About Myrna

---

Myrna Kordab, MA is a warm, trauma-informed therapist who creates a supportive, affirming space for children, teens, adults, and families navigating anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, and life transitions. She offers virtual therapy across California through Affirming Psychological Services and provides in-person sessions in Irvine.

Myrna is especially passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ youth, multicultural and immigrant families, and neurodivergent clients, including those with Autism and ADHD. As an Arab American and proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, she brings both lived experience and professional expertise to her work. She practices with cultural humility and honors the intersections of identity that shape each client’s story.

Her therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). With younger clients, Myrna often incorporates play-based, creative, and mindfulness tools to help them express emotions, build coping skills, and strengthen emotional regulation. Her style is collaborative, strengths-based, and developmentally appropriate, meeting each client where they are and moving at a pace that feels safe and empowering.

Myrna also conducts psychological assessments with a trauma-aware lens, supporting clients with trauma-related disorders, depression, anxiety, and neurodevelopmental concerns.

She earned her bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Youngstown State University and her master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, where she is currently completing her PsyD in Clinical Psychology.
