Therapy can be scary! Vulnerability can be hard for many people. However, I am committed to providing a safe, nonjudgmental place where you can share the things that are going on in your life.

Howdy there, and welcome! My name is Courtney Yergin, and I’m a clinician with over 12 years of practice, licensed LISW-S in the state of Ohio and LICSW in the state of Alabama. I have experience working with adults, teens, and families in individuals, couples, hospitals, communities, and residential settings. My style is compassionate and nonjudgmental, which seeks to empower YOU. Treatment is a vulnerable space where you deserve to feel safe, heard, and valued. Your goals are my goals and will be tailored to treat your struggles and augment your strengths. I specialize in trauma, depression, anxiety, adjustment, eating disorders, substance use, and personality disorders. I believe it is paramount to understand how your brain, body, and behaviors have been impacted by stress. Throughout treatment, I utilize evidence-based practice interventions, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Trauma-Informed Care (TIC), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Compassion Focus Therapy (CFT). I’m passionate about lending a hand to help you understand, seek out, and practice solutions to achieve your own advancement. What’s next for you? Let's find out together! Courtney is currently accepting new adult, teen, and EAP clients. Please call or email for scheduling.

Participating in counseling does not mean you are weak. It means you are strong enough to ask for help.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor holding degrees in Master’s of Education in Counseling, Student Affairs and Master’s of Science in Counseling from Texas A&M University-Commerce. I am a member of the Texas Counseling Association (TCA) and the International Association for Sandtray Therapy (IAST). Since 2002, I have participated in the mental health and social fields by performing services for behavioral/mental health wellness, alcohol/substance abuse, family systems, career counseling plus consulting/facilitating group therapies which contribute to an enlightened understanding of situations from multiple perspectives. I am trained in numerous traditional modalities including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) and Person-Centered Therapy and has experience utilizing Anger Management techniques. I also offer the unique, nontraditional form of Sandtray Therapy where sand and miniatures activate the nonverbal way of thinking increasing capacity for self-expression, self-awareness and communication development. I am currently attending a training course for certification in Nutritional and Integrative Medicine for Mental Health Professionals. I work with middle/late adolescents (ages 15+) and adults to identify individual, couple and family needs. I create personalized plans with clients to address depression, anxiety, stress, grief and loss, trauma, emotional awareness, adjustment/change, behavioral and emotional disturbances as well as many other life hurdles. I look forward to working with you to create the most effective treatment course to help you overcome your unique challenges.

When I first started therapy in my early twenties, I thought it would just be the therapist telling me what to do and how to live the best way. I thought I'd have to do homework worksheets like I was taking a class and that I'd suddenly be this perfect kind of person who didn't have anxiety or relationship difficulties anymore. Unfortunately, it wasn't that easy, but fortunately, therapy is so much more than just another series of To-Dos for your already overwhelmed life. You can grow, heal trauma, and find ways to move forward. According to research about what makes therapy effective, the relationship between therapist and client is key. This means basically that you should like your therapist, want to talk to them, and feel like they like you! For people who have faced a lot of rejection, a relationship like therapy can be kind of scary, but I always remind my clients that therapy is a place where you are ultimately in charge. You choose what we work on, how fast, and how we go about it. My job is to help you see a little beyond your capacity, to support the stories in your life you want more of, help you puzzle through stuck spots, and to notice and point out your progress. We do not have to talk about your childhood if you don't want to or don't find that helpful! Therapy is about your goals, and I'm here to help you identify them and find ways to move towards them.

Hi, I’m Emily! I help smart, sensitive people rewrite harmful stories from the past, tame anxiety, and live with more peace and confidence. I specialize in supporting Exvangelicals, religious trauma survivors, and people in faith transition or deconstruction. I’m trained in EMDR therapy to help you heal and reduce trauma responses so you can embody your values, not your past.

Don't stay stuck! We all deserve so much, and you don't have to be sick to get better. Taking the steps to connect with help can be intimidating and uncomfortable, yet the risk is well worth the opportunities and growth you can experience.

