ABOUT CORY NEWELL
Strategic Spiritual Leader | Board Certified Clinical Chaplain | Narrative SpecialistI believe that every individual deserves a \"Safe Haven\"—a space where their story is heard, their dignity is preserved, and their spirit is nourished. As a retired U.S. Navy Chaplain and dually Board-Certified Clinical Chaplain (BCCI & NAVAC), I have dedicated my career to providing expert spiritual care across the spectrum of human experience, from the high-stakes environment of military service to the clinical complexity of modern healthcare.Clinical Excellence & Mental Health AdvocacyCurrently serving at Hoag Hospital, I provide ethical, clinical spiritual direction with a specialized focus on mental health and pastoral counseling. My practice is rooted in the APC National Standards, ensuring that every patient encounter is guided by professional autonomy, clinical rigor, and deep empathy. With over 25 years of experience, I specialize in nervous system regulation, PTSD-informed care, and fostering \"Somatic Buffer Periods\" for healing in high-acuity settings.The Art of Celebration & ConnectionBeyond the clinical setting, I am an innovative pastoral entrepreneur. As the founder of Rev. Cory Newell and Associates and \"Virginia’s #1 Wedding Pastor,\" I have had the distinct privilege of officiating over 600 weddings annually. My work here is an extension of my chaplaincy: creating meaningful, inclusive, and memorable sacraments that empower couples to celebrate their love with authenticity.Leadership & MissionWhether I am managing a team of associates, directing operations for Commonwealth Pest Control, or providing end-of-life care, my mission remains the same: to foster hope, healing, and connection. I leverage a unique blend of strategic thinking, branding expertise, and clinical depth to advocate for spiritual health as a vital component of the human experience.Credentials: M.Div in Chaplaincy, M.A. in Religion, BCC (BCCI & NAVAC)Specialties: Clinical Pastoral Counseling, Crisis Intervention, PTSD Support, Marriage & Family Sacraments, and Interdisciplinary Leadership.
