01 · Who Corey works with
Corey lists 5 specialisms and 3 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Corey chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Corey's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
As a licensed therapist in Virginia, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes, with a deep commitment to addressing depression, anxiety, stress, and self-esteem challenges. My practice centers on creating affirming spaces where Black and LGBTQ+ individuals can explore personal growth, healing, and self-love.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in understanding the unique experiences of marginalized communities, offering compassionate guidance that honors individual identities and lived experiences. I focus on helping clients break through isolation, build resilience, and develop meaningful strategies for emotional wellness.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I work collaboratively with clients to cultivate self-compassion, manage challenging emotions, and develop sustainable coping skills. My goal is to support you in recognizing your inherent strength and potential for transformative personal growth.

03 · How Corey works
These are the clinical methods Corey lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Corey's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Corey runs a session.
04 · What happens next
Corey practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Corey's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Corey at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Corey is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Corey.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
