Dr. Pelton has taught me a lot of strategies to help me manage my anxiety. I'm definetly seeing the benefits of therapy.
Great session. She listened to my concerns and we discussed strategies to make my condition better. Highly recommend.
Not easy to talk to. Laughed at one problem I mentioned. Just not a good feel from her at all. Would never go back

Very good!
She was WONDERFUL! One of the best psychologists I have ever seen. I am just disappointed she is dropping my insurance on 1/1/18 so I will only have 3 months to see her!

Verified patient
Dr. Pelton is warm and receptive active listener. She made the appointment an easy experience and I truly felt supported and heard.
Great experience with Courtnee.
The very minute she greeted me, I was instantly comfortable with her! Dr. Pelton was so welcoming and gave off a vibe that set me perfectly at ease to the point where I had absolutely no problem opening up to her. She also responded articulate , positively and left me feeling she really listened and put deep thought into what she said. I definitely will be seeing her regularly!
Verified patient
Though I've only visited with Dr. Pelton once, I plan on continuing my therapy experience with her. She immediately shed light on my situation during a variety of topic discussions. I was impressed with how well she articulated her guidance - especially toward how my past has affected my current, present-time behaviors. I'm looking forward to my next visit already and in exploring my situation on a deeper level.
Verified patient
Hands down, the best experience I've ever had. I'm usually very wary of going in for mental health purposes, but Courtnee made me feel accepted and at home.
Very professional and easy to talk to.
I was impressed with her credentials and previous work treating PTSD. The fact that she has Military experience was plus. Looking forward to working with her.
Verified patient
Courtnee is articulate, intelligent and sociable--near as I can tell the three most important qualities in a therapist. I was surprised ah how quickly I was sold on her approach to therapy. Well recommended.
Verified patient
Dr. Pelton's professional advice in conjunction with her professional and occupational experience with the U.S. Government was very beneficial. I truly appreciated her insight and professional advice and plan to see her in the future.
Dr. Pelton might be a little young and EXTREMELY attractive, but she is absolutely professional about her work. She is very knowledgeable and caring, but she is more than just a shoulder to cry on. This was only my first visit, so I can't comment on her effectiveness yet.
She is so great! I cannot recommend her enough
Excellent! Very helpful
Dr. Pelton is a wonderful person to speaking to, and is both professional and compassionate. I highly recommend her as a psychologist.
For me, it has been a very good choice so far. She is a great doctor and genuinely cares about my problems. I actually had progress after the first session, which I did not expect at all. Also, from the follow-up session it looked to me like she has also thought about and reviewed my case out of our session, which is very rare I think. I have tried other psychologists before, and sometimes you have to keep reminding them of things you've already said before. With her I think there will be a faster progress because she actually cares and is also intelligent enough to identify different possibilities that led to a problem and find practical ways for you to face each part of your issue. I highly recommend her.
The things I discussed were difficult. I felt Dr. Pelton was attentive and provided a clear approach on solutions to my issues. I am happy to be moving forward in therapy with her.
Verified patient
Has been very helpful and beneficial. From even the first visit I feel like I am learning more each session and that is helping overall.
Easy to find right near Tyson's Corner Mall. Her demeanor is very professional, easy to talk to, and is very knowledgeable about using cognitive behavioral therapy to help with anxiety and depression.
