"Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength."
Corinne Bloom offers clients a collaborative, individualized place to better understand themselves and navigate life’s challenges. Corinne believes that therapy should be tailored to each client’s unique experiences and goals. She works to provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can safely explore their inner world and build greater self-awareness, resilience, and confidence.
Corinne is passionate about helping clients create meaningful and lasting change. She supports people as they build insight, challenge unhelpful patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, and move through life transitions with greater confidence. Her work is grounded in respect, authenticity, and the belief that vulnerability can become a place where strength and growth begin.
Corinne’s therapeutic approach is integrative and draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and trauma-informed care. She adapts these approaches to the client, rather than expecting every person to respond to the same kind of counseling.
CBT can help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and behavioral patterns that contribute to emotional distress. Through this work, clients can develop practical coping strategies and create healthier patterns of thinking, feeling, and responding. DBT adds skills related to emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness, helping clients manage overwhelming emotions while balancing acceptance and change.
Psychodynamic Therapy allows clients to increase insight into unconscious patterns, past experiences, and relationship dynamics that may affect present-day emotions, behaviors, and relationships. Corinne also incorporates a trauma-informed lens into her work and is trained in the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics, a developmentally sensitive and neurobiology-informed approach to understanding and treating trauma.
Clients can expect Corinne to approach therapy with empathy, curiosity, and thoughtful attention to their goals. Sessions may involve exploring emotions, identifying patterns, practicing coping tools, strengthening communication, or working through grief, transitions, or relational stress.
Corinne values authentic therapeutic relationships. She feels honored to walk alongside clients during difficult and transformative periods, helping them recognize their strengths, navigate vulnerability, and experience healing at a pace that feels respectful and sustainable.
Corinne earned her Master’s degree in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago. She is a Licensed Social Worker with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and has experience working with adults in private practice settings.
Before becoming a therapist, Corinne worked in consulting. This background gives her additional insight into workplace stress, perfectionism, high-achievement environments, and career-related transitions. In her free time, she enjoys traveling, cooking, and spending quality time with friends and family. Corinne’s professional and personal experiences support her ability to understand clients who feel pressure to perform, hold everything together, or manage change while also wanting more balance, connection, and self-trust. Her counseling work invites clients to slow down, notice what they need, and build tools that support both insight and action. For clients who feel overwhelmed by expectations, relationships, or transition, Corinne’s approach offers room to understand the pressure and practice steadier ways of responding.