You have been through so much and come so far! What keeps holding you back from experiencing all of the joy and calm you are seeking? There are protective parts of self that surface to move us through times of trauma and loss, social discord and injustice, economic and environmental crisis, and separation and isolation in our relationships...and these extremely valid coping responses might be contributing to more pain and keeping you from a full, authentic connection to all of your world. Awareness is a big step, yet also needs momentum and action to actualize and heal. Take your journey further. The time is now.

Making the decision to ask for help can be difficult and feel defeating. Often, we can feel like giving up of things don’t get better immediately. I encourage you to trust the process. Lean into it when it seems like it is getting worse. Remember, I am here to support and encourage you on this journey and we will get through this together. You will come out stronger on the other side. 

We all have different reasons for seeking counseling; however, if you feel it is valuable to seek positive change in your life I look forward to joining you on that journey. I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups seeking to increase their self-awareness and connect their emotions and thoughts.I have worked with young children, adolescents, and adults. My experience includes developmental disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, personality disorders, anxiety, depression, and other emotional concerns.Helping you reach your goals is my passion. I use an emotion focused approach and have received training in Dr. Sue Johnson's Emotionally Focused Therapy. Additionally, I have training in Play Therapy, sandtray, and art therapies. I utilize a creative, experiential approach to encourage clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and relationships.

Going to therapy for the first time causes some anxiety at first, it's a brave thing to do. It's self-care, an act of self-love, a step in the right direction.

Valencia Counseling is a culturally sensitive private practice providing comprehensive mental health services via telehealth in the state of California. My focus is to help individuals meet their goals and become aware of their inner strengths. I achieve this by providing a safe space, listening to your story and providing evidence based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

I want to hear your story and be part of your journey towards a more fulfilling life.

Change is often difficult, so my role is to work alongside each person as they navigate through challenges on the way to the life they want for themselves and their loved ones. Each has within them the tools necessary to learn and grow toward a brighter future both personally and in relationships, and it is my privilege to help discover unknown potential and paths forward.  

Therapy doesn't have to be painful or scary. This is a process where you build a relationship with a provider who safely opens doors for you to learn more about yourself. If you think you could benefit from changing thoughts, behaviors, or feelings, then therapy could be a great fit for you!

I am a licensed trauma therapist and I provide teletherapy to individuals in New York, Texas, and Maryland. My specialty is developing distress tolerance, or making stress feel less overwhelming. I work with clients aged 5-18, 18+ as individuals and/or families. Stress exists as a necessary part of the human experience. For some, this experience has been more dangerous, disruptive, or overwhelming. In our sessions, I’ll provide the opportunity for you to reconnect with a sense of safety to move into a fuller life. I practice from a combination of therapy models. I use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) as the basis for skill building. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a guide for regulating the nervous system. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) builds a deeper connection to our authentic goals.

Taking that first step is always anxiety provoking but my job is to help create a safe and supportive space to help ease you into the process of therapy. I believe that having a space that is just for you, is transformative, powerful and healing. I have found this to be true for myself in my own journey with therapy. So, give it a try!

Hello and bienvenue! I work with a diverse clientele and specialize in providing social justice oriented psychotherapy to people of color, as well as members of LGBTQIA+ communities. I provide culturally responsive therapy, which focuses on the strengths that you already have. I tend to use an Interpersonal Process theoretical approach (IPT) as well as a cognitive-behavioral theoretical approach (CBT) while also paying attention to your environment and access to social support. I work with you to build a safe space where you can share your experiences without the fear of being judged, and where you can focus on becoming clear about what you want, and how you want to go about making that happen. I believe that it is important to build a strong therapeutic relationship, as well as paying close attention to what is happening for you in-the-moment. I find it helpful to work to understand the different values and beliefs that we bring into the room, and how these worldviews might affect our interactions with each other. Understanding how your thoughts are related to your behaviors can empower and help you to actively account for your reality. You can use this insight to make the changes that will be necessary to live life more healthily.
