Meet Corinne
Corinne Tucker, MA, LMHC
I am passionate about the overlapping spheres of mental & emotional health, racial justice, and my Christian faith. Outside of work, I love paddle boarding, playing sand volleyball, spending time with friends, and attempting to learn how to garden.
Education
My undergraduate degree is a Bachelor of Arts in English from the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, VA. I studied literature, history, culture, and character formation with the same curiosity that fuels my work as a counselor: the fascination with the inner experiences of human beings as formed by and active agents in forming the societies around them.
I graduated from the Master’s of Arts in Counseling program at Reformed Theological Seminary - Orlando.
Work experience
Prior to entering the counseling field, I worked for a non-profit organization offering after-school programs for urban youth. I also served on staff with a church plant in Richmond, Virginia, for seven years. Following graduation from RTS, I worked for a program that provides free mental health services to students at the local public school, before shifting into full-time private practice.
As a counselor, I find joy in helping people become more substantive as they reclaim their inherent dignity, identity, and aliveness. I think of counseling work as similar to gardening, in that much of the work looks like preparing good soil by removing the lies formed by traumatic experiences, clearing out stones that block natural growth, and accessing the heart-nutrients like truth and love. Fortunately, I’m much better at counseling than I am at growing vegetables.
