I’m glad you’re here — taking the step to look for support shows your strength, and I’d be honored to walk with you. I work with adults, children, and teens who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply, life. In our work together, we’ll create a warm, collaborative space where you’re heard, seen, and your goals matter.

My aim is to support people to live a present, engaged and fulfilled life. My clients feel stressed out to the point of feeling collapse; unworthy of love, overwhelmed and unheard. Many have PTSD from abuse /neglect as a child, impacts of generational/cultural/religious patterns, or traumatic events. My clients symptoms show up as anxiety, changes in mood, inability to regulate and/or navigate life. unresolved trauma, fear, depression, anger, grief, physical pain and chronic health issues.

My name is Corey Tolliver, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked with various populations and have a diverse background including people with trauma, crisis, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship problems, and fatherhood.

I am a double board-certified Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience across the continuum of psychiatric care, including acute psychiatric emergencies, inpatient and outpatient psychiatry, geriatric mental health, intellectual and developmental disability services, and healthcare management. I hold a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and am currently completing my Doctorate, reflecting my ongoing commitment to clinical excellence, evidence-based practice, and lifelong learning.

Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals and families navigating a wide range of psychiatric conditions, from situational anxiety and depression to severe and persistent mental illness. My clinical experience includes extensive work with schizophrenia and psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma-related conditions, and mood instability across the lifespan. I am particularly experienced in caring for geriatric patients, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and patients with complex medication regimens requiring careful evaluation, simplification, and long-term stabilization.

I also work closely with college-aged patients and adults who are navigating academic pressure, career transitions, family dynamics, identity development, and the cumulative stressors that can emerge during periods of high responsibility or change. Many of my patients are high-functioning individuals who appear “put together” on the outside but struggle internally with anxiety, rumination, intrusive thoughts, emotional dysregulation, or burnout. Others are managing chronic psychiatric illness while striving to maintain independence, relationships, and quality of life.

Starting therapy can be intimidating — I hope to help you feel less alone. As a licensed clinical social worker, my approach is grounded in meeting you where you are and helping you move toward empowerment. I support people who feel weighed down by stress or self-doubt to find more calm, confidence, and balance in their lives.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Addiction Counselor, I believe that healing begins when people feel truly seen, heard, and accepted. I am passionate about helping clients move through the effects of trauma and addiction with compassion, curiosity, and hope. I strive to create a space that feels warm, supportive, and free of judgment, where you can show up exactly as you are. Together, we can work toward understanding your experiences, building on your strengths, and creating lasting change.
