Courtney utilizes an integrative approach to mental health treatment, often incorporating psychometrics alongside a wide range of modalities, including: Trauma-Focused CBT, Mindfulness-Based Interventions, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Somatic Experiencing, Polyvagal Theory, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Animal-Assisted Therapy, and Person-Centered approaches. Her work is also influenced by psychoanalytic theory, attachment-based perspectives, and a deep respect for neuroplasticity and the brain-body connection. She is committed to practicing through a social justice lens, recognizing the impact of systemic oppression and impacts of MACRO and intergenerational trauma.

In addition to her psychotherapy practice, Courtney facilitates equine-assisted psychotherapy (EAP) and meditation groups that support individuals in exploring self-regulation, mindfulness, and embodied healing through animal-based experiences. Her personal and professional work is influenced by Buddhist teachings, and she engages in weekly Buddhist teacher meditation training.

Courtney has extensive experience in program development, project management, and clinical supervision. Prior to founding the group practice, she developed and led community-based programs, including Psychiatric Rehabilitation Programs (PRP) and outpatient mental health services. She was honored with the Forsythia Award by the University of Maryland in recognition of her impactful work in inner-city schools, where she established peer mediation groups that significantly reduced office referrals and reported altercations among middle school students.
