In a world full of mental health apps, digital dashboards, and therapy that can sometimes feel more like tech support, Core Therapy is doing things differently. We offer something that might sound radical in the age of chatbots and quick matches: actual human connection.
At Core Therapy, your care is personal—because you’re not just a profile or a questionnaire result. You’re a whole person, and we’re here to support you. From licensed teletherapy to psychiatric services, occupational therapy, and speech-language support, all of our care is delivered through secure, compassionate virtual platforms—designed to meet you where you are.
If you’ve ever felt like just another name in a virtual queue, you’re not imagining it. Let’s talk about why Core Therapy offers a truly different experience—and why it might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
Experience teletherapy the way it should be: personal, compassionate, and tailored to you. Contact Core Therapy today.
1. You’re Not Just a Profile—You’re a Person
Apps like Talkspace and BetterHelp often focus on speed and scale, automating matches and emphasizing convenience. But fast doesn’t always mean fulfilling.
At Core Therapy, we slow things down in the best way. Matching you with a therapist is about more than who’s available—it’s about who gets you. We consider therapeutic style, specialties, cultural background, and personality. It’s a more thoughtful match that creates space for trust from the very first session.
Prefer phone over video? Want evening sessions? We’re flexible like that. Because therapy should work for you, not the other way around.
2. Our Therapists Are a Team—Not Gig Workers
Many platforms use a contractor model, where therapists juggle multiple apps, clients, and time zones, often with limited support. That can mean burnout for therapists and inconsistent care for clients.
At Core Therapy, our clinicians are part of a cohesive, supported team of California-licensed professionals: LCSWs, LMFTs, LPCCs, psychologists, and more. They aren’t just checked for credentials, they’re nurtured through ongoing training, supervision, and a shared mission: delivering ethical, effective, and empathetic care.
The result? Continuity, commitment, and care you can count on.
3. We Do Teletherapy With a Heart
We believe good therapy feels like a safe conversation, not a tech feature. That’s why we don’t rely on chat threads or automated responses. At Core Therapy, you meet with your therapist face-to-face (via video or phone), and every session is interactive, grounded, and relational.
We offer real therapy from real professionals—not just mental health check-ins, but deep work that fosters change. And unless you ask to switch, your therapist is your therapist—no musical chairs here.
4. Insurance-Ready and Easy on the Wallet
Let’s talk money. Many therapy platforms operate outside insurance networks. What looks like an affordable monthly plan can quickly add up when you’re paying out of pocket.
Core Therapy takes a different approach. We work with your insurance plan, including most major carriers, to minimize costs. We also offer sliding-scale options through our partnership with USC’s MSW program—because affordability should never be a barrier to quality care.
And switching therapists? No fees, no hassle. Just the support you need, when you need it.
5. Inclusive Care That Feels Like Home
Cultural fit matters in therapy. We get that. That’s why our team reflects the diverse communities we serve across California. We offer affirming care for BIPOC, LGBTQ+, immigrant, multilingual, neurodiverse, and intersectional identities—and we don’t just stop at awareness, we practice cultural responsiveness in every session.
We want you to feel like your story is not only heard, but honored.
6. We See the Whole You
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” anything. It’s about growth, healing, and making space for who you truly are. At Core Therapy, we take a whole-person approach that moves at your pace and honors your goals.
We support clients navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma, relationship stress, and more. Our psychiatric team offers medication management when needed—but always with your voice at the center of every decision. (We don’t prescribe controlled substances or treat substance use disorders directly, but we’re here to help you find the right care if you need it.)
Wherever you are, we meet you there—with compassion, respect, and curiosity.
7. Real People, Real Conversations
We’ve all hit that frustrating wall: reaching out for support and being met with a bot or a “we’ll get back to you soon” auto-response. Not here.
When you contact Core Therapy, you get a real human—someone who can answer your questions, walk you through the intake process, and actually help. We’re not here to rush you into therapy. We’re here to guide you into care that feels right.
A Better Way to Do Virtual Care
We understand the appeal of therapy apps. They’re fast. They’re flashy. But when it comes to mental health, we believe you deserve more than an algorithm and a chat window.
Core Therapy offers something deeper: meaningful connection, expert support, and personalized care. Our telehealth services span all of California, and we’re committed to making therapy accessible, affordable, and real.
Research shows online therapy works just as well as in-person care, and when it’s rooted in trust and tailored to you, it can be transformative.
Your Mental Health Deserves More
You’re not just looking for convenience. You’re looking for connection. You want to feel seen, not scanned. Heard, not handled.
At Core Therapy, we believe therapy should be more than “good enough.” It should be good for you.
Choose personal. Choose supported. Choose Core Therapy.
