I am Trina Cornelison, first and foremost a human being, just like you, who has had to find my way through the difficulties of life. I have had the privilege of helping clients along their healing journeys for over 15 years. I am a licensed therapist in South Carolina, North Carolina and Florida. I support adults through life's challenges with a trauma-informed, mind-body approach

Have you been trying to find the root cause of your symptoms? Are you stuck repeating the same old habits and patterns and don't know what to do? Is anxiety, stress, depression and trauma weighing you down and you just want to feel better? You are in the right place! My approach to therapy is eclectic, using a variety of techniques to meet your needs. You will not only learn why you are the way you are but gain effective and transformative skills to calm the nervous system, release negative thoughts and feelings and finally see significant change in your behavior. Supporting clients to THRIVE, not just survive is my specialty. I have been in the mental health field for over 30 years in various levels of care and in private practice for over 18.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (with 21 years of medical experience) specializing in grief, trauma, life transitions, and the emotional impact of medical emergencies on individuals, families. As a counselor, I provide a safe, steady space to process what you’ve been through, make sense of the pain, and begin healing at your own pace—so you can reconnect with yourself, restore meaning, and move forward with greater clarity, strength, and hope.

I have been practicing as a licensed therapist for 10 years and specialize in helping people reclaim their lives by healing from the pain of trauma, anxiety, and depression. I am trained as a clinical mental health counselor with additional specializations in play therapy and trauma focused work. I work with all populations from preteen into adulthood.

I became a therapist because I saw resilience in the most unlikely places. My foundation is in correctional and community mental health work — settings where people are often written off, where hope is in short supply, and where the work of healing matters most. That experience shaped how I practice: with zero judgment, complete presence, and an unwavering belief in people's capacity to change.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma, serving adolescents and adults in Horry County and across South Carolina. As a Black female therapist, I bring cultural awareness and lived experience to the work — creating a space where you don't have to explain yourself before we can begin.

I often remind my clients: You are still here. That is proof your story isn't over.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW/LISW‐CP) with more than 16 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, families, and high‐stress professionals. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of South Carolina with a concentration in Individuals, Families, and Groups. I later completed a Play Therapist Training Program at Old Dominion University Norfolk, Virginia, and I am a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor (RPT‐S).

My career has been rooted in service, leadership, trauma informed care and crisis‐responsive care. Across these roles, I’ve provided therapy, crisis intervention, diagnostic assessments, supervision, and program oversight. I’ve supported individuals navigating PTSD, anxiety, depression, burnout, family conflict, trauma histories, and major life transitions.

My background allows me to understand both the clinical and human sides of stress, trauma, and resilience.
