Welcome to the first episode of Kare with Korac! This first episode is a brief introduction into my hopes for what this will be and what it could turn into. I share a little bit about why I started the podcast and some of my background and experience in mental health care.
I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology with a minor in Outdoor Leadership. Right after getting my degree, I went straight into my master's program and got my degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Northern Colorado. I pull from a variety of experiencing in working in the mental health care industry including working with adults with developmental/intellectual disabilities, adolescents in school settings, adult and adolescent inpatient treatment, mental health and the outdoors, corrections counseling, private practice, group counseling for transgender adolescents, and more. Through these experiences, I have discovered passions in working with trauma, the LGBTQIA+ community, suicidality, and much more.
I approach life with all the wonder and wild adventure that comes with it. I often practice from an Existential framework in the understanding that there are certain givens of existence that all struggle with. Through this framework, I operate in an integrative approach that works to meet the needs of each individual client. I often find myself pulling from a trauma-informed approach as I met the standards for a Certified Trauma Professional (CTP) and have been trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) as well. I value the body-mind connection and take the time to make sure that you are having your needs met holistically. I have also met the standards for a Certified Telemental Health Provider Associate (CTMH-A) and strive to make sure that my clients' care is as equitable as if we were meeting in-person.
