I am a master’s-level licensed psychotherapist providing therapy for adults ages 20 to 93 for more than 20 years. I help individuals and families navigate life’s challenges with clarity, compassion, and practical tools for change. I specialize in trauma, substance use, and relationship dynamics, and I strive to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and understood. I believe healing begins with honest, conscious communication—starting within and extending to others—and my focus is helping you move forward with greater confidence and purpose.

Courtney Daniel

Courtney Daniel

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Arizona


Hello! My name is Courtney Daniel. I am a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I graduated from Wilkes University with my Master's of Science in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing. I also hold a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing and a Bachelor's of Science in Psychology.

I believe that healing looks different for everyone, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. I believe in meeting you exactly where you are. I take a collaborative approach, which means we work through things together. Medication can be a helpful tool when it’s needed, but it’s not the only piece of the process. We’ll also focus on building and strengthening coping skills so you feel more confident day to day.

Above all, my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and accepted without judgment. Thank you for trusting me with your care.

I provide telehealth psychiatric services to people living in Arizona. I work with children ages 6 and up, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in treating mood disorders including depression, anxiety and bipolar, as well as ADHD, OCD, schizophrenia, PTSD, postpartum depression, and more.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Glendale

Finding the right addiction therapist in Glendale, AZ, starts with identifying the type of care you need. Addiction and substance use disorders can involve alcohol, drugs, or behavioral patterns — and the right provider will have specific training in these areas. Look for a licensed therapist or counselor (such as an LPC, LCSW, or psychologist) who specializes in substance use counseling, dual diagnosis, or relapse prevention. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and whether they're a good match before you book.

Glendale has providers who offer both in-person and virtual sessions, giving you flexibility based on your schedule and comfort level. Consider what matters most — whether that's a provider who uses a specific modality like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or motivational interviewing, someone who offers individual substance abuse counseling, or a therapist who can address co-occurring conditions like anxiety or depression alongside addiction.

Addiction counseling in Glendale can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use in-network coverage. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before your first appointment, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an addiction therapist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
