I have been working in the court system since 1993. I earned my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology in 1999 and was licensed as a psychologist in 2000. Regular training with the American Academy of Forensic Psychology helps keep my skills up to date. Evaluations I complete for the court include Child Custody and Psychological, Specific Forensic Psychological, Fitness to Stand Trial, and Criminal Responsibility. FOID reinstatement evaluations as well as those for DCFS are also completed by me. I complete evaluations in several county courts including Boone, DeKalb, Kane, Kendall, Lee, Ogle, Whiteside, and Winnebago. Pre-employment, fitness for duty, and promotional examinations are also completed for local police and fire departments. Fitness for duty evaluations are also completed for local companies. Braden Counseling Center opened in 2002 and has been providing services to individuals with different challenges with evidence-based treatments since that time.

“I’ve been working with Dr. Kori regularly for a few years now and she has made an incredible difference in my life. Her approach is relaxed, and honest, insightful, and genuinely supportive. I always feel heard, understood, and encouraged—never judged.
She has a unique ability to gently guide me toward clarity, even in moments when I feel stuck or overwhelmed. She has led me to greater self-acceptance and self-care. Her perspective has helped me grow emotionally and mentally in ways I didn’t expect, and our sessions are something I truly look forward to.
If you’re looking for a therapist who combines deep empathy with real, actionable support, I can’t recommend Dr. Kori highly enough. She has helped me navigate some challenging times, cheered me on during periods of growth and I feel stronger and more grounded because of our work together.”
