Courtney Joaquin, LAC(She/Her/Hers)

I support teens and adults navigating life’s challenges—anxiety, depression, substance use, and big transitions. In a safe, nonjudgmental space, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, uncover your strengths, and find practical ways to move forward. Together, we’ll build insight, resilience, and a deeper connection to yourself.

I bring a warm and welcoming presence to each session, often using humor to help build connection and ease the conversation. I strive to create a safe space where you can show up as your authentic self and feel truly heard. I believe every client deserves personalized care from the very start of their therapy journey—and you might even get a visit from my dog, Rusty, during a session!

Starting therapy can feel daunting, and that’s perfectly normal. Taking the first step is an act of courage—and you don’t have to do it alone. I’ll support you as we explore what’s holding you back, uncover your strengths, and create lasting, meaningful change.
