Getting to know Kori Grillo
In my experience as a psychotherapist, I have been successful in assisting individuals and couples in overcoming barriers that inhibited their personal and professional growth. My specialties include behavior analysis, cognitive behavioral therapy, sexuality, and anxiety/stress management. I have a background in helping professionals reach their highest levels of performance both within the corporate arena and in everyday life. I am passionate about helping others achieve their goals and expand beyond their internalized beliefs.
I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Chicago and a Bachelor’s degree from Coastal Carolina University. I am an LGBTQAI+ affirming therapist, and the collective is dedicated to ensuring that all clinicians uphold excellent affirmative values. It is my goal to provide a safe space where you can feel comfortable being your authentic self or discovering your authentic self through therapy.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My goal is to offer a warm, compassionate space for clients to feel safe in being vulnerable. I utilize a strength based, person centered approach to treatment which puts the client as the expert in their own life. I am here to help guide you and work towards your goals, in a way that best meets your needs.
Our goal at the collective is to provide a queer affirming, safe and intimate space for you to explore your inner world, bringing you closer to living your most authentic life. Each clinician brings their authentic self to each session allowing for an individualized, collaborative approach to treatment with a core belief that you are the expert in your own life. It is our belief that the most important part of therapy is the relationship between therapist and client.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
When you reach out to us, you will be met with warmth and compassion.
The first call with the intake coordinator will be aimed at learning what brought you to therapy and your expectations for our working with one of our clinicians.
The therapist will use evidence-based assessment tools and interventions to ensure they are providing you with a high level of care. Depending on the goals of the client, they may assign homework but this is dependent on the needs of the client. Progress often happens with work outside of therapy and in between sessions. The clinicians at Velvet Psychotherapy Collective are experienced in Psychodynamic theory, psychoanalytic theory, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, emotionally-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing.
