Cory Sullivan
Cory Sullivan
My name is Cory Sullivan, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I earned my Master's in Social Work degree from the University of Southern California. I have a passion for helping people find their new normal after traumatic injuries and/or chronic illness and have first-hand experience with the grief, and loss of identity that comes with life after a traumatic injury. I take an eclectic approach to helping to clients with anxiety and depression with a mix of different approaches, modalities, and psychoeducation. I focus on letting my clients know that they are not in this alone, despite what their irrational thoughts tell them. I collaborate with clients and let them know that we are on this journey together.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
I feel that I take my time to build rapport in order to understand the whole client. I believe we are an accumulation of experiences across our lifespan and I strive to utilize strength-based skills that have helped you conquer old foes while incorporating new skills and strategies to overcome present obstacles.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I feel that my biggest strength is being personable, helping people identify their own strengths and establishing a life worth living, helping others live a new normal after an injury that caused a permanent disability, and picking up on nonverbal cues that sometimes tell the true feelings of a client and their individual experience.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I have a passion for working with clients from different walks of life. I've enjoyed working with clients with past traumatic experiences and drawing parallels throughout their lifespan with their current level of functioning.

Eclectic
An eclectic approach to therapy means I draw from various methods, like cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral therapy, trauma-focused, and incorporating videos, quotes, and literature or philosophies that will help forge a path to your healing. It’s flexible, allowing me to adapt strategies based on what works best for you. We’ll collaborate to set goals and use the most effective tools to help you grow. This approach considers your whole experience—thoughts, feelings, and background. It’s all about finding the right fit to support your journey without being bogged down by one individual treatment modality.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I like to help clients identify and challenge negative thoughts by finding healthy alternatives. We'll work to improve thought patterns and engage in positive behaviors, to reduce emotional distress and enhance problem-solving.
