I like to work relationally, which means that we, together, work on whatever challenges present themselves for you at this time in your life. It is my belief that each of us holds the answers to our own life challenges within ourselves. Therapy can create a supportive framework that can help clear debris from life's path so that one can see the path more clearly. Adult life is often connected to our history, and the culture/environments we grew up in. Therapy can be a place to understand the threads between past and present. I often work with folks who are becoming parents. This phase is complex and can stir the silt of our story.

Welcome to my practice, I am excited to partner with you as you take the brave step in seeking help. Many struggle with the following: isolation, depression, anxiety, attention, identity, change of life, toxic stress, grief, trauma, relationships, work, or family issues. Do you feel alone and overwhelmed in these issues? I offer a compassionate and validating space in which to help you take a look at these issues in an empowering, strengths-based way. I specialize in using creativity, art, mind-body strategies, and self-empowerment in relationships. We will take an in-depth look at your concerns in a holistic way.

I have over 20 years of experience helping people of diverse backgrounds heal from stuck emotions and patterns, anxiety, and trauma, I support individuals with life transitions, stress at home and at work, grief, coping with partner/family substance abuse, anxiety, family issues, family of origin issues, parenting issues, divorce, communication difficulties, and challenges, and confusion around career. I provide a nurturing and supportive environment to facilitate authentic self-expression. I believe in the innate ability of each individual to heal and realize unlimited potential. It is an honor for me to witness this journey.

Life can be extraordinarily challenging and finding a therapist that "fits" can be intimidating. I enjoy working with diverse clients from varied backgrounds. My passion is working with motivated clients to address trauma, anxiety, and various life transitions. I also enjoy working with teenagers navigating the road to adulthood. My role as a therapist is to nurture the innate healing process by teaching the needed skills and utilizing tailored interventions so clients may achieve goals related to improved emotional coping, satisfying relationships, and better quality of life.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious or depressed? Are you struggling in your relationships or at work? Are you seeking a supportive counseling relationship to help you sort things out and move forward in your life? Whatever life challenges you are facing we will come together to work on them and develop solutions to help you experience relief and reach your goals.

I offer a compassionate environment in which to heal and transform, beginning with embracing what IS, which allows for a more relaxed, gentle, clear and effective approach to our difficulties. Much of our emotional suffering stems from a disconnection from ourselves and our relationship with life. The work I offer facilitates a deep, authentic connection with oneself through somatic, experiential and psychodynamic work, self-inquiry, mindfulness and the support of the therapeutic relationship. Essentially I see that each person I work with has the full potential for healing already on board. We work to uncover and access that, so that full aliveness is restored.

Feeling depressed, anxious, or stuck? Life presents challenges, and there are many reasons to seek help. I provide a comfortable, non-judgmental environment in which we can work together to transform your difficulties into avenues for personal growth. Things don't change, people do, as a result of conscious choices. My approach to treatment is flexible, compassionate, and tailored to what you're seeking from therapy. I take a strengths-based approach, using solution-focused strategies as well as humor to help you find the clarity to realize your full potential. You can change your life if you're ready to change your habits!

Change is a natural part of life and can be both exciting and challenging. If you're looking to develop resources to deal with the challenge of transitions, anxiety or depression, or are seeking new ways of responding to old patterns, I'd like to work with you to actively create a fresh approach to building the life you want to be living. I am easy to talk to, and bring a warm and open presence approaching therapy as a conversation. I listen closely and aim to ask questions that help you to grow your own innate wisdom and inspire new ideas and solutions.

Life can present difficult feelings and experiences that become overwhelming. Therapy can be a way to manage these complicated feelings of sadness, anger, anxiety or just a general feeling of “stuckness”. I believe that everyone has the ability to unlock their potential and move forward.

Taking new clients .Life can bring us to a fork in the road where we can feel stuck without direction. It is essential to be able to verbalize feelings to help navigate the tough waters and bring peace and happiness to our lives. I use a person centered approach ( and a bit of humor) to help you get to calm waters in all aspects of your life. I specialize in working with individuals, families, life transitions, divorce, work/school problems,substance abuse and relationship issues.

At this time, I am NOT able to take any new clients. My ideal client is a person or family who is seeking change and who is looking for a therapist with an energetic, actively-involved, solution-focused style. When working with children, I use play therapy and will invite parents to play with us while teaching them what I'm doing and why I'm doing it. I will also teach the parents how to reinforce the same skills at home through play or other techniques. When working with teens and adults, I adjust my style in order to build a connection.

My name is Coralee (Cora for short). I have been a professional in the valley for 30 plus years. I believe we all have beliefs, a story that prevents us from living to our greater good. I am here and open to supporting that journey into wellness. My field of expertise is Substance Disorders, Mental Health issues. I also work with individuals around the loss of loved ones, jobs, homes. I am particularly open to working with families that have lost a family member to substance use, ie overdose, alcohol side affects. I also work with families around dealing with an afflicted family member. I look forward to helping with your journey.

Not accepting new clients.- - - Attending therapy is one of the biggest acts of self-care and self-love you can give to yourself. My practice is a space for respect, acceptance, hope, and growth; I focus on each client's independent goals, understanding their own process and challenges, and working on a collaborative dynamic to meet attainable and realistic goals. I am a Bilingual licensed mental health counselor, with more than 12 years of experience as a psychotherapist.

Most of us decide to enter into therapy because we are in pain and we want to find ways to end the pain. We feel stuck, without choices. While we are drawn to change and growth, it can also be very scary. As your therapist, I see it as my job to help you find the courage to see yourself clearly, to harness your own strength and resources, and to discover your own answers.

Sometimes we need to talk to someone who is trained at listening well in order to work through experiences, thoughts, and feelings that may be causing us to suffer, or interfering with our ability to live our lives in the way that we intend. Being psychodynamically trained, and drawing from various therapy tools including insight oriented, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavioral allows me the flexibility to be present to a wide variety of concerns. I’ll provide a holistic approach to therapy, while you get to know yourself in a new way, and use new insights to address your concerns.
