About me
I’m Tricia Corso; a therapist, nature lover, woman, nurturer, seeker of adventure and knowledge.
After graduating with my master's in social work while living in New York (my home state!), I realized that I had checked off all of the “right” boxes up until that point but I wasn’t sure what I was “supposed” to do next. I was interviewing and applying for jobs but they didn’t excite me, and would barely cover my expenses month to month. I realized that I wouldn't be able to live the life I wanted to in New York so I started looking into positions in Denver, CO. I had close friends that moved there and when I had visited them, I discovered that a healthier lifestyle existed; centered around the outdoors with less stress. I received a job offer in Denver so I made the extremely difficult but exciting decision to move; leaving my family, friends, and everything I knew.
It was scary and nerve-racking but I knew it was something I needed to do. I knew that I was never going to be truly happy living the lifestyle that I had grown up thinking that I was “supposed to” live; I was ready to discover who I was without the external noise of other people's opinions & expectations and wanted to have space to focus on what made me happy.
I pushed through a lot of discomfort and fear of the unknown so I could explore what it was that I needed to feel fulfilled. I worked on not getting caught up in the future and the what ifs (hello fear of failure!) and I paid attention to what I wanted in the present.
My mantra of “everything is temporary '' got me through a lot of decisions. I realized that making a decision didn’t always mean it’s final and rather than getting stuck on trying to figure out whether or not it would be the right decision, in order to create a false sense of safety by feeling in control, I listened to what I wanted in that moment and followed through with it- trusting that I could work through any potential hiccups along the way.
That time in my life helped me get to where I am now; living a more aligned, meaningful life. I made a change to be more honest, communicate more openly, and intentionally choose where I put my energy. More recently, I made the decision to leave my job(s) to start my own private practice and now have more freedom to pursue my passion.
A huge reason why I was able to learn all of this was through work in my own therapy; and I want to hold a container for my clients to learn strategies, set boundaries, and deepen connections with themselves and the people around them. I want them to understand that when they start questioning the "shoulds" and "supposed to’s" and truly follow what's in their heart- they will feel relief and freedom.
I’m passionate about supporting women that are going through similar pain points that I've experienced so that I can help them skip some unnecessary steps.
