Courtney Davis-Persaud, LPC — Therapist in Georgia

Hi there, I'm Courtney!

I created this practice to help people during their dark times and encourage them to pass the light to others. By using the knowledge and techniques I've gained, I will help guide you to find your light again. I have diverse experience across community mental health, crisis, inpatient psychiatric therapy, and more.

My focus

I work with clients facing suicide prevention, self-harm, personality disorders, mood disorders, substance abuse, anxiety, depression, PTSD and trauma, ADD/ADHD, psychosis, anger management, stress, relationship issues, sex therapy, family conflict, and those coping with re-entering the community.

My approach

I treat my clients with empathy, sincerity, and respect, and strive to empower you to find your way towards recovery. I typically use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused, Person-Centered, and Strength-based approaches to help you process your struggles.

My communication style

Our sessions will be a safe and judgment-free therapeutic environment. I take a laid-back, easy-going communication style—it will be like you are speaking to a close friend whom you can trust. I do this to eliminate any beliefs that I must be "better" than you. Feel free to speak about anything without judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

When a fellow student shared her depression and self-harm with me, I was able to empower her and help her get help. When I saw the glow on her face when she felt hope again, I decided to become a therapist. My mission is to empower others during their times of darkness and encourage them to help others themselves.

My goals for you

During the initial consultation, your therapy goals will be discussed. My goal is to help you reach your personal goals and find ways to cope with ongoing stressors. Your goals may change throughout therapy, and our treatment plan can be revised to accommodate your new goals. I am here for your journey of recovery.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. I will complete a Biopsychosocial Assessment to understand your history, symptoms, and social dynamics influencing your current presenting problem. This will help me come up with a diagnosis and treatment plan.
