Who We Are

CoreQuest was founded by Karen Kral and Mark Lersch, a married couple who are psychotherapists, licensed in the states of New Mexico and Colorado.  Karen and Mark have a passion for sharing the power of personal fulfillment through connection with one's core self. 

Mark and Karen help individuals, couples and groups realize their potential through facilitation of a variety of fun and innovative methods including internal dialog, the practice of present-moment awareness and group process.  Most of these processes are designed to be "taken with you" so that when you leave a workshop or end a phone session, you have the tools you need to take care of yourself and to reach your goals.

Some CoreQuest workshops are indoors, while others provide opportunities for exploring the outdoors in New Mexico or Colorado.

What Others Say...

The work I have done with Karen and Mark was nothing less than LIFE CHANGING. I gained new perspective in myself and learned how to re-parent a sad and lost inner-child within me. If you are dealing with addiction, trauma, or just looking for a more positive life perspective then look no further.  Karen and Mark are amazing, compassionate therapists who will make a difference in your life.

 What Others Say...

The Inner Bonding work I have done with Karen has been one of the most powerful transformations of my life.  I am learning, it seems for the first time, to become the loving adult to my little girl and it has been miraculous in my life. I feel a sense of self-acceptance and self-worth because I am attending to my feelings and no longer abandoning myself.  I am very grateful.

The World We See

What Others Say...

I came to know Karen Kral by needing to take time to travel deeper within myself to search out what was driving my addictive behaviors and I must say the time spent was life changing. I was amazed at her intuition and ability to take me to a deeper level of connection with my authentic self and God. I continue to use the tools she equipped me with to stay on the path of happy, joyous and free. Thank you Karen, you are a gift to the recovery community.

What Others Say...

Mark has been my coach going on two years now, his assistance was invaluable in my successfully completing a year long writing  project.  He is currently assisting me with marketing a program.  Mark's presence serves as a catalyst for focusing on solutions and moving forward, offering that extra "oomph."  He is gifted at illuminating people's life purpose.  He listens to what I am saying and able to read between the lines to hear the voice of the soul.  His skills as a life and spiritual coach and as a therapist are wide ranging, working diligently to produce favorable results.  Our collaboration is synergistic, allowing for what needs to happen to unfold. He trusts the collaborative process implicitly. I recommend him highly!
