Dr. Corrine Buenvenida (better known as Doctor Corrine) is Hannelore's psychotherapist, and when Hannelore referred Faye to her, Faye's as well. She has only appeared in therapy sessions with Faye in the strip (canonically).

She is a practical, down-to-earth person, with a somewhat warped sense of humor, capable of fending off Faye's cynicism. According to Jeph Jacques, "...a lot of the stuff Dr. Corrine tells Faye probably wouldn’t be 'ethical' in the real world".[1] Her actions toward Hannelore may also be outside the mainstream of therapeutic protocols.[2] For example, Corrine wasn't very supportive when Hannelore decided to join the Deathmøle as a drummer.[3]

According to Faye, who may have been kidding, Dr. Buenvenida has refused to deal with anyone else from Faye's social circle,[4] though she gave Dora a referral to another therapist. Not meeting with Faye in nearly two thousand strips may have been a factor in Faye's breakdown drinking binge.

In Number 1356: That Should Always Be An Option Dr. Buenvenida and Faye discuss Sven's hook up with Gina Riversmith.
