CORE OVERVIEW

 The Center of Relational Empowerment helps individuals, couples and families strengthen their core selves, and in doing so, empowers them to strengthen their relationships with others. CORE provides psychological therapy, testing, workshops, groups and psychoeducational seminars for people from all walks of life. At the heart of CORE is our belief that everyone has leadership and healing qualities - perspective, confidence, compassion, and acceptance - crucial to our highest, most harmonious functioning.

While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work with our clients to better understand and resolve challenges in their life. Therapy and counseling can help uncover long-standing patterns and behaviors that can get in the way of feeling fulfilled in our relationships with ourselves and others.  We believe that no family or cultural system operates the same way and that there is no "right" way to live life.  Therefore, it is our goal to understand the problems our clients face through their own context in order to find the meanings and solutions that work best for them.

CORE serves a diverse client population in regard to race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, ability/disability, and socioeconomic status.  While our client population is always changing, here are some statistics about the clients we serve (does not cover all identifiers):
