Courtney Gimenez, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Courtney!

I work with adults using a person-centered approach. My focus areas include stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and trauma.

My focus

My approach is a good fit for those who didn't have someone nurturing their strengths or encouraging exploration and personal growth. You deserve to live the life you want, and you're capable of creating it.

My approach

I utilize CBT and ACT to manage anxiety and depression and increase self-esteem. I'm trained in EMDR to process painful past experiences. I emphasize being kind to yourself throughout our work together. We'll collaborate to decide which approach best fits your needs.

My communication style

I'm personable, nurturing, and have a sunny disposition. I create a warm and safe environment that allows you to feel comfortable being yourself so you can get the most out of our time together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I know what it's like to need support, so I've always been drawn to professions that facilitate growth and healing. You are the expert of your life, and I'm honored to walk alongside you in this chapter.

My goals for you

You ultimately decide what you need from our time together. You're seeking support for a reason, and I want to meet your needs as best as I can.

Our first session

I'll ask questions to explore what brought you here and what you're hoping to get from therapy. We'll talk about what's working and where you may need support. I recognize reaching out can be difficult, and sharing with a stranger can be scary. Please only share what you're comfortable sharing.
