A BIT ABOUT THERAPY

Specializing in Communication & Connection

Hi, I'm Courtney. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in self-esteem and communication. I'm about helping you discover your true self so you are more confident and self-assured so you're able to thrive in relationships with everyone around you.

In session, we'll learn how past behaviors, traumas, and relationships influence your current situation. We'll increase your insight into your own personality and how it aligns (or doesn't) with your partners. We'll dive deep into your own expectations of others, and how it influences your choices. We'll increase your communication skills, specifically focusing on being more open and assertive. We'll make sure your relationships with family, friends, and partners are equal by decreasing your people-pleasing tendencies and increasing boundaries.

Get in Touch

Therapy might benefit you if you are experiencing:

Difficulty deciding whether or not to stay or leave a relationship
Communication barriers, including lack of transparency and trust
Difficulty being open and vulnerable with others
A recent breakup that has left you feeling lost or empty
Low self-esteem
Frequent feelings of guilt
Pressure to engage in people-pleasing tendencies
Tumultuous relationships patterns and history
Un-balanced relationships where you are giving more or less than the other
Feeling isolated and alone, despite being in a relationship
You feel unmotivated to meet new people, which leads to having few real relationships
You feel you often drive people away unintentionally

Ever hear the cliche breakup line, "It's not you, it's me"? Well, sometimes that's true. I'm here to help you become a person who's ready to have intimate, deep, and open relationships. With partners. With friends. With family members. And most importantly...with yourself.

Relationships

Navigating life after a recent conflict or breakup or for anyone trying to decide whether or not to leave a relationship.

Exploring

For those questioning their sexuality or exploring consensual non-monogamy/poly relationships

Expectations

OFFERING VIRTUAL SESSIONS

Revitalize Wellness Therapy is currently only offering virtual sessions for new clients.

Benefits Of Telehealth Appointments

Flexibility! It's much easier to fit in therapy when you don't have to travel to an office for sessions.
Reduced Anxiety. There's no traffic or rushing to get to your appointment after work. There's no difficulty finding parking or waiting for your session in a waiting area beforehand.
Increased comfort. You can attend sessions at times that work the best for you, and in your own space. You are able to wear comfy clothes that you wouldn't necessarily wear in public. Awesome!
Pets are welcome! If you have pets, they are welcome to join your session and provide comfort as usual.
Consistency. Because virtual sessions are more convenient and able to fit into your workday, you are able to attend therapy more frequently and consistently, which leads to better progress and goal outcomes.
Germ free appointments. You are less likely to come into contact with anyone who has been exposed to Covid 19, as well as the flu and all of the other stuff that's constantly going around.
