Getting to know Tessa Courtney

Hi there, I'm Tessa! I work primarily with adolescents and young adults to help them identify roadblocks on their path to success. I specialize in working with young people with anxiety and depression, with a special focus on LGBTQ+ identifying folks. I believe that we all have strengths that we rely on, no matter our situation, and I think it's important to identify those strengths and focus treatment on enhancing them. Whether you're dealing with relationship issues, anxiety over school performance, challenging family dynamics, or cycles of intrusive thoughts, I am here to help. In our sessions, I will focus on whatever you are bringing to the space that day, with the backing of evidence-based techniques and interventions. I believe in working with the whole self and enjoy incorporating somatic approaches into my work. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Chicago, which has equipped me with a strong foundation to support you effectively. Let's see how we can grow together!

What should a new client know about working with you?

I use a strength-based approach to therapy that helps clients identify their own strengths and enhance them to solve problems. I believe that each of us has the answers we need, but sometimes it can help to bounce ideas off a qualified professional! After sessions with me, you should leave with specific solutions to problems you are facing in life, and hopefully a better approach to framing future problems.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
