Trauma-Informed Approaches

Clients can expect their first session to be a warm, supportive, and judgment-free environment where they can feel comfortable sharing their concerns and goals. Cora takes time to get to know each client, understand what they are experiencing, and identify the areas they would like to work on in therapy.

For children and teens, she uses age-appropriate approaches such as play therapy, art therapy, and reflective activities to help them express their emotions and feel comfortable in the therapeutic setting. Parents can also expect to receive practical guidance and strategies to better understand and support their child.

For couples and adults, Cora focuses on creating a safe space for open communication, empathy, and validation. Together, clients and Cora will identify treatment goals and begin developing practical strategies to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, communication difficulties, and relationship challenges.

By the end of the first session, clients can expect to have a clearer understanding of the therapy process, initial treatment goals, and a collaborative plan for moving forward.
