Courtney Creegan

I’m a licensed clinician with extensive experience supporting adults navigating substance use concerns, and the connecting anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship stress that comes with these concerns. My professional background includes work across multiple levels of care—from crisis assessments and intensive outpatient programs to long-term outpatient therapy—which allows me to meet clients wherever they are in their journey.

I hold advanced training in evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches and bring a strong understanding of how mental health, substance use, relationships, and life stressors intersect. In addition to my clinical work, I also teach psychology and counseling at the undergraduate level, which keeps my practice grounded in current research while remaining deeply practical and client-centered.

I specialize in working with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted—especially those who are high-functioning on the outside but struggling internally.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each individual. I believe therapy should feel like a partnership—not something done to you, but something we work through together. I draw from evidence-based modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care, while remaining flexible and responsive to what each client needs in the moment.

I focus on helping clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and make meaningful, sustainable changes—without judgment or pressure. Whether we are working through emotional regulation, relationship patterns, recovery support, or personal growth, my goal is to create a space where clients feel safe, understood, and empowered.

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and for you to feel out whether this space feels right for you. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you’re hoping to work on, and any immediate concerns you’d like support with. There is no expectation to share everything at once—therapy moves at your pace.

Clients can expect a calm, supportive, and non-judgmental environment. Together, we’ll begin identifying goals and outlining what meaningful progress might look like for you. My priority in the first session is helping you feel comfortable, heard, and supported, while setting the foundation for thoughtful, intentional work moving forward.
