Hi I'm Corrie Brickey. I’m passionate about creating a safe, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their emotions, build resilience, and work toward healing. With 12 years of experience as a social worker, I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who are navigating depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, and relationship challenges. My approach is rooted in empathy and compassion, believing that everyone has the capacity for growth and change. I am committed to walking alongside my clients, empowering them to develop coping strategies, deepen their self-awareness, and improve their relationships with themselves and others. As a DBT-certified therapist, I use evidence-based practices to help clients manage intense emotions, improve interpersonal effectiveness, and create meaningful, balanced lives. Whether you’re struggling with overwhelming emotions, feeling stuck, or seeking a fresh perspective, I am here to provide support that is understanding, genuine, and tailored to your unique needs. You don’t have to go through this alone—together, we can find the path toward healing and wellness. We can create individualized skills that you can apply to your everyday life.
I like to begin by talking about what your life could look like after treatment. I call it working on your 'life worth living.' Everyone has their own dreams and goals, and together, we’ll figure out a plan to help you get there. For some people, this might take a few months, and for others, it might take a bit longer—and that’s completely okay.
The relationship we build during our sessions is incredibly powerful and can be transformative. From both my experience as a therapist and as someone who has benefited from therapy, I know firsthand how impactful this connection can be. I believe that self-awareness and self-acceptance are key to living a fulfilling life. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable and understood. Together, we’ll work on a treatment plan that feels right for you, focusing on the tools and strategies that will help you feel more confident and independent, with the eventual goal of being able to navigate life without ongoing therapy. I take a personalized approach, tailoring our sessions to meet your unique needs and goals. This includes developing coping skills, building resilience, and encouraging personal growth in a way that’s meaningful to you.
I work with both young people and adults who are going through tough times, whether it’s feeling low, losing motivation, battling anxiety, or dealing with heavier stuff like self-harm, thoughts of suicide, or relationship struggles. I totally get that life can be overwhelming, and I’m here to help you get through it. Together, we’ll explore some practical tools—like CBT and DBT—that can help you break free from negative thinking and build healthier ways to cope. My goal is to help you heal from the past, get unstuck from unhealthy patterns, and find your way toward a brighter, more hopeful future.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of therapy that builds on the foundations of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), but it’s more focused on helping you deal with difficult emotions, manage stress, and improve your relationships. I work with people who struggle with emotional ups and downs, teaching them skills to better cope with tough feelings, communicate more effectively with others, and stay present in the moment. By using DBT, you can learn to keep your emotions in check, strengthen your connections with others, and create a more meaningful life. I am a DBT Certified Therapist (DBT-C).
Over the years, through lots of practice and learning, I’ve really come to understand how powerful mindfulness can be in everyday life. I’d love to share some simple techniques with you that can help you stay in the moment, ease stress, and boost your overall sense of well-being
As a Social Worker, I believe it's really important to understand what you're great at. We all have areas we want to grow in, but by focusing on your strengths, we can work together to create a plan that builds on those strengths. This way, we can make real progress towards your treatment goals, at a pace that feels right for you.
