Get to know Cory
Why did you decide to become a counselor?
To assist others through their life challenges in a non-judgemental and neutral setting.
What types of clients do you work with best?
Those who are eager to work on their goals.
What type of clients are you most excited to work with?
I have a diverse experience and am excited to work with any new clients.
What’s one thing you wish all clients knew?
Therapy isn't what you see on TV where you sit on a couch and talk while I take notes out of view. It's more interactive and engaging than that.
Why did you choose to practice at Thriveworks?
The opportunity to continue to grow clinically.
What inspires you?
Seeing others rush to aid in time of need.
What can clients expect in their first session with you?
A more casual conversation where the ultimate goal is to get to know one another better.
What do you want to accomplish with an individual in their first session?
To better get to know the client.
What should clients know about you before scheduling a first counseling session?
I am a more laid back clinician and will likely come across that way. The initial goal is to get to know one another.
What do you do for fun/on your time off?
This varies depending on the season. I do small woodworking things, kayaking, video games. Whatever grabs me on the day.
What’s one thing about you that defines you (non-professional)?
My friends will tell you that I tend to be sarcastic, but am a very caring person.
