💑 Romantic partners
👯‍♀️ Siblings
👨‍👩‍👧 Families
🤝 Business besties
🧍🧍 Roommates who keep fighting over the thermostat
✨ Thinking about it? On the fence? Arguing about the fence? This is your sign.

Whether you’re syncing up or sorting things out, we’ve got space for you, emotionally and literally.

💬 Sessions ONLY available in our cozy Terrytown office OR online (yes, you can wear pajamas).

No pressure. No catch. Just a solid chance to talk things out (on us!).

Hey therapists! You’re great at helping people, but who’s helping you?
At CORE, we’re hiring fully licensed counselors for in-person counseling, and we back our therapists the way therapists back everyone else: with real support, real flexibility, and a culture that actually gets it.

CORE is growing, and we’re looking for passionate, fully licensed counselors to join our in-person dream team. 💙

Here’s why you’ll love working with us:
🧠 Make Real Impact: You’re not just doing sessions. You’re changing lives.
🌈 Come As You Are: LGBTQ+ & Hispanic-owned. Inclusive is our default.
📅 Clients? We Got You: No hustling. We book your calendar.
🕒 You Call the Shots: Create a schedule that works for you.
📍 Office Vibes That Work: Chalmette, Terrytown, Mid-City. You choose your spots.
👶 Life Happens, We Get It: We’re flexible.
🧑‍🤝‍🧑 You’re Never Solo: Check-ins, support, and real connection.
📝 Less Paperwork, More People: Admin? Handled. You do the therapy.
💸 Paid. Even for No-Shows: Yup, really.
🎊 Serious Work, Serious Fun: We laugh, we cry, we celebrate each other.

Sound like your kind of place? Let’s talk. 📩

Tomorrow!

07/24/2025

We talk healing, pero también bailamos.

Our therapists know that work-life balance includes dance breaks, family time, and saying yes to joyful moments beyond the therapy room. 💃🧠

This Sunday (7/27 at 8PM CST), catch our CEO Nicole sharing her cultura latina and self-care-dancing on Leguizamo Does America on Peacock NBC!

Because sometimes, dancing really is the best therapy.

🎶 FREE is our favorite price 🎶
If you're a St. Bernard Parish resident with a history of opioid use, you and your family can get counseling for FREE — even if you don’t have insurance.

That’s right. Zip. Nada. Zero. 🙌
Recovery shouldn’t come with a price tag. 🧠💪

📞Call us at 504-656-HEAL and we’ll take care of the rest.
✨ Share this with someone who could use the good news.
