Corliss Porter, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Corliss!

I help you identify your goals and challenges, then use individualized exercises, tools, and resources to create a healthy, balanced life. My approach includes family-systems theory, somatic interventions, CBT, DBT, trauma resolution, and client-centered therapy.

My focus

I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, family issues, and mental illness, as well as those desiring to reach new goals or searching for deeper meaning. My practice includes clients ranging from teens to older adults.

My approach

By exploring your emotional terrain with you, I provide the tools and skills you need to establish new patterns that enable greater fulfillment. We identify existing patterns and create new ones in thought, emotion, and spirit. I help you use the threads of your current and past experiences to weave a new tapestry of your life.

My communication style

My approach is client-centered. We set a plan together and move towards your goals. I give homework to support your work during sessions and reinforce your success.

My journey to mental healthcare

I believe positive mental health requires establishing a supportive environment for growth, both internally through our relationship with ourselves and externally through supportive habits and relationships. I am moved by the courage and strength of my clients as they achieve their goals.

My goals for you

We work together on your goals and review them frequently to ensure your success. We make changes as needed and use a variety of interventions, resources, and tools.

Our first session

We complete an assessment of your needs, strengths, resources, patterns, and supports. We identify what you've tried in the past and develop a plan of action. I'll explain how I can support your efforts, establish a time frame, and set expectations and emergency protocols.
