Courtney really takes the time to hear you out, asks questions, listens, asks more questions, offers feedback, then offers areas to work on. She provides recommended reading, skills to work on, even handouts to refer back to. My prior counselor was only allowed to talk with me once a month. I now have weekly sessions and am finally noticing improvement in my ability to accept and talk about me trauma."”
