me learn more about human experience and is invaluable in my work as a therapist. I also practice daily mindfulness through meditation and yoga.
