You want to be strong for everyone—but inside, you're exhausted. I help kids, parents, and families feel seen, supported, and capable again. You’re trying your best, but lately it feels like nothing is working. Whether you're navigating anxiety, mood swings, ADHD, or family tension, it’s hard to keep holding it all together. I support children, teens, parents, and young adults through life’s messier moments—offering a space to be honest, understood, and supported. Together, we’ll explore what’s going on beneath the surface and build a toolkit that empowers you or your child to feel more confident, connected, and emotionally steady.

I’ve worked in mental health since 2017 and specialize in supporting families, youth, and individuals with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Clients describe me as grounding and relatable. My sessions blend mindfulness, CBT, and solution-focused strategies—customized to your needs and goals.

Therapy with me is collaborative, strengths-based, and flexible. Whether we’re navigating crisis or setting long-term goals, you’ll leave each session with insight and tangible tools to move forward. Let’s connect and talk through what’s been weighing on you—healing starts here.

My name is Courtney Mensink and I have a license in both mental health and addiction counseling. I have worked in the field of addiction counseling since 2019 and have been licensed in mental health counseling since 2023. I specialize in working with individuals that are experiencing addiction, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, co-dependency, and self-esteem issues. I am passionate about helping people learn better coping skills, emotion regulation, and self-awareness and acceptance.

In my practice, I use evidence-based approaches like CBT and DBT. With a client-centered, compassionate approach, I work to empower clients to develop coping skills, challenge negative thoughts, and build emotional resilience, guiding them toward lasting recovery and improved well-being.

I understand how overwhelming it can feel to face addiction, anxiety, or depression. You don’t have to go through this alone. Together, we can explore your struggles, build coping skills, and work towards a healthier, more balanced life. If you're ready to take the first step toward healing and change, I’m here to support you on your journey.

I am passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate the complexities of relationships and attachment. Utilizing attachment theory, relational dynamics, and some CBT, I will guide you in understanding how your past influences your present connections. My approach is rooted in empathy and collaboration, creating a safe space for you to explore your feelings, patterns, and behaviors. I believe that healing begins with awareness and that building strong, secure relationships is essential for our mental well-being. Together, we will work to identify attachment styles, challenge thought patterns, and foster deeper connections.

My areas of interest include anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem, and trauma. I enjoy working with young adults, adults, and couples. For couples interested in pre-marital/pre-commitment work, I am certified as a Prepare/Enrich facilitator and can provide an assessment and feedback sessions.

I am dual-licensed to address both mental health and substance abuse. My approach uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, mindfulness techniques and person-centered approaches that have been shown to be highly effective for treating a multitude of concerns. I believe that by increasing conscious awareness, clients can be empowered to change their lives. I enjoy working with adults, adolescents, and families.

Some areas that I focus on include trauma and post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, panic, boundary and relationship issues, chemical dependency and relapse prevention, behavioral addictions, mood disorders, ADHD and anger management.

I have a passion for working with adolescents and young adults and for the unique struggles that they face. Using a person-centered approach, I aim to create a space for you to tell your individual story in a safe and trusting environment. I want to know you and help you feel that your problems are valid, real, and manageable. Though we are all individuals, we grow up and live within systems and social contexts that shape our experiences, and I do my best to acknowledge this aspect of you in addition to your autonomy.

There is no "right" reason to seek therapy. Sometimes life is hard, and talking to a therapist can make it feel a little easier. Whether you are experiencing stress and anxiety from school, feeling sad about a break-up, frustrated from losing a job, or overwhelmed about politics and the state of the world, we can work through that together.

I am passionate about helping individuals navigate difficult emotions, life transitions, and experiences that feel overwhelming or hard to manage alone. My approach is grounded in person-centered therapy, meaning I strive to create a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe exploring their thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent over four years working in emergency room and inpatient psychiatric settings supporting individuals during acute mental health crises. This experience shaped my trauma-informed perspective and deepened my understanding of how challenging and isolating mental health struggles can feel.

During my clinical training, I was also introduced to EMDR concepts while working with trauma-related concerns under supervision. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults and aim to create a supportive space where clients can develop insight, strengthen coping skills, and move toward meaningful growth.

I believe that building a solid relationship is a key component of a positive therapy experience. I use a person-centered approach to create a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for each person to share their unique story. I work regularly with the LGBTQAI community and feel strongly about keeping this a safe space for all.

I have a passion for working with college students/young adults, helping you to work through life transitions, and am constantly working towards destigmatizing sex and the like topics. People universally want to feel heard, understood, and seen, and I aim to provide this for each person.

I will help you cope with and resolve painful, difficult situations with a knowledgeable, empathetic, insightful approach. I see adult clients and students, and work well with clients from the LGBTQIA+ community. My areas of practice include depression, anxiety, relationship issues, chemical dependency, Panic Disorder, mood disorders, work and school stress, existential crises, grief and loss, and life transitions. In addition to being a licensed professional clinical counselor, I am also a licensed alcohol and drug counselor.

My personal interests include spiritual development, meditation, music, theater, literature, social justice, skiing, hiking, and volunteering.

Life can feel especially complicated during times of change, or when the stress of everyday life becomes overwhelming. I work with adults navigating these challenges, using an integrative approach informed by existential and humanistic perspectives.

I specialize in supporting individuals through life transitions, relationship difficulties, and periods of spiritual questioning. I believe that meaningful change begins with a deeper understanding of yourself and a connection to what truly matters to you. Together, we’ll uncover your strengths, nurture healthier relationships, and foster lasting growth.

Maybe you find yourself feeling overwhelmed at the prospect of adding one more thing to your plate or tired of trying an endless list of self-improvement tasks, only to feel like the quick fix doesn't fit your circumstances. I meet my clients with a warm, strength-focused, and culturally informed perspective to ensure they are receiving care tailored to them. In addition to the skills and tools you already have, we can use my toolbox: brainspotting, solution-focused therapy, brain-body connection, and systemic therapy to put your experience into context and you in charge of your story—no matter how unmanageable it may feel right now

During a session, you can expect us to reflect on your prior successes–what's worked for you? Just as my experience supporting foster children & teaching art shaped my expertise, your skills inform therapy to be specific & effective to you. My style is collaborative and a touch witty—I lean heavy on metaphors & a bit of therapeutic challenging too.

In short, I believe that everyone deserves peace and I’m here to be a support as you find yours. If it sounds like we could be a good fit, please don’t hesitate to reach out to get scheduled. I offer free 15 minute phone consultations and we have a wonderful front desk staff who would be happy to see if your insurance works out here.
