Therapist in Walnut Creek, California,
Anne Courtney, LMFT

Perhaps you are seeking out therapy for relief from some personal distress, a perplexing concern, or a painful life circumstance such as loss or grief. Being in pain is an uncomfortable place to be. I welcome the opportunity to be present with you as you resolve your concerns and increase your awareness. No matter what your concern is, everything you need to bounce back is already within you so that you may discover a sense of relief and clarity about your life, a greater ability to be compassionate with yourself, discover new possibilities, and locate fresh energy to shift into being more fully who you are. I am a seasoned heart-centered Licensed Marriage Family Therapist. My approach is both collaborative and active. In working with you, I take my cues from your most important needs and draw on a wide variety of approaches to suit your particular challenges. I have a special interest in the power of self-compassion, inherent resilience, and wellbeing. Resilience comes from within and transformation occurs from the inside out. I am dedicated to offering you excellent psychotherapeutic attention combined with old fashioned caring and I help you to set goals that you would like to realize in our work together. My background includes practicing in a variety of clinical settings which has provided me with extensive experience with adults, couples, teens and families.
