About
Remember, it's not who you are that holds you back; it's who you think you're now”- Denis Waitley. As a Black woman and the oldest daughter and sister in my family, I understand the responsibility, resilience, and emotional complexity that can come with growing up in families that don’t always follow a traditional path.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor (CPCS) in the state of Georgia, with nine years of experience working in a variety of mental health settings. I am passionate about helping children, adolescents, and adults address trauma and navigate life’s challenges. My clinical work focuses on supporting individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, trauma, family-related difficulties, and major life transitions.
My approach blends trauma-informed care with practical skillbuilding to help children, adolescents, and adults navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, and life challenges. Clients can expect a supportive, culturally aware space focused on healing, resilience, and the development of tools for lasting personal growth.
We all go through challenges in our lives, but how we respond and react to situations is what makes us different from others. I am confident I can assist you with overcoming mental and emotional barriers in every aspect of your life journey. Remember: Your identity is tied to whatever you give your heart to.

I became a therapist because I realized how much earlier access to support could have changed the lives of my loved ones, and today I take a direct, empowering approach that helps adults recognize they already have the capacity to grow and heal.
Hi, I'm Courtney, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia dedicated to helping adults navigate life's challenges with clarity, confidence, and purpose. I primarily work with adults (18+) experiencing anxiety, depression, and adjustment-related challenges, including major life transitions, daily stress, and difficulty regaining balance. Many of the people I work with are seeking practical tools, self-awareness, and confidence to move forward. I take a direct, collaborative approach to therapy, helping clients recognize the strengths they already possess while developing strategies that support meaningful, lasting change.
I believe therapy works best when it's supportive and honest. My approach is direct, compassionate, and collaborative. Rather than focusing on what's "wrong," I help clients identify patterns keeping them stuck, build on their strengths, and develop practical strategies for everyday life. My goal is to help you leave therapy feeling confident and resilient.
I became a therapist because I realized how much earlier access to support could have changed the lives of my loved ones. That experience inspires my belief that no one should have to face life's challenges alone. Whatever brought you here, you deserve to feel heard, supported, and empowered. I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

As a black woman who's been married for 10 years and lives a very busy life, I understand the challenges that comes with marriage and society. As someone who has personally experienced depression and anxiety along with challenges in self-esteem, I understand how that can get in the way of the relationship with yourself, significant other, and family.
I have been practicing therapy since 2019 and hold an LPC. I typically work with couples who are facing communication challenges and broken trust along with helping them reconnect. I work with individuals and help them to gain healthy coping skills to deal with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.
I love to be collaborative with clients and be intuitive to specific needs they may have in the moment. That helps clients to feel seen and understood during their healing journey.
Healing is something we all must experience but being able to trust someone you can be vulnerable with makes it so much easier.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Therapy for women uses traditional psychotherapeutic techniques implemented through a feminist lens to help women deal with the emotional and mental ramifications of being a woman in today’s society. Thriveworks Woodstock therapists will target issues like toxic masculinity, gender roles, misogyny, and other problems that women face daily and their impact on their mental health.
Therapy for women works much like traditional therapy, but will also integrate person-centered and humanistic therapy approaches at the forefront of treatment. Thriveworks Woodstock therapists who specialize in treating women acknowledge the unique experience of each individual while treating a wide variety of concerns with empathy, compassion, and respect.
Therapy for women at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Therapy for women will often last until the client feels that their therapeutic goals have been met, whether it continues for a few months or over the course of years. However, treatment should last at least five months, as that is the average amount of time therapy takes to have a lasting impact.
We all walk through life a little differently. No one has the same background, genetics, or personality as you do. But even in this incredibly diverse world, some experiences are more commonly shared amongst certain people.
Women commonly experience events that are unique to women. Even if it is a broader experience shared between both men and women, women might experience it differently because of genetics, social norms, and upbringing.
Of course, many of these experiences are full of joy and excitement. But there are situations that can pull you down with their sorrow, pain, and frustration. If you are walking through such a time, know that Thriveworks Woodstock is here for you. We understand that some issues can only be truly understood by other women. This fact shouldn’t be ignored, and we have the specific tools and empathetic approach that can help you heal and grow.
Counseling for Women is much the same as counseling for the general populace. You will always be the driving force in the counseling session, that doesn’t change. Our focus will be on your concerns, your goal, and your situation. Our job as counselors is to give you tools so you can build the life you desire and provide encouragement, support, and empathy as we walk with you.
Women’s Counseling is no different. You are still empowered to be in charge of your own path. The difference is in how we approach and solve problems. Thriveworks Woodstock understands that the issues you as a women face aren’t entirely comparable to what a man might face. These differences shouldn’t just be brushed aside, they should be inspected and used to further your healing and growth.
Counseling is made more powerful through a shared connection. By walking through your trials with someone who understands, you are more likely to open up and push yourself to grow. Counseling for Women’s Issues at Thriveworks Woodstock strives to provide you with exactly that.
Your experiences as a woman are important and valid. Sometimes, they can be trying. But you are never without hope. Thriveworks Woodstock is fighting in your corner. Together, we can build the life you dream of.
As always, Thriveworks Woodstock believes issues of all magnitude are important and worth addressing. The concerns, insecurity, and pain you’re fighting are holding you back from the person you want to become and the life you want to live. But it doesn’t have to be that way forever. Thriveworks Woodstock is here to expedite the process of healing and growth so you can live with freedom now.
With Women’s Issues Counseling, we can take a focused look on the issues that plague you because of your gender. We can also address topics experienced by the population at large but affect women a little differently. A few examples include:
This is far from a complete list, and we can talk about whatever comes up in a counseling session. As mentioned before, counseling is all about you!
Research has suggested that women are more likely than men to experience symptoms of depression and anxiety. And many mental health issues look differently in women than they do in men. These differences are isolating and confusing, but personalized therapy can be a big step in combatting it and healing.
On top of gender differences as they relate to the mental health world, gender stereotypes and assumptions continue to plague women. The belief that women are simply more emotional, less competent, or not as smart are a few examples of stereotypes that- while have lessened significantly- still persist.
It’s worth noting here that studies have been done on women and men’s brains and determined they are strikingly similar. What does this mean? The differences in mental illness rates are not because women are more emotional or weaker as many stereotypes lead you to believe. While they do have a genetic proponent, they are also driven by the unique situations a woman experiences.
The individualized nature of mental health combined with a history of negative stereotyping means counseling for women’s issues should be a little different than counseling for the general populace. We are not the same nor should we be, and that remains true on an individual and gender-wide level.
Thriveworks Woodstock always offers nonjudgmental, empathetic counseling. We strive to walk with you to a healthy, happy place where you can grow on your own. It’s a future not far out of reach.
