Courtney Young Cardenas

Hello and welcome. I am Courtney Cardenas, a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to providing high-quality, compassionate psychotherapy and counseling services. I specialize in supporting individuals from late adolescence through senior adulthood (ages 15 to 60) as they navigate life's most complex challenges. My areas of expertise include grief and loss, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and relationships, and marriage counseling. My therapeutic approach is integrative and tailored entirely to your unique needs.

I utilize evidence-based modalities including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness practices. Growth and healing require vulnerability and hard work, but you do not have to walk this path alone. I am here to support, guide, and collaborate with you every step of the way.

My goal is to create a welcoming, safe, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and comfortable sharing their experiences at their own pace. I strive to build rapport and establish trust by demonstrating empathy, active listening, and culturally humility while fostering a collaborative therapeutic relationship.
