About me

Greetings! Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Corey McSweeney. I am from Brooklyn, New York, but I currently live upstate.

I am licensed clinical therapist (LCSW) in New York with 8 years of professional work experience. I currently work in private practice after previously working at a county mental health clinic. My time there was challenging but incredibly rewarding! Working for a community clinic offers many unique experiences that helped me grow as both a professional and as a person.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), but I am also certified in two other areas of treatment:

- International Gaming Disorder Counselor (IGDC). Although a relatively new diagnosis, video gaming disorders have become prevalent with both children and adults. If you or someone you care about has any issues with video games then I would be happy to share more with you!
- Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP). Anxiety can be a complex issue, yet it is a common diagnosis that many, including myself, face. Whether this is the main issue or a symptom of something else, we will work together to face it!

In addition to these areas, I have vast experience in helping clients with the following:
- Generalized Stress/Anxiety
- Social Anxiety
- Depression
- Panic Disorder
- Anger Management
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD)
- Conflict Resolution
- Self-Harm
- Suicidal Thoughts/Behavior
- Motivation
- Self Esteem/Confidence
- Relationship Issues
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Bipolar Disorder
- Phobias
- Grief
- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Borderline Personality Disorder

Please note, while I do have experience with the following:
- Eating Disorders
- Alcohol/Substance Abuse
- Medication Management
- Psychotic Disorders
- Military Trauma
- Domestic Violence
- Relationship/Marriage Counseling
- Gambling Disorder
- Autism Spectrum Disorder
- Parenting Issues
- Other Types of Personality Disorders
I strongly encourage you to seek a therapist with a specialized treatment approach for these issues. It would be a great disservice if I attempted to help you without having the relevant experience, knowledge and training required.

My approach to treatment is simple. First and foremost, I believe that having a rapport between us is the most important factor in the therapy process! Without it there is a higher likelihood of distrust, poor communication, and misunderstanding. Therapy can be a very difficult and uncomfortable experience for some. My ultimate goal is to make your time with me as comfortable, productive, rewarding, and even as fun as possible!

You are the expert of your story! My role in this journey is to guide you and use my knowledge and expertise to help you achieve your goals. Always remember this: progress is not a straight line. There will be ups and downs, twists and turns, and detours along the way. You may, at times, feel like you are failing. However, the way I see it, if you are trying you are never failing.

I very much look forward to working together!
