I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, but honestly, my credentials are just the beginning. What I bring to every session is genuine care and the understanding that getting here probably wasn't simple — most people have been struggling quietly for longer than they'd like to admit. So if you're reading this, I want you to know: reaching out was brave, and you're in a safe place to grow.

Dr. Courtney Chettle

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 15 mi away • Phoenix, AZ


I’m Dr. Courtney Chettle, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Board Approved Clinical Supervisor, based in Arizona. I specialize in helping adults who are navigating trauma, substance use, anxiety, burnout, neurodivergence, identity exploration, and life transitions. I know how heavy life can feel when you’re carrying old wounds, coping silently, or feeling disconnected from who you really are. You don’t have to do it alone.

I bring 14 years of experience in the behavioral health field, including 6 years as a licensed clinician and several more as a Board Approved Clinical Supervisor. I work with people who are ready to make real, lasting changes, people who want to heal, grow, and feel more like themselves again.

As someone who is in recovery and a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community and neurodivergent individual who has had to navigate life from that lens, I offer a space where you don’t have to explain who you are, where you’ve been, or why it is hard. You’ll be met with respect, empathy, and understanding. My clients often say they feel truly seen, supported, and empowered in our work together.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 5.7 mi away • Mesa, AZ


True healing begins by exploring how past experiences continue to impact the way you think, feel, and relate to others. How you show up in the relationships that matter most to you. Grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and the weight of patterns you've carried for years have a way of becoming the water you swim in — familiar, exhausting, and nearly impossible to see clearly from the inside. You may have tried to push through, stay busy, or simply manage — and found that it only goes so far.

As an LCSW, I work with adults who are ready to understand what they've been carrying, not to relive it endlessly, but to finally set some of it down. My work draws on EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, and somatic awareness, because healing isn't only a cognitive process. It lives in the body too. In the tension you hold, the way your breath shifts, the physical echoes of experiences your mind has long tried to move past. When we work at that level, something shifts that talking alone often can't reach.

What makes my approach distinct is the attention I bring to the relationship between your inner world and your outer life. Complex relationship patterns, grief, and the slow erosion of self-confidence are rarely isolated concerns — they're connected, layered, and shaped by everything you've lived through. Together we'll make sense of those connections, understand what your nervous system has been protecting, and build something more sustainable than simply getting through the day.

My approach is relational and collaborative, grounded in genuine respect for your pace, your story, and your autonomy. I bring warmth, honesty, and steady curiosity to every session — and a deep belief that the relationship you develop with yourself is the foundation for everything else. Healing here isn't about performing progress or moving on before you're ready. It's about gradually coming home to yourself.
