What People are Saying

“I have known Courtney for some time and find her to be skilled as a presenter/speaker, deeply knowledgeable about her subject area (resilience and traumatic stress among other areas), and in general one of the kindest and generous people you could meet. I hope you get a chance to see or read her work.” – Bill O’Hanlon, LMFT, speaker, and author of Do One Thing Different

“Courtney presented one of the most profitable workshops I have ever attended on trauma. The insights are brilliant. Thank you for a superlative experience.” – Allen Battle, Ph. D. , Professor of Psychiatry and Chief, Division of Clinical Psychology, University of Tennessee Center for Health Science

“Out of all the workshops I have gone to in recent memory, this workshop was the most informative AND applicable. I learned many new skills and ways of approaching therapy – something I can actually USE. I find that piece to often be lacking in the seminars I’ve been to. Courtney’s attitude, teaching style, use of role plays, media, etc. it was great!” – R. D., LCSW

“Courtney is a jewel of a teacher who is quietly effective and infectiously joyful about her work. Films were very helpful to flesh out her theory and teaching points.”– Participant, Psychotherapy Networker Symposium

“Courtney’s training was something I had looked forward to since reading her article in the Psychotherapy Networker and corresponding with her. She was vital, welcoming and full of helpful information. She had us do small group exercises, which were very useful.” – M. M., LCPC, NCC
