CORE - Center Of Relational Empowerment, PC The Center Of Relational Empowerment helps individuals, couples and families strengthen their core selves, and in doing so, empowers them to strengthen their relationships with others. CORE provides psychological therapy, workshops, groups and psychoeducational seminars. At the heart of CORE is our belief that everyone has leadership and healing qualities - perspective, confidence, compassion, and acceptance - crucial to our highest, most harmonious functioning. While we can't change difficulties of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve current challenges. Understanding problems you face through your own context will help to find the solutions that work best for you. For more information, please visit www.core-chicago.com. Treatment Philosophy At CORE, we celebrate all aspects of our diversity as well as our similarities. Our practice is based on Self Leadership, Systemic, and Contextual Theories. We focus on the innate capacity and intuitive knowledge of people and the unique circumstances and elements in a person or family's life. CORE is committed to helping individuals, couples and families address their varied psychological needs. Through the use of evaluation, consultation, education, and therapy, CORE offers a dynamic and culturally sensitive approach in an affirmative environment. Therapy and counseling can help uncover long-standing patterns and behaviors that can get in the way of feeling fullfilled in our relationships with ourselves and others. We believe that no family or cultural system operates the same way and that there is no "right" way to live life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, we look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.
