Cory Sullivan, LCSW
About me
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 focus on letting my clients know that they are not in this alone, despite what their irrational thoughts tell them.
Throughout my life, I've navigated the complexities of establishing a new normal after a traumatic injury and grappling with the impact they have on mental health and overall well-being. These firsthand experiences have instilled empathy and understanding that I bring to every therapeutic encounter.
I am committed to creating a safe, supportive, and empowering space where individuals can explore their experiences, process their emotions, and cultivate resilience on their journey toward healing. I strive to utilize strength-based skills that have helped you conquer old foes while incorporating new skills and strategies to overcome present obstacles.
