Korlu McCainster

Hi! I'm Korlu McCainster, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, with over 4 years of experience in mental health and substance addiction. I work with individuals to address areas of needs from a trauma informed approach. As your therapist, I want you to know that I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where you can be fully yourself. I move at your pace and honor your boundaries, believing strongly in your capacity for healing and growth. My practice is inclusive, affirming, and rooted in compassion. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered as you navigate your life and discover the strengths within you.

I offer a safe, compassionate space where you can express yourself openly without fear of judgment. Therapy with me is a partnership—we work together to explore what you need and set goals that feel right for you. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I tailor our work to your pace, personality, background, and goals. I integrate evidence-based approaches like CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed practices, always focusing on what feels most supportive for you. My goal is to help you understand yourself deeply, strengthen your emotional resilience, and create meaningful changes. Ultimately, I want you to feel more grounded, confident, and aligned with the life you want to live.

In our first session, we’ll review your intake information, discuss your goals, and talk about what you’d like from therapy. I’ll explain my approach, answer any questions, and outline what our work together might look like. By the end of the session, you’ll have a sense of my style and we’ll decide together on the next steps.
