Getting to know Kourtney Carter

Hi there, I'm Kourtney! Hello, my name is Kourtney Carter, PhD, LCSW California 123086. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Clark Atlanta University and a Doctor of Health Administration from Walden University. My goal is to make you feel safe and free to share and process your thoughts, wounds, and goals in a nurturing space while incorporating clinical modalities. My approach The most common modalities I utilize are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and Person-Centered Therapy. My focus I have experience with couples counseling, grief, anxiety, depression, adjustment disorder, LGBTQIA issues, borderline personality disorder, as well as bipolar depression. My communication style My commitment is to ensure therapy feels relaxed, safe, and free of judgment. I believe the primary component of a patient's therapeutic journey is the patient-provider relationship. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist to normalize the need for mental health care in marginalized communities. I am driven to help people become their best selves by allowing them to heal wounds, organize their goals, and process their emotions in a healthy space. My goals for you I encourage clients to set honest goals-ones they feel will benefit their well-being. I ask questions such as why this goal is important, whether they have tried to complete it before, and what barriers they faced. I remind clients that if they are unable to complete a goal within our agreed timeframe, that is okay too. Goals take time. My first session with you Clients should expect an opportunity to be heard, identify their treatment goals, and share how I can best support them as a provider.
