Courtney Surigao, LCMHC — Therapist in North Carolina

Hi there, I'm Courtney!

I am called to serve others with love, kindness, and compassion. I create a safe and supportive environment where you can work through struggles, experience new growth, and discover your inherent value. I am honored to witness your resilience and healing.

My focus

I work with young adults, teens, and families navigating everyday challenges and uniquely difficult experiences. Together, we develop insights, tools, and strategies to address areas where you want to see healing, positive change, and growth.

My approach

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. I also value Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic approaches. Overall, I lean into a variety of therapeutic approaches because one size does not fit all.

My communication style

I am relaxed, approachable, and laid-back. I value honest conversations and open transparency to create a genuine therapeutic relationship. I don't play mind games or try to trick you. We share what matters to you and take a hard look at what we might focus on together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I love people and am interested in the stories and experiences they share. I am convinced of the irreplaceable value of each individual and fascinated by the incredible uniqueness of each person. What an honor to walk beside people as they grow into a life of value and meaning.

My goals for you

We will work to clarify what is important to you and what you want to work on. That is how goals are born. We will focus on small, achievable steps, and always emphasize self-awareness and personal value over perfection or timelines.

Our first session

We will work on getting to know each other. I want to be sure you feel comfortable with me. We can begin to examine the directions you may want to explore as you share some of your story with me.
