About Corry Bulkley, LCPC

Choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision. While credentials and treatment approaches are important, feeling comfortable with the person sitting across from you is essential for your mental well-being.

As a licensed clinical professional counselor with over a decade of experience, I help clients who often arrive feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or trapped in patterns they understand intellectually but have struggled to change.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and intentional. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel heard, understood, and actively supported. You don't need to know exactly what to say or have everything figured out before we begin. Together, we'll explore what you're experiencing, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and determine what feels most important to address.

I believe therapy should be individualized because no single approach works for everyone. Depending on your needs, our work may incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), DBT-informed strategies, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation.

Some sessions may focus on developing practical coping skills, while others involve exploring deeper emotional patterns, processing past experiences, or understanding different parts of yourself. Our work is collaborative, and we'll move at a pace that respects your readiness, especially when addressing trauma.

Emotional well-being is intricately connected to every aspect of your life. Factors such as chronic illness, pain, sleep, stress, relationships, hormones, medical experiences, and feelings of being dismissed or misunderstood can all significantly impact your mental well-being

I consider the connection between physical and emotional health throughout our work together. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms or diagnoses, I want to understand the broader context of your experiences, including how your health, relationships, stress, and life circumstances may influence your emotional well-being.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy offers a way to better understand the different parts of yourself, including those that criticize, protect, or carry painful experiences. This work can help foster greater self-compassion, emotional awareness, and a deeper understanding of your internal experiences.

EMDR may be incorporated to help process distressing experiences and beliefs that continue to affect your present life. The timing and pace of trauma processing are always determined collaboratively, with attention to safety and readiness.

I also incorporate CBT, DBT-informed strategies, mindfulness, and practical nervous system regulation skills to help you navigate anxiety, strengthen emotional regulation, develop healthier boundaries, and respond to stress more effectively.

Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy spending time with my two beagles and husband, being near the water, reading, cooking, and traveling. I value humor, authenticity, and meaningful connections with the people in my life. I believe warmth, honesty, and genuine human connection are just as important in the therapy room as they are outside of it.
