I’m Porche Corley, a Clinical Social Worker licensed in both Georgia and Colorado. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Human Services with a concentration in Family and Child Services from the University of Phoenix and my Master of Social Work from Capella University. In addition to my licensure, I hold the Board Certified-TeleMental Health Provider and Human Services-Board Certified Practitioner credentials from the Center for Credentialing and Education. I am also a certified Clinical Trauma Professional and certified specialist in anger management and grief/loss. I am deeply passionate about helping individuals navigate these challenges with compassion, support, and understanding.
The first session is all about building trust and creating a strong foundation for our work together. I’ll ask thoughtful questions designed to understand your unique experiences, perspectives, and goals. It’s an opportunity for us to establish a safe and open space where you can share what’s important to you, and I can gain a deeper understanding of how I can best support you. This session is not just about gathering information—it’s about making sure we’re on the same page, with a clear understanding of what you hope to achieve moving forward. While this first meeting serves as a starting point, I want to emphasize that our approach will be tailored to your needs and preferences. Over time, we’ll refine our work together to ensure it stays aligned with your evolving goals and personal growth. Ultimately, this is a collaborative, supportive journey, and I’m here to help guide you every step of the way
In my sessions, I strive to create an environment that feels safe, compassionate, and empowering. I understand that therapy often involves vulnerability, so I focus on building a space where clients feel truly seen, understood, and supported. My tone is both empathetic and encouraging—I meet each client where they are, offering validation and kindness, while gently challenging them to grow. Our work together is collaborative and client-centered. I tailor my approach to each individual, incorporating creativity and practical strategies to promote healing, skill-building, and self-discovery. Above all, my clients often share that they feel respected and heard, with the freedom to explore their thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment.
With 5 years of experience, I specialize in providing compassionate, evidence-based therapy to individuals and families dealing with a wide range of concerns, including anger/aggression, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is a structured approach that combines elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mindfulness practices. In MBCT, we focus on becoming more aware of your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations in the present moment, without judgment. This awareness helps you recognize when negative thought patterns are starting to take hold, and it gives you the tools to interrupt these patterns before they spiral into emotional distress. By learning to stay present and observe your thoughts rather than reacting to them, you can create more space to respond to situations in a calmer, more balanced way.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a goal-directed, future-focused therapeutic approach that emphasizes the client’s strengths, resources, and capacity for change. In SFBT, we spend less time focusing on past problems and more on what you want to achieve moving forward. Instead of delving deeply into why things happened, we’ll focus on what you want to achieve and how we can get there together, step by step. The goal is to empower you with the resources and skills you already have to make meaningful progress moving forward.
