Cornerstone Vision Counseling and Psychological Services

What Cornerstone Vision Counseling and Psychological Services does

Cornerstone Vision Counseling and Psychological Services is a privately held outpatient mental health practice headquartered in Fort Wayne, Indiana, with a satellite office in Paulding, Ohio serving Northwest Ohio. The practice has been operating continuously since 1996, founded by Dr. Robert Heck (PhD, HSPP), and now employs approximately 10 licensed and certified mental health professionals across clinical psychology, clinical social work, marriage and family therapy, and mental health counseling disciplines. Patients are served across the lifespan — from children through geriatric populations — with services organized into four core areas: personal healing and growth, relationships/marriage/family, mental health and wellness, and psychological/neuropsychological services.

The practice's clinical technology stack consists of evidence-based therapeutic modalities rather than software products. Differentiated and specialized methods include The Cortina Method (a brain-based trauma recovery methodology), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Registered Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Comprehensive neuropsychological assessments are offered alongside counseling, requiring interviews and standardized testing to evaluate brain-behavior relationships. No digital products, mobile applications, or AI-enabled tools are present in the offering.

The revenue model is fee-for-service clinical billing, with intake fees ranging from $115 (pre-licensed therapist) to $205 (doctoral-level) and ongoing session fees varying by clinician credentials. The practice participates as an in-network provider for many insurance companies — explicitly excluding Medicaid, MDWise, and HIP — and offers an adjusted fee scale plus church-sponsored payment assistance for uninsured clients. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via phone scheduling, online contact forms, local SEO through the corvision.org website and Google Business Profile, and word-of-mouth referrals augmented by church partnerships and physician referral networks.
