Through therapy, I help people who seek connection. I help people identify connections between past and present relationships, their body, and brain or nervous system. Understanding how these interact and influence one another helps empower people to take control of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Working with a counselor who understands the anatomy and biology of the brain is critical during therapy. Identifying when and why specialized neural systems are activated helps people gain self-awareness, prepare for action, and implement change.

Hello. I am Dr. Courtney Dinsmore. I help individuals and couples who want better relationships so that they feel content, happy and fulfilled. Sometimes we loose our equilibrium. In your life, this may look a few different ways. You may feel that you are clearly communicating what you want and need, but people don’t seem to understand you. You become angry over minor things that did not used to bother you. It is more difficult to relate to your partner or engage in the intimacy you once had. Things that used to satisfy you no longer do. You love your family, but wish you were closer.

It is frustrating, confusing and lonely when we feel like we understand our struggles intellectually, but feel completely incapable of making the changes we most want.
If you've done talk therapy before and felt like it was maybe helpful, but are looking to go deeper so that you can have the job, relationships and life you're truly wanting, I'm the therapist for you.
I use a body-oriented approach to therapy. We can read all the books, understand the theories, and know where our patterns come from, but change truly happens when we're able to connect to our internal resources and process through the stress our bodies are holding.
