Operations Director | AFCC-Informed Family Systems Therapist
Raphael Corley serves as Operations Director for Family Advocacy Center, now part of Connections Counseling, where he specializes in domestic litigation therapy, high-conflict divorce, custody disputes, and reunification services. His work is centered on supporting families involved in court proceedings by providing structured, neutral, and clinically sound interventions that address complex relational dynamics while aligning with legal expectations.
With over a decade of experience in reunification and court-involved family systems, Raphael works extensively with children, adolescents, and parents navigating high-conflict environments, including cases involving parental alienation, co-parenting breakdowns, behavioral concerns, and communication dysfunction. He maintains a balanced and objective approach, helping all parties move toward accountability, stability, and improved functioning while prioritizing the best interests of the child.
Raphael's clinical approach is direct, organized, and outcomes-driven. He uses evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing, and structured problem-solving interventions. His work focuses on identifying maladaptive patterns, improving emotional regulation, strengthening communication, and implementing practical strategies that translate into real-world behavioral change.
He is experienced in working alongside attorneys, court systems, and external professionals, and understands the importance of maintaining clear boundaries between therapeutic services and legal processes. Raphael provides thorough, objective documentation and maintains a high standard of professionalism to ensure that his work can withstand legal scrutiny when necessary.
Raphael also brings a background in military service, which contributes to his ability to operate effectively in high-pressure environments and manage complex interpersonal situations with discipline, clarity, and composure.
