Licensed Professional Counselor Associate
Cortney is a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-A) who earned both her Bachelor of Science in Psychology and her Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grand Canyon University. She is committed to lifelong learning and continues to expand her knowledge and clinical skills to provide ethical, compassionate, and evidence-based care to those she serves.
From a young age, Cortney developed a deep passion for counseling and a fascination with the human mind. Her interest in understanding the connection between the brain, emotions, and behavior inspired her to pursue a career dedicated to helping others navigate life’s challenges and discover their own strengths.
Cortney’s counseling approach is grounded in person-centered and humanistic principles. She believes every individual possesses the capacity for growth, healing, and meaningful change when provided with a genuine, empathetic, and accepting therapeutic relationship. She strives to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to develop greater self-awareness, foster personal growth, and move toward becoming their most authentic selves.
As a mother of two, someone with military affiliation, and an individual with diverse life experiences, Cortney brings warmth, understanding, and authenticity to the counseling relationship. Her professional experience includes working as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) in an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) clinic and providing Wraparound services, helping individuals and families access resources, strengthen supports, and navigate complex life circumstances.
Cortney is honored to walk alongside her clients as they work toward healing, resilience, and lasting well-being. With compassion at the center of her practice, she is dedicated to providing a welcoming environment where individuals feel supported, understood, and empowered to create meaningful and lasting change.
