COR VALENTINE (THEY/HE), MA
It’s hard to feel magical and awesome when your sparkle is being dulled by a world that actively works against you. The therapeutic space should be a place where you can discover and embrace your sparkly, magical self. When you are empowered to be unapologetically yourself, you are able to practice prioritizing your physical and emotional needs. When your needs are well met, you are so much closer to doing and being everything you ever dreamed.
Empowerment, Empathy, and Validation are core (lol, Cor, that’s me!) values that guide my work with clients. As a spiritually-informed therapist, I take a holistic, relational approach; exploring meaning-making systems that keep your light shining, and take into consideration everything at work within you: mind, body, and spirit. You are the narrator of your story and together we will work to understand your story and implement ways to cultivate the magic that already lives inside you.
