Courtney Chaney
Counselor/Therapist, MS, NCC, APC
In this big world that we live in, we often find ourselves surrounded by people, but walking entirely alone. They don’t understand us and when we stop to think about it, we realize that we don’t really understand ourselves. The pain, fear, and other struggles become who you think you are, losing the true sense of the person you were meant to be. You’ve tried changing your personality or appearance to find the love and acceptance you crave, but it’s only left you feeling empty. Life keeps passing by, time keeps ticking and the pain becomes too much to handle and the feeling of being “stuck” has settled in.
Through our work together, you will find empowerment to face your struggles, strength to have ultimate freedom over your life and learn practical tools to apply to everyday life. My therapeutic approach is based on building a strong, healthy relationship with you and walking side by side through your journey of self-acceptance and healing.
You don’t have to do this alone. I can help you experience self-acceptance, worth beyond measure and ultimate freedom from self-judgment. I know seeking counseling can be hard, but help is within your reach. Together, we can walk through this journey to make meaningful and positive changes in your life. Call me for a free 15-minute phone consultation.
