Accepting Clients - Every emotion we feel tells us two lies when it arrives. The first is: “You will feel this way forever.” The second is: “This feeling is who you really are.” Our emotions are designed to motivate our behavior, but the pain-related ones trigger our thoughts in ways that disrupt our lives. Rumination, self-hatred, and hopelessness are conditioned adaptions to the specific circumstances you have lived through. They are not reality itself. You are not broken, damaged, or faulty. You’re having the expected, predictable reaction a human has when they go through something that overwhelms their ability to manage it.

Imagine what it would feel like to finally be able to let go of the constant worrying, suspicion, anger, and resentment.
You are at your threshold and something has to give. Maybe you have been struggling for years, or maybe you have new stress that feels unmanageable. You've tried changing your diet, journaling, talking it out, and nothing seems to change. It may seem as though things will never be different in your life and relationships. Yet, after years of experience working with others just like you, here is the truth: lasting change is possible. My clients come to me because they want a shift and are seeking support as they turn onto a new path. Together, we will explore your thoughts and feelings, using a relational and intentional approach.

Struggling to reach your goals? Suffering emotionally and searching for relief? Have habits that you don’t like? Are you having a hard time finding hope and a reason to carry on? I’ll address that last one first: I can tell you that yes! There is hope. Sometimes hope hard to see. My job is to bring that hope back into view for you. I can’t give 100% guarantees, but I have a lot of evidence that therapy can help relieve depression and anxiety. I would be happy to discuss this evidence and how it can apply to you! You deserve someone in your corner who will listen carefully, and understand your feelings.

I believe all parts of you hold wisdom. I am here to help you discover the resources you have within and around you, so that you may better move toward the life you want. This may look like learning to hear the wisdom and underlying needs that are communicated by your anxiety or body tensions. Or it may look like acknowledging, grieving, and moving past trauma responses that once served you but are now keeping you stuck. Maybe you seek more connectedness with yourself, your relationships, your work, your sense of purpose, or your spirituality.

After working with patients for over 30 years, I have come to believe that setting clear therapeutic goals and establishing a working partnership of trust and commitment are keys to success. My aim is to balance acceptance, compassion, and validation with the need to make sustainable changes. Learning self-regulation and life skills are priorities. Developing effective action plans in a safe and non-judgmental environment also facilitate positive outcomes. I look for every opportunity to collaborate with other providers if my patients request this and are seeking a team approach.

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.

Specialties: relationship intimacy issues and separation/divorce; religious trauma; men's work focused on anger and sexual compulsivity; spiritual questions; parenting, career, or creative pressures; and grief, loss, or life transitions.
Tired of coping? Feeling unseen in the relationships that matter most? Carrying old hurts or self-doubt? Longing for more balance, connection, meaning? When life feels smaller than it should, many turn to therapy for support. In my view, therapy is less about fixing what’s broken and more about getting honest, paying attention to what’s not working, and understanding the patterns, stories, and emotional truths that shape how you live and relate. I work with individuals and couples in a collaborative, depth-oriented approach, helping you live a life in deeper alignment with what matters most to you.
