Courtney Paxson

Therapy with me may be a good fit if...

✓ You struggle with anxiety, overthinking, or self-criticism, even though others see you as capable.

✓ You're healing from painful relationship experiences, difficult family dynamics, or emotional abuse.

✓ You keep ending up in relationships where you feel unseen, your needs aren’t met, you feel invisible and not prioritized, where you feel responsible for everyone else's happiness, or are afraid to speak up or say “no”.

✓ You find yourself people-pleasing, avoiding conflict, or feeling guilty when you prioritize your own needs.

✓ You've learned plenty of coping skills, but you're ready to understand the deeper reasons these patterns continue.

I specialize in codependency and the effects of narcissistic abuse; I have extensive experience working with anxiety, depression, chronic illnesses and always come from a trauma informed lens.

While I use evidence based practice, I pull from a mix of different theoretical concepts to best fit what is needed for each individual client. Everyone is unique and so is my approach to them.

For short term solutions focused therapy I may utilize more cognitive behavioral or DBT concepts, for deeper understanding I utilize a psychoanalytical framework.

You can expect to feel safe and seen. A first session is a get to know you and to see if we are a good fit, first and foremost is the trust and relationship we build so you can feel safe to explore all the difficult emotions and thoughts you may never have spoken aloud before.
