About Us

Our mission is to guide our clients through their challenging situations by engaging in open and honest dialogue in a safe environment. We are committed to helping our clients increase their self-esteem, change their behavior, to overcome their personal or relationship struggles, while maintaining a non-judgmental attitude.

A Bit About Therapy

We implement effective psychotherapy methods to instill self-understanding among clients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations.

It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the client and counselor alike.

But in the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results.

I am a graduate of Western Michigan University with my Masters of social Work and Graduate certificate in Alcohol and Drug Abuse. I also hold my Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor Certification (CAADC).

I have experience working with individuals who have struggled with mental health and substance use concerns. In regard to substance use, I have over 4 years of experience working within co-occurring programs to not only address one’s substance use but also their mental health and the relation between the two. I have worked with individuals as young as 13 years old. I recently have been attending trainings in Military and First Responder treatment and am a preferred provider on the Star Behavioral Health website for military personnel.

Welcome. My name is Courtney and I am a Limited Licensed Social Worker. I specialize in teens who are beginning to struggle with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. As a young therapist, I can provide a sense of comfort and understanding to young people that is both validating and empowering. I believe each person is extraordinarily unique and deserves treatment that mirrors that. I offer a safe, non-judgmental setting where all humans can express themselves freely.

I will guide each person towards finding their true voice, feeling more comfortable in their skin, and uprooting any blocks to growth. Along with teens, I also work with kids and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, or low self-esteem. My goal is to help whoever comes into my office evolve into the person they have always desired to be.
