You’re here because…
You believe things can be different from what they are today.
We believe that too—that a life where you feel more connected, authentic, and true to the real you is possible…and deeply worth pursuing. Whether you're a college student learning who you are away from home, a teen feeling misunderstood, an adult navigating anxiety and self-doubt, or a couple trying to reconnect, you deserve a space where you can show up fully and be met with compassion.
We know your experiences are real, your pain is valid, and we also know healing is a process—and it’s one you don’t have to do alone. With a team of over 40 diverse, affirming clinicians, we make it easier to find a therapist who truly gets you: someone who shares your values, understands your identity, and can support your unique path forward.

How we work
We don’t believe you’re broken, and we won’t try to fix you.
At COR Counseling, we don’t push or force you to do anything, we guide and support. Our approach is about more than coping—it’s about getting to the root of what’s holding you back and creating space for something new. Therapy with us is warm, direct, and deeply compassionate.
Our work is also rooted in inclusivity and anti-oppression—
it’s important to us that no matter your background, identity, or where you are on your journey, you can show up as your full self.
When we reach a fork in the road, we won’t tell you which way to turn; we’ll help you look at both paths so you can decide what comes next. This kind of individualized, relational therapy can help you rebuild trust in yourself, reconnect with others, and feel more at home in your own life.
Who we help:
Teens, Adults & College Students
If you’re just beginning to figure out who you are or you're in a season of transition, we offer support across the lifespan—centered in affirmation, curiosity, and care.
Couples & Relationships
We help people navigate disconnection, communication issues, trust, identity shifts, and more. This includes long-term partnerships, families, or exploring new relationship dynamics.
LGBTQIA+ & Underrepresented Communities
As a queer-owned practice, we center our work in understanding the voices and lived experiences of the LGBTQ+ community, people of color, and anyone navigating systems that weren’t built with them in mind.
We Value
Affirmation.
Belonging.
Relationship.

Getting Started
Finding a therapist can feel overwhelming—we’re here to make it easier.
When you fill out our inquiry form, we’ll take the time to understand what you’re looking for. Based on your needs, availability, and insurance, we’ll match you with a therapist who’s a great fit—or connect you with the specific clinician you requested if they have availability.
If it feels like a good match, we’ll take care of the next steps: verifying your insurance, letting you know any costs up front, and getting your first session scheduled. We’re proud and privileged to offer you a therapeutic experience with no surprises, no pressure—just a clear path forward and support at every step.
Our goal is to help you get started with care that feels right for you.
