“I had requested a referral to a more seasoned therapist, who had vast experience in life and her field. I am so lucky to have been matched with Corliss. Her depth of experience is remarkable. She draws upon her years of knowledge of various practical therapies that she knows have been successful. I feel as though my progress has been upward, with important self-awareness acheved along the way. Through listening interpretation, and evaluation, Corliss applies the best approach to meet my needs.”

Getting to know Corliss Porter
Hi there, I'm Corliss!
Corliss E. Porter, MFT California License 11926. I assist you in identifying your goals and challenges and then use individualized exercises, tools, and resources to help create a healthy, balanced life. My approach includes family-systems theory, somatic (mind-body intervention), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), trauma resolution, spiritual and positive strength-based, client-centered therapy, and more.
My approach
By exploring your emotional terrain with you, I provide tools, skills, and resources to establish new patterns that enable greater fulfillment. The exploration’s purpose is to identify and create new patterns of thought, emotions, and spirit. Connecting with your inner self, this inner healer and guide enhances the experience. In short: I help you use the threads of your current and past experiences to weave a new tapestry of your life.
My focus
I have a varied practice and work with people from 14 years old to those in their 80s. I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, family issues, diagnosed mental illness, as well as those desiring to reach new goals or searching for deeper meaning.
My communication style
My approach is client-centered. We set a plan together and move toward your goals. I give homework to support your work during sessions and reinforce your success.
My journey to mental healthcare
I was influenced by my grandmother, who created a highly successful residential treatment program in 1932. She created a healing environment. I believe positive mental health requires establishing a supportive environment for growth—internally through our relationship with ourselves and externally through supportive habits, patterns, and relationships. I am moved by the courage and strength of my clients as they achieve their goals.

She was very pleasant to work with, but we gave her a little lower rating than we would have otherwise simply because she didn’t have enough training in the specific area we needed - everything was too general.
