Finding the right therapist is more than just checking boxes for credentials or convenience. It’s about connection. Whether you’re exploring therapy for the first time or looking for someone new, the most important factor is finding a provider who truly understands you—your identity, your experiences, and your goals.
At Core Therapy, we take that seriously. Therapy should never feel generic or transactional. It should feel personal, thoughtful, and affirming from day one.
Let’s match you with a clinician who sees you, hears you, and supports your growth—every step of the way.
More Than Just a Match
Plenty of therapy platforms use quick algorithms or availability-based pairings to match clients with therapists. It’s fast—but it can be frustrating. These systems often overlook what actually makes therapy work: trust, shared understanding, and a sense of safety.
At Core Therapy, we do it differently. Our matching process is thoughtful and relational, not rushed or robotic. We take the time to really understand who you are and what you’re looking for—so you can start your journey with someone who just gets it.
A Team as Diverse as California
As a California-based practice, we’re proud that our team reflects the beautifully diverse communities we serve. With over 30 licensed clinicians—each with unique cultural, linguistic, gender, and lived experience backgrounds—we can connect you with someone who aligns with your identity, preferences, and needs.
Looking for a therapist who shares your cultural lens, speaks your language, or understands specific life experiences? We’ve got you. Whether you’re BIPOC, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, an immigrant, a new parent, or navigating multiple identities, we have therapists who don’t just “know”—they understand.
We also offer:
- Therapists across specialties, including family, relational, and trauma-informed therapy
- Multilingual options to reduce communication barriers
- Local insights from providers who know the unique pressures of urban, suburban, and rural California life
Our Matching Process: Human First, Always
Here’s what sets our approach apart:
🔹 Personalized Intake
When you reach out, you’ll speak with a real person—not a bot. We ask thoughtful questions about your preferences, challenges, and therapy goals. Want someone who specializes in trauma? Need someone who practices a specific modality? We’ll make sure to note it all.
🔹 Holistic Matching
We consider more than just calendar availability. We look at clinical style, cultural awareness, communication preferences, therapeutic modalities, and lived experience.
🔹 Ongoing Support
Not a perfect match? No worries. We’ll help you find a better fit quickly and compassionately. No judgment—just support. Your comfort and progress are what matter most.
And yes, we’ll help guide you through the insurance process, too—because navigating mental health care shouldn’t feel like another full-time job.
Why the Right Fit Matters
Therapy is powerful—but only when it’s grounded in trust and connection. When you’re matched with the right therapist, you can:
- Speak openly without having to explain or defend your identity
- Build rapport faster and go deeper in your sessions
- Receive affirming, relevant support rooted in your lived experience
- Create a collaborative treatment plan that actually works for you
When the fit isn’t right, therapy can feel flat—or even retraumatizing. That’s why we go the extra mile to get it right from the start. Your well-being is too important to leave to chance.
Mental Health Professionals Who Get It—and Get You
Our therapists are trained in gold-standard, evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, EMDR, and trauma-informed care—but that’s just the beginning.
We encourage our clinicians to show up as humans, not just experts. That means being present, warm, and authentic. It also means continuously learning—because no one is ever done growing, including us.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, relationship stress, or trauma, we’re here with the tools and the heart to walk alongside you.
Support That Works for You—Wherever You Are
All of our therapy is 100% virtual, which means you can connect with a therapist who understands you from the privacy and comfort of your home—no matter where you are in California.
We also offer low-cost therapy options through our partnership with USC’s MSW program, so financial accessibility doesn’t become a roadblock to meaningful care. Every client receives a customized treatment plan tailored to their mental health needs and goals.
Our platform is secure, HIPAA-compliant, and easy to use—so you can stay focused on healing, not tech troubleshooting.
