Corey Olver, PhD, LPC, MT-BC, ACS

Director of Adjunct Therapy

Biography

There are many different options for therapeutic fields of practice, and for Corey, there are none as rewarding as inpatient psychiatric care, specifically at Northbrook. This is because Northbrook is different in its prioritization of therapeutic services as a central feature of treatment for inpatients. Here, we take therapy seriously, and the robustness of the Adjunct Therapy team is proof.

AT is comprised of a variety of disciplines including clinical mental health counseling and psychology, music therapy, art therapy, recreation therapy, marriage and family therapy, substance abuse counseling, and more. Each therapist is skilled in their area of practice and passionate about working in inpatient psychiatric practice.

To best serve the needs of her staff and patients and to ensure the highest quality of clinical care, Corey mobilizes learning from her PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision in her role as Director. Her multi-faceted career has been devoted to helping mental health clients in a variety of venues and modules including counseling, music therapy, healthcare administration, and clinical supervision. 

Corey is a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers and has provided multidisciplinary training and supervision in MI for clinicians in the U.S. and Canada. Corey has presented at conferences and organizations on advanced counseling skills, creative arts therapy leadership, burnout and self-care, mindfulness, and meditative labyrinth walking. Given her passion for culturally informed and trauma responsive practice, Corey currently leads the trauma-informed care training for all staff at Northbrook.
