About Dr. Corinne Scholtz, LMFT

Hi, I’m Dr. Corinne Scholtz. I offer a calm, supportive space where individuals and couples can slow down, feel understood, and begin making sense of what they’re experiencing both within themselves and in their relationships. When life feels overwhelming or patterns feel hard to shift, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

I’ve dedicated my career to helping people move through emotional challenges with care, clarity, and compassion. Based in Fort Lauderdale, I work with clients facing the unique stresses of modern life, relationships, and transitions, offering thoughtful, evidence-based therapy that supports meaningful and lasting change.

My Background and Training

I earned my Ph.D. in Marriage and Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University and have been in private practice since 2011. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals and couples who arrive feeling stuck, uncertain, emotionally disconnected, or caught in patterns they don’t know how to shift. Others come in feeling ready for deeper personal work and meaningful, lasting change.

What continues to guide my work is witnessing how therapy – when it feels safe, attuned, and relational – can help people move toward clarity, relief, and a stronger sense of self. As a licensed marriage and family therapist based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, I offer steady, thoughtful support for a wide range of emotional and relational challenges, always meeting clients where they are.

In addition to traditional talk therapy, I’ve completed training in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) through Fluence and collaborate with Journey Clinical to offer this innovative, evidence-based approach. Ketamine-assisted therapy may be helpful for individuals or couples experiencing depression, anxiety, or trauma who are seeking alternative or integrative paths to healing. Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy is available online and in person in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

How I Can Help

My approach to therapy is holistic and relational. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I work with you as a whole person – your emotions, relationships, nervous system, and inner experience – helping you reconnect with what truly matters.

Here are some of the ways I support clients:

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy: If you’ve tried traditional treatments for anxiety, depression, or trauma and still feel stuck, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy may offer a different way forward. I provide a safe, supportive, and intentional therapeutic environment where we prepare for, explore, and integrate ketamine experiences, helping you access deeper insight and emotional healing. KAP is available through online therapy or in-person sessions in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

Couples Therapy: Relationships can be deeply meaningful and deeply challenging. If you and your partner are struggling with communication, emotional distance, recurring conflict, or the impact of past betrayals, couples therapy can help you find your way back to one another. As a marriage and family therapist in Fort Lauderdale, I help couples understand their relational patterns, rebuild trust, and create greater emotional safety and intimacy.

Individual Therapy for Self-Growth:If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, angry, disconnected from yourself, or unsure how to move forward, individual therapy can provide clarity and support. Together, we’ll explore your inner world, identify patterns that no longer serve you, and create meaningful change at a pace that feels right. I offer individual counseling through online therapy and in-person therapy in Fort Lauderdale, FL, tailored to your unique needs and goals.

Solution Oriented & Emotionally Focused

Many clients come to therapy not realizing that it’s the patterns, habits, and cycles that keep us in distressing conversations and feelings with those we love. We spend time exploring your unique relational cycle or patterned ways of responding to triggers. This also supports our belief that ‘the person isn’t the problem, the problem is the problem’. In other words, working as a team to address problems tends to be much more effective than working through them alone. Even in individual therapy, changing your approach or making a small change can change the entire pattern!

Through each online therapy or in-person therapy session, you can learn to:

Attain a better understanding of yourself, your goals, and your values
Develop skills for improving your relationships
Find resolution to the issues or concerns that led you to seek therapy
Learn new ways to cope with stress, anxiety, and other mental health issues
Build effective coping skills for managing life’s challenges
Improve communication and listening skills
Change old behavior patterns and develop new ones
Discover new ways to solve problems in your family or marriage
Improve your self-esteem and boost your self-confidence

Why Work with Me? Your Health and Well-Being

Stress from relationship problems and individual challenges take a toll over time. Step-by-step, we work together to improve your mental health and well-being so you can cope with whatever difficulties are in your life.

I believe therapy should feel safe, supportive, and tailored to you. Here’s what you can expect when we work together:

A Judgment-Free Space: You don’t have to have it all figured out. My role is to meet you where you are and offer understanding and guidance, no matter where your journey has taken you so far.
Personalized Support: Everyone’s story is unique. That’s why I take the time to get to know you and what you need, creating a therapeutic process that feels right for you. I’ll walk alongside you at your pace, offering encouragement, tools, and strategies for lasting change.

Confidential & Private

I have use a software managemant system that is HIPPA compliant with teleheath features that ensure confidentiality and privacy for my clients. It’s called Carepatron and it’s designed so each client has access to a portal which houses all paperwork, scheduling and billing. It’s never been easier to schedule, prepare for your session, and meet! No more zoom or facetime calls … and you’ll have a new link for each session for added security. You can trust your information is safe-guarded.
