Cora Pavelski is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who provides a compassionate, collaborative, and strengths-based approach to supporting adolescents and adults through life's challenges. They create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel genuinely heard and understood, believing that every person has the capacity for healing and growth. Cora helps clients develop practical coping skills, increase resilience, and navigate life with greater self-awareness and authenticity.

  • Areas of Focus: She specializes in working with adolescents and adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, and depression. Also supports individuals navigating relationship challenges, major life transitions, low self-esteem, and the need to build healthier relationships and emotional regulation.

  • Therapeutic Approach: Integrates evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, and person-centered techniques to meet each client's unique needs. Cora's work emphasizes understanding patterns that may be keeping clients stuck, developing practical coping skills, and creating meaningful, lasting change. Clients appreciate their compassionate presence and collaborative approach to therapy.

  • Educational Background: She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling from California State University, Fresno. She is supervised by Stacey Thacker, LMFT #43024.

"I believe healing happens when people feel seen, accepted, and empowered to rewrite the stories that no longer serve them. My hope is that every client leaves our work together with greater confidence, deeper self-understanding, and the tools to create a life that reflects who they truly are."
