Dr. Corena is licensed as a Clinical Psychologist and as a Marriage and Family Therapist. He has many years of experience providing individual, group, and family therapy in multiple settings. Additionally, he provides supervision to interns and licensed clinicians, conducts parenting classes, and presents workshops on psychological-related issues.
