ABOUT US
CORE is committed to the psychological wellness and growth of our clients, helping people clarify their goals and expand their way of thinking. The goal is to help the client to feel empowered to handle previously overwhelming problems or difficulties by providing them the space to grow in a nurturing environment. CORE offers the most effective, up-to-date, well-researched, and professionally executed interventions, and assessments. CORE is committed to helping individuals, couples, and families address their varied psychological needs. Through the use of evaluation, consultation, education, and therapy, CORE offers a dynamic and culturally sensitive approach in an affirmative environment.
OUR "CORE" VALUES
All of us are multifaceted, as we have different aspects to our personalities. At CORE, we celebrate all aspects of our diversity as well as our similarities. Our practice is based on Self Leadership, Systemic, and Contextual Theories. The foundation of these theories is based in the idea that people have an innate capacity, wisdom, and intuitive knowledge that may be blocked by fears, while also acknowledging the specific circumstances and elements in a person or family's life that have led to these outcomes. By working to release these fears, we are tapping into the clients’ internal resources. Therefore, a client can feel empowered and bring about deep inner changes rather than superficial symptom-focused change.
