About Me
I’m Cornelia Scott, and I go by Cory. I offer four- and five-day in-person EMDR Intensives for individuals and couples on my 80-acre property in Southwest Virginia. Clients stay in a private standalone cottage on the property, surrounded by nature, walking paths, and river access.
My work integrates EMDR Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, embodiment-based practices, Relational Life Therapy for couples, yoga, breathwork, and nervous-system support. These Intensives are designed for self-aware clients who have often done meaningful therapy or coaching and are ready for deeper trauma integration, relational repair, and embodied change.
Trauma held in the nervous system can shape our feelings, reactions, beliefs, relationships, and performance in ways that are difficult to shift through insight alone. My work supports clients in moving toward deeper safety, clarity, love, belonging, and personal empowerment.
