Your story matters and I would love to hear it.
Hi, I’m Danyelle Kora (She/Her), a student internship counsellor with the lovely folks at Burn Bright. I’m so glad you’re here. As your counsellor, I believe in creating a welcoming space where you can feel truly seen and understood. My diverse background in psychology, music, education, and counselling helps me connect with people from all walks of life. Whether you're seeking support for yourself or your youth, my experience working with families has taught me that each person's path makes perfect sense for them. I'll meet you where you're at, with genuine empathy and without judgement, as you explore what healing means to you. My commitment to learning ensures you receive care that's both warm and effective.
What makes my perspective unique is my personal path: as someone who has served in the military and navigated through various professional spaces, as a proud member of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, I have insight into the challenges and victories you might be experiencing. Further, my personal journey with neurodivergence and mental health has ignited my passion for supporting others who navigate these struggles. As someone who has felt the loneliness of being misheard and misunderstood, as if the world were speaking a different language on occasion, it’s my goal to ensure that our space is a space where you feel truly seen, heard, understood, and accepted. I'm here to walk alongside you as you discover your own inner strength and resilience against the systems that we’re fighting.
Beyond the therapeutic space, I hold a deep appreciation for life's experiences. On one hand, Hiking, music, and dance are a few things that energize me and keep me feeling bubbly. On the other, board games, books, and cards bring my mind and body to a different calmer state. I love life and view my surroundings with wonderment, awe, and gratitude, eager to experience more. Like the varied paths I explore - from mountain trails to dance floors, from solitary reading to shared games with friends - I recognize that your path to wellness might wind through different terrains. I look forward to witnessing your journey, walking along your side in solidarity and support.
