INDIVIDUAL AND COUPLES THERAPIST, RALEIGH NC

Hello, and welcome! I’m Courtney Creed, LCMHCA (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate). I work with adults, couples, teens/children, and families navigating a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, religious trauma, ADHD, body image/self-esteem struggles, boundary-setting, parenting, family dynamics, and life transitions.

Specialties:

• Anxiety/Depression

• Religious Trauma

• ADHD

• Body Image & Self-Esteem

• Parenting & Family Dynamics

• Life Transitions

• Grief

• Couples Counseling (Gottman Method and EFT)

I believe every individual holds a unique set of strengths and an immense capacity for growth. A core aspect of my work is the understanding that you are your own expert. In our sessions, I aim to help you better understand yourself—your motivations, your story, and the ways your past, beliefs, and experiences have shaped you—so that you can move toward the version of yourself you most want to be.

In my practice, I integrate a variety of therapeutic approaches, Emotion Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT), Gottman Couples Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), sand tray therapy, and strengths-based interventions.

When I’m not in the office, you can find me walking around parks or lakes with my pup and a friend, reading at a favorite coffee shop, trying out a new recipe with my partner, or planning my next mountain trip.

COUNSELING APPROACH

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, rooted in trust and openness. I believe in creating a warm and supportive environment where you feel safe, seen, and heard. I’ll walk alongside you as we explore your challenges and strengths, empowering you to make meaningful changes and step into the life you want to live.

I’m so honored to be working alongside you!
