Corie Jones Duzsa, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Corie!

I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families facing trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship issues, parenting problems, family conflict, chronic pain, and low self-esteem. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood and supported as we work together toward healing.

My focus

I currently work primarily with adults and older teens, individuals, and couples. I'm most comfortable supporting clients with mood disorders, past trauma, relationship issues, and stress-related concerns.

My approach

I meet clients where they are and guide them toward where they want to go. I believe a therapeutic relationship built on trust, safety, and compassion allows you to explore thoughts and feelings freely. We'll work collaboratively to discover strategies and solutions that work best for you.

My communication style

I create a tone of warmth, caring, compassion, and understanding in each session. You'll feel safe and comfortable talking openly about your current and past struggles, your thoughts and feelings, and your goals and aspirations.

My journey to mental healthcare

After a car accident left me paralyzed, I faced tremendous loss and had to reimagine my life. I've always been a good listener with a big heart, wanting to help others and understand how childhood shapes who we become. Going through such a huge transition inspired me to become a therapist.

My goals for you

From our first session, I ask what goals you'd like to accomplish in therapy and encourage you to be as specific as possible. I often use a treatment plan with clear goals and a timeframe so we can track your progress together.

Our first session

I take a friendly, open, and warm approach so you feel comfortable and at ease talking about what brought you to therapy. I'll explain my therapeutic approach and begin getting to know you and your history.
