Hello, my name is Cori Harral and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in San Diego, CA working with clients throughout the state of California. I work with clients to focus on building emotional resilience and personal growth to help improve their wellbeing.
My approach
I specialize in DBT and CBT with a client-centered approach to help navigate life's challenges and better understand oneself. This is done not only with support and kindness but acceptance as well. We will work collaboratively to identify individual needs and goals to help commit to new coping skills to better manage difficulties in life.
My focus
I have worked with a variety of clients and work to adjust to the needs of each client. I frequently focus on emotional regulation therapy to help lessen and manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. Together we work to develop skills that work best for the client and improve their emotional awareness with mindfulness.
My communication style
I want my clients to feel comfortable by creating a calming, warm, and understanding environment each session. I listen to each concern without judgment and allow open communication to discuss ways to improve the therapeutic alliance.
My journey to mental healthcare
The belief that everyone deserves to be heard and to feel less alone drove me to become a therapist. Healing is a difficult journey and everyone should have the opportunity to have support along the way. There are few things more rewarding than watching someone's life change for the better.
My goals for you
Goal setting acts as a roadmap for the client to follow when having to face challenges and achieve things in life. We will work collaboratively to identify short-term and long-term goals and keep track of the progress made during session. It is important to set simple and achievable goals in order to feel more empowered during this process.
My first session with you
During our first session, we will discuss some of your main concerns to help better understand what you are experiencing. Along with that, we will discuss ways I can best support you and the expectations of therapy. Understanding each individual client helps provide direction for treatment.
