About
I take a thoughtful, individualized approach to care, focusing less on labels and more on helping my patients improve their symptoms and overall quality of life.

I take a client-centered and individualized approach, understanding that each person's needs are unique. I prioritize listening, collaboration, and thoughtful treatment planning, working with clients to find practical, realistic strategies that support long-term symptom improvement and overall well-being.
I strive to create a supportive, trusting environment where you feel heard and understood. My goal is to help you build a lasting foundation for your mental health. I look forward to supporting you on your journey.

Building a trusting, compassionate partnership is the foundation of meaningful mental health care and lasting recovery.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 13 years of experience supporting adults in their mental health and recovery journeys. Throughout my career, I have worked as both a nurse clinician and nurse practitioner in community mental health settings, including providing outpatient behavioral health services. I specialize in addiction medicine and treat alcohol and opioid use disorders, as well as a range of behavioral health concerns. My approach centers on respect, dignity, safety, and whole-person well-being.

I strongly believe in a person’s ability to be able to overcome difficult situations that may arise in their lives. That ability comes from self-motivation and guidance using a unified approach by problem solving, gaining insight, and implementing strategies to alleviate symptoms. My name is Courtney and I have 15 years of experience. I hold a Master's of Science degree in Mental Health Counseling from UAlbany. Prior to obtaining my Master's degree, I attended UCONN to double major in Psychology and Human Development and Family Studies. I am currently licensed as an LPC in the state of Connecticut. I have experience providing group, individual, and family therapy in the community, inpatient hospital, outpatient facility, group home, and residential settings. I have been able to serve diverse populations and have varied experience with people of differing ages, race, religion, sexual orientation, and diagnoses. I am passionate about working with individuals struggling with parenting and behavioral needs of their children, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, and substance abuse. I typically use CBT, mindfulness, dialectical behavioral therapy, and solution focused techniques to assist in mitigating the struggles people are experiencing. Most importantly I use a collaborative approach as the client is the expert of their lives and my role is to help provide guidance and feedback rather than to dictate and force opinions. I look forward to meeting you and being a help to you in anyway that I can.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Psychologists are mental health professionals that provide psychotherapy services and diagnoses for their clients. They have more research-focused training than most therapists, as they are more medically educated and receive a more general education about therapeutic approaches and theory.
Thriveworks psychologists in Stamford, CT provide standard psychotherapy services, tailoring treatment to each client and their unique concerns. However, they can also provide diagnoses to clients when appropriate, something that therapists and counselors cannot do. Finally, in some states in the U.S., they are allowed to prescribe medication.
Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Stamford is very individualized and specific to each client, which means that the duration of treatment is often varied depending on a client’s condition or disorder, the state of their symptoms, and their specific goals.
Psychologists are licensed, qualified mental health professionals who help their clients work through a range of mental health and life issues. They use their extensive experience, skills, and tools to help people live better.

Psychologists can provide value to many people for different reasons. One person might begin working with a psychologist to manage their depression or anxiety through talk therapy and/or medication, while another person might meet with a psychologist for their guidance on a relationship issue. As you can see, the issues that one presents to their psychologist can vary greatly. Here’s a more comprehensive list:
If you need help with any of the above challenges, consider working with a psychologist at Thriveworks Counseling in Stamford, CT. They have worked with people through a variety of issues, of whom are varying ages, genders, and races. These professionals are able to develop a treatment plan specific to you and your needs. Get to work with one today.
The psychologists and counselors at Thriveworks Counseling in Stamford, CT use a broad range of techniques and tools to help their clientele improve their wellbeing and reach new heights. Often, they will use therapy to understand each client’s needs, which will then inform the treatment plan they create to help the individual burst through their specific roadblock(s). This means that in order to make progress with your psychologist, you might have to open up about some difficult topics. But don’t worry, it will only benefit you in the end!
In some cases, a client can best benefit from a combination of talk therapy and medication. If this is the case, your psychologist will likely work with your primary care physician and/or a psychiatrist to prescribe and manage the individual’s medication. In some states, however, a psychologist can do so without the assistance of another healthcare provider. Either way, if you have an illness that requires or benefits from medication, your Thriveworks psychologist will help you obtain and manage your medication.
Admitting that we have a problem and asking for a little help isn’t easy. Some of us are taught to suck it up and solve our problems ourselves, while others pick up shame, stigma, and fear from society. In any case, there is nothing wrong with asking for help. In fact, it is the courageous, right thing to do—especially when it comes to your health and wellbeing.
Psychologists can help you overcome challenges and ultimately pave the path for a happier, healthier life. Even if you aren’t suffering from a major life issue, you can likely reach greater heights, of which a psychologist can help you accomplish. To begin this important work with a psychologist at Thriveworks Counseling in Stamford, CT, give us a call today at (203) 635-5693.
