Courtney Markowitz

Courtney Markowitz is a licensed marriage and family therapist who specializes in assisting individuals grappling with depression, anxiety, and trauma, particularly when these issues hinder their ability to regulate emotions. She supports clients facing overwhelming anxiety, which can manifest as behaviors like withdrawal from social situations and self-injurious actions. Her approach involves guiding clients willing to explore their childhood experiences and unconscious motivations, enhancing their self-awareness and understanding of current behaviors. Additionally, Courtney works with couples facing challenges in communication that contribute to dissatisfaction in their relationships. Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and perspective-taking techniques within the therapeutic alliance, she equips her clients with skills to effectively manage and alleviate their symptoms. With a focus on balancing acceptance and change, Courtney believes in recognizing that while one's feelings and behaviors may be understandable, they might not be serving them well, creating a pathway for transformation. Her dedication lies in understanding her clients' unique worldviews and helping them navigate their inner landscapes to change what isn't working in their lives. In the face of anxiety and various mental health challenges, Courtney is passionate about empowering individuals to learn how to manage these difficulties, guiding them toward their most authentic selves.
