Getting to know Kory Fricks
Hi there, I'm Kory!
Therapy with me is warm, honest, and respectful. We can work together on things like feelings of depression and anxiety, relationship concerns, and stress reduction. I can also provide support in processing difficult life events. I take a holistic view of each person, and tailor our time together to fit your unique experience and goals.
My approach
Because each person is different, I use a variety of therapeutic approaches. More than anything, I am Person-Centered, bringing unconditional positive regard, empathy, and genuineness to our relationship. I integrate Motivational Interviewing and CBT to help people achieve meaningful change in thoughts and behavior. I use therapies that are Experiential to aid in processing past and present experiences, and to support a sense of positive self-regard. When working with couples or people in relationships, I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy and Relational Life Therapy to foster emotional connection and healing.
My focus
Life can be pretty overwhelming at times. Whether you are facing relationship challenges, anxiety you just can’t shake, or not feeling as happy as you would like, I am here to support you. I work with adults, adolescents, and people in all types of relationships. Together, we can get clear about the things that are working for you, and the things that are not, and we can define goals that feel right for your situation. We can also incorporate relaxation techniques, mindfulness practices, and communication strategies into our time together. I want to understand why life feels hard for you right now and help you feel better.
My communication style
As a therapist, I am here to listen. At times, I will also ask you about the things I have heard you say in pursuit of a deeper understanding of your thoughts and feelings. I am genuine and transparent about my own experience with you. We can have a frank discussion without judgment or shame.
