My name is Courtenie and I'm a therapist with a Master's in Counseling Psychology from The Chicago School. I believe there is profound power in the stories we tell ourselves, and particularly, the ones that have been told for us. My approach to therapy is grounded in Queer and Feminist Theory, Narrative Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I bring a warm, compassionate, and playful energy into the room, to create spaces that are nonjudgemental and deeply human.

Along the journey through life challenges are inevitable and there aren't always easy or clear answers about why things happen and what to do about them. We want our lives and life itself to have value, meaning and purpose; and finding or creating these things for ourselves can be confusing, frustrating and even scary. However, finding our deeper reason(s) in life can also be rewarding, exciting and empowering experience that provides the hope, courage, strength and tenacity needed to face life's challenges. Having the courage to begin this process and asking for support along the way doesn't mean you're weak, it makes you strong!

I believe our past experiences help shape who we are, but they don't have to define us. As your therapist, my goal is to help you navigate life’s barriers to find authenticity, acceptance, and self-compassion. Using a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive lens, I strive to provide a non-judgmental space where you feel safe, respected, and empowered to explore your inner experiences. Whether you’re still processing trauma from the past, struggling to find meaning in the present, or feeling anxious of where to go next, I will meet you with empathy and encouragement as you discover your inner strengths to forge your path.

The people I work best with are teens and young adults and adults who feel like life has thrown them one challenge after another—whether that’s family struggles, mental health concerns, substance use, self-harm, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or just feeling lost and disconnected. They may not have all the answers (yet), but they’re willing to take even the smallest step toward something better. What they need most is a safe place to be heard without judgment, to untangle the thoughts and
feelings that feel overwhelming, and to learn tools that make day-to-day life more manageable.
