I specialize in helping adolescents, adults, and couples that struggle with issues such as depression, anxiety, life changes, trauma, women's issues, gender/sexual identity and neurodivergence.
My name is Savannah Corey (she/her) and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I utilize a person-centered approach to meet clients where they are, and believe we are the expert in our own lives. Therapy should be a place where you feel really safe to talk about anything, and I believe that the relationship between a therapist and client is a partnership where all people involved strive to reach the same goals. As a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, I help clients connect thoughts, feelings, or behaviors to "stuck points" in thoughts processes so that negative thoughts can be reframed.

We all belong to various systems and support systems, such as family systems; community systems; oppressive capitalistic, racist, patriarchal, and ablest systems; and more. Over the span of our lives these systems take a compounding effect on our mental health and quality of life. Building a career, attaining advanced education, establishing a supportive community of family and friends, all requires us to unpack the role of these systems on our lives. This is how we become our authentic selves.
