Our Story

Cornell & Associates is the private practice of Andrea Cornell, LMFT. Andrea provides thoughtful, relationship-centered therapy that is personalized to each client’s unique experiences, strengths, and goals. She believes meaningful change happens within a safe, collaborative therapeutic relationship where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and confidence.

Originally established as a group practice in New York, Cornell & Associates has thoughtfully evolved into a solo private practice, allowing Andrea to offer a more personalized and intentional therapeutic experience. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Andrea relocated to California, expanding the practice into a bi-coastal model that serves clients in both California and New York.

Today, Andrea offers in-person therapy in San Diego, California, along with secure virtual therapy for clients throughout California and New York. This flexibility allows clients to maintain continuity of care through life transitions, relocations, changing schedules, and evolving needs while preserving the depth and connection that are central to the therapeutic process.

Whether meeting in person or virtually, Andrea’s work remains grounded in a relationship-centered approach that emphasizes insight, emotional regulation, resilience, and meaningful, lasting growth.
