I am Courtney Watford and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor. I have been practicing for 15 years and I love what I do. Mental health is just as important as physical health. Our mind,body, and soul all work together to create who we are. It is important that we work to get each these aspects of our lives healthy. My therapy approach is eclectic style. I truly believe that each individual has unique needs that I want to ensure I meet. I specialize in treating anxiety, adjustment and life stressor issues, trauma, depression, family dynamics, anger management,ADHD, developmental issues, self-esteem, issues children and adolescents face, and more.

I utilize an eclectic style of therapy to meet each individual's needs. My primary approaches to therapy are CBT, Client-Centered, Solution Focused, Positive Psycholoy, TF-CBT, and Play Therapy.
My focus
I have experience in working with children, adolescents,adults and families. I enjoy working with all ages.
My communication style
My therapeutic environment and communication is open, non confrontational, and judgment free. I believe therapy is a collaborative process.
My journey to mental healthcare
When I was in high school I took a Psychology class and fell in love with learning about the mind and how it works. I have always had a passion for helping others, and immediately knew that therapy was what I wanted to choose as a career. It has been the best decision I have made.
My goals for you
When working with clients on setting goals I encourage them to create their own goals. I will provide input as well, and help them navigate this. I want their goals to be realistic and attainable. I want my clients to understand that therapy is their space and time to create their own goals.
My first session with you
In the first session I will inquire with clients what their goals are and what brings them into therapy. I will complete a biospsychosocial assessment with them and gather information to help me best meet their needs. I will introduce myself and my therapeutic approach, and allow for any questions they have.
