Hi, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor that graduated from Mercer University in Atlanta, Ga. I have 11 years of experience and I enjoy working with clients who are looking for an alternative approach to health and wellness. I have a certification in Somatic Experiencing which is a mind/body approach to healing trauma such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other symptoms. I am currently working towards certification in Inner Relationship Focusing (IRF), a parts work approach similar to Internal Family Systems (IFS).

First session

In our session we I will get to know your concerns and goals for therapy. I am curious if you have done counseling before. If so, I would like to know what modality you think the therapist was trained in and what positive tools you have.

Strengths

My greatest strengths is carefully and compassionately listening to a clients goals and then collaborating with them to achieve those goals.

Ideal clients

I love working with people of various ages, and who are open to learning how your own bodies know how to resolve the stress systems that bring you into counseling. I will teach you how to listen to your body in new ways in order for you to discover how it can heal. I love helping clients discover the wisdom of their body.

Today’s session was grounding and honestly so affirming. I felt truly seen and understood in a way that made it easy for me to open up. Learning to ‘say hello’ to the parts of me that are afraid or hidden {especially my inner child} and also to the part of me that stays strong and functional really hit home. It helped me see myself with more compassion. I left feeling hopeful, supported, and ready for more!

I’ve only had one session with Cory so far, but it was a very positive experience. He was attentive, easy to talk to, and asked thoughtful questions that showed genuine understanding. Even in a single session, he created a calm, safe space and offered insights that made me feel heard and understood. I’m looking forward to continuing with him and exploring things further — excellent first impression.
