Courtney Daniels, LCSW, PMH-C
Therapist Specializing in Infertility, Pregnancy, Postpartum & Parenting in Alpharetta GA
The best way to find out if this approach is for you is to schedule a complimentary 15 – 20 minute consultation. Depending on your therapist’s availability, this consult may be held over the phone, via video, or in-person.
As we evolve in our lives, we are bound to come across moments and experiences that leave us feeling overwhelmed, challenged or out of sync. Some moments may be too difficult to overcome on your own or with the help of family or friends and you may find yourself feeling stuck, moving in circles or looking back vs forward. Often, the most difficult experiences uncover one’s strengths, truths and desires. My goal in therapy is to help you work through the beliefs and experiences that are holding you back from happiness, freedom and your fullest potential. I will join and guide you as you explore unfamiliar paths, overcome roadblocks and advance towards your well-being goals.
Seeking therapy is a difficult step, perhaps one you have been contemplating for some time. Breathe and know that today, you are taking action towards a healthier and happier YOU! This may feel scary and uncertain as all change does. I will help you feel safe, supported and empowered during our time together.
Every individual and every situation is unique; therefore, my supportive, collaborative and eclectic approach to therapy will be tailored specifically to you. I employ a variety of evidence-based techniques including cognitive-behavioral therapy, family systems theory, solution focused therapy, mindfulness and psycho-education.
I specialize in maternal mental health, perinatal loss, adjusting to life with a baby, parenting and relationship challenges. My passion is helping women (and their partners) navigate through the imperfect experience of motherhood. Becoming a parent can be a beautiful, exciting and rewarding time. However, for many, it can become a scary, overwhelming and dark time. Let’s work together to get your light shinning again.
