Courtney Wilson, LCSW

You deserve to be loud, messy, sensitive and angry- and loved exactly for who you are. You’ve gotten used to living with your anxiety, but it’s a struggle. Things are hectic and your mind just never stops. If you’re waiting for the world to slow down, you may be waiting for a while. I know what it’s like to try to control your world through endless schedules and to-do lists, to power through, to live on auto-pilot. To ignore long-held family stories that influence how you show up in the world. To criticize yourself so harshly. Together in therapy, we can begin by helping you slow down enough. We’ll get curious about what’s working and what’s not. When you get curious about how you show up in the world-in your work, your relationships, the way you talk to yourself, that’s how change begins.

I’m not a nod-and-smile, vanilla sort of therapist—you’ll find that sometimes I curse and laugh loudly. I know that if I’m not real, I can’t expect you to be either. When you feel safe to be real with me, we can work on how that carries over to the rest of your life. I work with people from all walks of life from a depth psychology perspective that theorizes distress has something to teach us. Often though, that distress is so overwhelming that it drowns out the ability to understand and integrate. In psychotherapy, clients learn to lean into the disturbing and awaken to awareness and wholeness. I aim to support my clients through compassion, safe holding, unconditional positive regard, and curiosity. I provide individual and relationship therapy to those aged 16+. I also offer supervision services to new clinicians, which I find an important and meaningful part
of my work as a therapist.
