Courtney Duncan, MSW, LCSW

Welcome! I’m Courtney, a licensed clinical social worker dedicated to providing compassionate, personalized care for anyone navigating life’s challenges. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, unpacking trauma, navigating relationships, or anything in between, I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and meaningful change. I place great importance on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and goals while feeling heard, supported, and empowered. My approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, humor, and cultural humility. My deep understanding and insight into mental health allow me to form genuine, meaningful connections with my clients.

I have a clinical background working with children, teens, young adults, and families. My expertise includes supporting clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, ADD/ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, OCD, behavior management, ODD, LGBTQ+ issues, family relationships, and life transitions. With experience as a school social worker, I have extensive knowledge of special education and the needs of neurodiverse individuals. I am skilled in developing and implementing IEPs, 504 plans, behavioral plans, and school accommodations, as well as advocating for the needs of students and their families.

I believe that a strong, trusting therapist-client relationship is the cornerstone of effective therapy. Together, we will process the challenges you’ve experienced, confront negative thought patterns, discover your strengths and aspirations, build skills to help you achieve your goals, and cultivate compassion for yourself and others.
