About Me

Hi! I am a licensed mental health counselor with 10 years of experience working with a range of populations to include: families, couples, at risk youth and young adults, and the incarcerated population. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues/divorce, parenting problems, grief counseling, and anger management. I have also helped those with stress related issues and symptoms of PTSD.
My counseling style is accepting and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, and client centered therapy, however I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support you!

I look forward to working with you!

I think when someone reaches out to get counseling, they are hoping for someone that is capable, insightful, and able to communicate their educational knowledge. Mrs. Congwer is the most capable, insightful, and relatable professional one could hope for.

Courtney is courteous, friendly, patient and observing. She engages very professionally with my issues and concerns, and try to narrow it down to one root cause, so to find a solution. Also, she is respectful of my limitations and always ask for my viewpoint throughout the process.
