Kory Osborne-Lewis, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Kory!

I'm passionate about creating meaningful connections and helping people navigate life's challenges with compassion and understanding. I work to build a therapeutic relationship where you feel heard and supported as we explore what brings you to therapy.

My focus

I enjoy working with adults and the aging population. I provide individual therapy for clients who would like to address mood disorders, including depression and anxiety. I have experience supporting people through various life transitions and challenges.

My approach

I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Bereavement Therapy, Problem-solving therapy, Solution-focused brief therapy, and Strengths-based therapy. I draw from these approaches to tailor our work together.

My communication style

I use an assertive communication style and provide a safe and judgement-free environment for my clients. I want every client to know that I am actively listening and processing every word they share.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been passionate about helping others. As a teen, I participated in Peer Leadership. As I aged, I spent many years working in various positions in a skilled nursing facility. During this time, I discovered the impact that active listening provided, which motivated me to pursue my provider journey.

My goals for you

I assist clients in identifying their goals and creating clear, obtainable steps to conquer each goal. We work collaboratively to break down larger objectives into manageable actions, celebrating progress along the way.

Our first session

Clients should expect to discuss expectations for the client and provider. The client will complete an initial assessment to allow the provider to gain additional insight into their life. This will also give us an opportunity to get to know more about each other and to establish whether this therapeutic relationship is the best fit.
