About Kori Agius

Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical, intimidating, or heavy all the time. I believe real healing happens when you feel safe enough to be honest, supported enough to explore, and empowered enough to grow. My goal is to create a space where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

I work primarily with adult women and individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck in survival mode, or disconnected from who they used to be. Together, we focus on building insight, learning practical skills, and creating meaningful, sustainable change.

How I Help

My approach is holistic, trauma-informed, and evidence-based, blending mind-body awareness with practical tools you can use in everyday life. I draw from therapies including CBT, ACT, CPT, DBT, and mindfulness-based practices, always tailoring treatment to your unique needs, values, and goals.

In our work together, we may focus on:

Understanding how past experiences and trauma show up in the present

Developing skills to manage anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm

Strengthening self-esteem and self-compassion

Improving communication and relationship patterns

Processing grief, loss, and life transitions

Reconnecting with your sense of identity, purpose, and inner resilience

Therapy with me is collaborative and grounded. I believe you are the expert on your own life — my role is to offer guidance, insight, and tools that help you move forward with intention.

Areas of Focus

I have extensive experience supporting clients with:

Anxiety & Stress Management

Menopause/Perimenopause Mental Health

Couples/Relationship Therapy

Mood Disorders & Emotional Regulation

Trauma & PTSD

Grief and Loss

Women’s Issues

Marital Concerns

Chronic Illness & Mind-Body Stress

Sex Therapy & Intimacy Concerns

Recovery from Sexual Assault or Abuse

I am especially passionate about helping women navigate the emotional weight of caregiving, identity shifts, motherhood, and the often unspoken pressure to “hold it all together.”

My Background

I bring over a decade of clinical experience working in outpatient mental health and substance use settings, including individual and group therapy. I’ve worked with clients at all stages of healing — from crisis stabilization to long-term growth — and have supported individuals involved with CPS, probation, and complex systems of care.

This experience has shaped my belief that healing is not linear, and that progress looks different for everyone. I focus on meeting clients where they are and helping them move at a pace that feels both safe and empowering.

What You Can Expect

Clients often describe my style as calm, grounding, and compassionate, with a balance of validation and gentle challenge. Sessions are conversational and intentional — a space where you can breathe, reflect, and build tools that actually work in real life.

I value authenticity and believe humor can be an important part of healing, even when the work is deep. You don’t need to have the right words or a clear plan — just a willingness to show up.
