Cory’s passion for mental health began to bud during his time in college through the organic connections he made with people experiencing homelessness on the streets of Nashville. Years (and a career) later, the passion bloomed as he transitioned out of the music industry. Thanks to the support of his own counselor, he learned to cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness, healthier boundaries, and a holistic grasp of his own value—and values. This ongoing process of healing and growth has driven him to help others explore how to own, tell, and even transform their stories at Austin & Olive Counseling.

Through an integrative, person-centered, and holistic counseling approach, Cory equips and empowers his clients to confidently move toward their own goals. His endless curiosity and desire to learn from and connect with others drives him to take clients from all walks of life: children, teenagers, individuals, and couples.

From relationship issues, family dysfunction, difficult transitions and symptoms of anxiety or depression; to emotional literacy, relational tune-ups, spirituality, and exploring the problems you can’t quite put your finger on, Cory genuinely desires to walk alongside you in your healing journey.
