Her Approach
Coral is a holistic healer that incorporates both traditional and non-traditional techniques to help treat the individual as a whole. Her approach integrates spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional forms of well-being. Her goal is to help individuals develop a deeper understanding of themselves on all these levels. Coral’s approach comes from a Collaborative Therapy perspective. The collaborative nature of this approach nurtures a strong therapeutic alliance, heightening the client’s engagement and satisfaction with the process. Her focus is on empowering clients to overcome their problems by setting goals and working together on how to achieve those goals. Furthermore, this approach equips clients with the skills and resources to handle future challenges, promoting long-term well-being.
Coral also incorporates Family Systems Theory. This theory encourages us to look at how we have been shaped through behaviors and experiences from our early childhood. Exploring the beliefs that form who you are, can help us unlearn and reframe them. Coral can help heal the wounds of the past and help you focus on your wants and needs by prioritizing yourself and fomenting self-care.
Some of the techniques include healing work like guided meditations with visualization, inner child work and Parts Work. These aim to identify and resolve the conflicts between the different parts that compose who we are.
Coral also has experience with Narrative Therapy which is a form of counseling that helps clients externalize their problems which allows distance from their issues. With their new perspective, individuals feel more empowered to make changes in their thought patterns and behavior and “rewrite” their life story for a future that reflects who they are, what they are capable of, and what their purpose is, separate from their problems. Coral is also trained in Imago Relationship Therapy and Gottman Couples Counseling principles.
