CORY HRUSHKA

PhD, CCS, DST

CEO, Registered Senior Psychologist

As the CEO and a Registered Psychologist, I lead our organization in providing compassionate care to those dealing with loss and trauma. I oversee operations, develop strategic initiatives, and ensure high-quality services. Leveraging my psychology background, I actively mentor and supervise our staff, including Master’s level practicum student therapists, provisional psychologists as well as consulting with the registered psychologists. I also collaborate with the leadership team to support and investigate new projects, contributing content and expertise to enhance our centre's impact in grief and trauma support.

As a psychologist, I specialize in couples and sex therapy-related issues and assessment services (primarily looking at parenting psychological assessments, custody and access assessments and forensic components). Occasionally, I am asked by the media to comment or provide support on current topics or to do presentations in the community.
