Hi! My name is Courtney Baldwin, I am a licensed clinical social worker who practices Embodiment therapy for trauma healing. I just opened my office in Santa Cruz, CA and I'm currently only accepting clients who want to see me in person. I work primarily with folks with complex trauma, anxiety, OCD and depression diagnoses. I have worked in partial hospitalization settings, intensive outpatient settings and in foster care and school settings.
I offer weekly therapy and I also offer individual short term intensive trauma therapy to help you heal more quickly. I practice EMDR, parts work and I use other somatic tools to support my clients in healing the early wounds that may have led them to have the symptoms they do today.
I want to make sure my clients actually experience a reduction in symptoms. The goal of my work is not to help you constantly manage your mental health challenges but to support you in feeling better overall. Trauma often happens in relationship, so I work to create a healthy, safe, genuine therapeutic relationship within which you can heal.
