Courtney Supple, LCSW

Courtney provides therapy to young adults, adults, elders, and gender-expansive individuals who are ready to heal from complex trauma and childhood sexual trauma. These early experiences often reemerge as substance use, codependency, depression, dissociation, anxiety, and self-harm in later life. 

With trauma, we often inherit or absorb distorted stories about our true selves, leaving us with feelings of uncertainty, instability, a lack of belonging, and for many, the belief that we are inherently broken or flawed, as if we are problems to be fixed. These distorted stories often manifest as symptoms such as depression, anxiety, self-harm, codependency, substance use, and dissociation.

Courtney believes that what society typically classifies as “mental health issues” are actually the mind, body, and spirit’s best attempts at self-protection. These reactions are shaped by our ancestral lineages, family of origin, and the broader sociopolitical, economic, cultural, and ecological contexts we inhabit.

As a therapist, Courtney walks alongside her clients, helping them excavate the stories that have influenced their lives. Together, they explore where these stories originated, whether they are true, and whose purposes they serve. Through this process, they develop skills and practices that allow them to confront and transform the once-protective thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that now cause harm. Drawing from a variety of disciplines—psychodynamic talk therapy, mindfulness skills, body-based practices, and spirituality—Courtney tailors interventions to meet the unique needs of each client.

Her goal is to empower her clients to take an active role in rewriting and living their own stories. To witness and collaborate in this journey is something Courtney finds both honorable and deeply meaningful. Courtney's areas of expertise include EMDR, Attachment-based therapies, EFT (Emotionally-Focused Therapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems), Somatic Approaches, and spirituality.
