About me

“If you have a dream, don’t just sit there. Gather courage to believe that you can succeed and leave no stone unturned to make it a reality.” ― Roopleen

Hello!
I am Dr. Courtney Y. Washington (Doctor C), and I encourage you to invite change in your life. Welcome to taking the first step into a brighter future for yourself and for your child: I commend you.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I have been providing counseling services for over 10 years to many children, adolescents, teens, adults, and families. I enjoy working with a diverse population, and I am able to provide counseling services to fit the individual need of the client served. I have worked in the specialty areas of: depression, stress & anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, self-esteem, anger management, school, behavioral and defiant issues, and family conflict. My primary focus is to first build rapport, establish desired goals, and work with you and your child to achieve those goals. Through the achievement of these goals, I will work to diminish any worry, stress, or anxiety that may be faced and will assist in building coping and relaxation skills.

It takes time to achieve your goals, and I am here to work with you throughout your needed time frame, and will work to give you all the needed tools to help you and your child remain successful after counseling is complete.

I am looking forward to meeting and working with you and your child. Here is to a great and bright future ahead!

-Doctor C

Written on Jan 13, 2023 after therapy with Courtney for 2 years and 9 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, grief, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue

Patient, conscientious and considerate. Listens for understanding, not just to respond. Nonjudgmental and open to considering all aspects of a problem. I’m very satisfied.

Love Dr. C. I’ve been a client for years now and she is my backbone. I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety my whole life. I am so greatful to have her on my team- I’ve never felt as connected and relaxed as I do in my life now. It’s something that’s invaluable to me.

Dr. Washington is a wonderful counselor. She completely understands me and helps me talk through things I need to talk about. Unfortunately, my time with her ran out before I could get a chance to say goodbye. So, I’m writing this review to tell people how amazing she is. We had an appointment scheduled for this week, today, actually. I would give her 10/10 stars if I could, though. I suffered from a lot of bad things, but in the time that we worked together, I began to see a lot of progress.

Dr Washington felt like a close friend right away. She’s such a great listener and always checks in on me when I get distant. Always ready with a thoughtful response even when I would spill multiple pages of messages about my feelings in the middle of the night.

Written on Dec 03, 2019 after therapy with Courtney for 5 months on issues concerning relationship

Dr. Washington helped my wife and I get to a point I almost lost hope in achieving. Our love is much stronger now than before, and more importantly l, we understand each other better and are constantly looking for ways to better ourselves and each other...not find fault or tear one another down. We owe a lot of this success to Dr. Washington

Dr. Washington so far has been prompt courteous and respectful of my needs. She seems to understand me and although we've only been in counseling for a couple of weeks it seems to have helped me already.
