Courtney Douds

Courtney Douds, an experienced clinical social worker and therapist, welcomes individuals seeking a profound understanding of their mental health challenges. In her practice, therapy is a sanctuary for exploring issues in-depth, focusing on identifying and eliminating the root causes rather than simply managing symptoms. Whether it's an individual's first venture into therapy, or they have previously engaged in techniques such as CBT or EMDR without finding their desired results, Courtney offers a space that emphasizes transformative, long-term change through psychoanalysis and psychodynamic therapy.

She understands the complexity of human relationships and the patterns that can lead to unhappiness, whether it involves repetitive arguments with parents, partners, or colleagues. Courtney is dedicated to providing a non-judgmental environment where clients can delve into the difficulties they often avoid, prompting them toward meaningful change for a healthier, happier life.

With the option of both in-person and phone sessions, Courtney makes it easy for clients to begin their journey. Her tranquil, private office in Center City serves as the perfect backdrop for individuals and couples alike, including those navigating nonmonogamy. The ‘talking cure’ has proven to be effective, and she invites clients to explore this supportive therapeutic approach with her.
