Testimonials

Astrid

"Ms. McGinnis was so much more than my middle school counselor, she was a warm, welcoming friendly face everyday when I needed it. She always made me feel welcomed and comfortable and was truly interested in me as a person. She was supportive, sincere and always interested in my happiness and well being. I could go to her at any time and know she was totally focused on me. She supported me both in and out of school and is overall just an amazing person. Definitely a teacher I will remember for a lifetime."

"Corey is an amazing ally. When my child struggled with dysphoria in middle school, Corey went above and beyond to provide support resources. She is an accepting and affirming person and always trying to learn more."

Emory

"Corey's authenticity is deeply rooted in her passion for mental health and helping others. Counseling can be intimidating and I typically struggle with anxiety in one on one situations. She was comforting and confident in her words. Her home is inviting and has a unique Zen appeal that is really calming. My experience with her was unconventional in the best way and I will definitely be returning for more sessions in the future."

Marco

"I saw Corey for the first time the other day and was definitely nervous since it was my first time trying therapy. My worries were quickly dismissed when we met and started talking. She was very calm and professional from the beginning. Even though it was our first session, it was easy to talk about the reasons why I wanted to start going in the first place. Usually I am very uncomfortable talking about that stuff, but with her it was natural."

"Working with Corey in the school setting I saw how she was constantly advocating for and empowering students. She worked to create opportunities for students to connect in meaningful ways. Corey has a focus on equity and works to give marginalized young people a safe place and a voice."

Nicole

"Discussing uncomfortable issues are always a challenge, however, when talking to Corey I always feel more at ease. Her warm nature and disposition has allowed me to open up comfortably and better understand my challenges. After my sessions, I tend to feel more relaxed and confident in my abilities to move forward with the challenges I face. Thank you, Corey, for your help."

Keeghan

"I consider Corey one of the most inspirational humans in my life, as she embodies what it means to be an ally, dignified survivor, and evolving-accountable woman. Corey holds an energy in her art, therapy and friendship that is equally grounding and empowering; giving those that join her space the pleasure and opportunity to see through smoke and mirrors. She's on a mission to cultivate healing for the earth, others and herself."

"If our highest purpose is to support each other's journey in reaching our potential, then Corey embodies that ideal. A truth-seeker, trail blazer, empath, and agent of change, I have had the honor of working alongside Corey for seven years. Throughout our adventures together in the helping field, I have witnessed Corey share her highest purpose with children and families in the community. Working with Corey is akin to watching O'Keefe paint: soulful, masterful, and meaningful. Her counseling technique combines skill, creativity, and years of experience, through the lenses of trauma-centered and solution-focused methodologies, as she supports the human voyage to provide healing and growth. It has been a privilege knowing Corey. Thank you for being a light, inspiration, and teacher. I hope we can collaborate again in the future."
