Courtney is caring and creates a space for me to express myself freely. She responds thoughtfully and provides supportive, constructive, and motivating feedback. I am grateful for her patience and support she has provided as I navigate through my process.

So far Courtney has been great. She’s easy to talk to and gives me a better understanding of the things I’m dealing with. Back for the second time with her and looking forward to all her help.

I have had two sessions with Courtney so far and she’s great! I couldn’t ask for a better therapist. She listens to me and helps me understand myself and my past. Outside of sessions she responds fairly quickly. So glad I got her as my first therapist ever!

I’m not someone who easily opens up but I am able to talk to her like I’ve known her for years. She’s helped me through some of my more private struggles I’m not likely to share with others. She validated my feelings and gives me advice on how to communicate better with my loved ones.

I have only met with Courtney three times thus far, but I absolutely adore her. I finally find a therapist that fits me and my style and it feels so good! We are still getting into the swing of things, but I know her and I will achieve a lot working together!

Courtney is very, very good. She is extremely attentive to what my issues are and allows me to guide the agenda. Yet, when she has a point, she makes it clear, and that is very helpful. She helps me make some important mental connections through open-ended conversation. I am much appreciative.
