Hello!
I am Dr. Courtney Y. Washington (Doctor C), and I encourage you to invite change in your life. Welcome to taking the first step into a brighter future for yourself: I commend you.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I have been providing counseling services for over 10 years to many adults, families and couples. I enjoy working with a diverse population, and I am able to provide counseling services to fit the individual need of the client served. I have worked in the specialty areas of: depression, stress & anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, self-esteem, pre-marital, marital, couples, families, anger management and mental health including Bi-Polar and Schizophrenia. My primary focus is to first build rapport, establish desired goals, and work with you to achieve those goals. Through the achievement of these goals, I will work to diminish any worry, stress, or anxiety that you may face and will assist with building coping and relaxation skills.
It takes time to achieve your goals, and I am here to work with you throughout your needed time frame, and will work to give you all the needed tools to help you remain successful after counseling is complete.
I am looking forward to meeting and working with you. Here is to a great and bright future ahead!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Love Dr. C. I’ve been a client for years now and she is my backbone. I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety my whole life. I am so greatful to have her on my team- I’ve never felt as connected and relaxed as I do in my life now. It’s something that’s invaluable to me.
Wonderful therapist whom I would and have recommended to others.

Dr. Washington has been my therapist through better help for years now. I can’t overstate how this has improved my life. I have struggled with anxiety, depression, grief and health problems. She has been there to help for all of it. It’s priceless to have an outside perspective and I am so grateful for her.
She is phenomenal! She cares genuinely. She’s smart, and wholesome! I feel safe
Truly enjoy therapy with Dr. Washington she gives very insightful advice and very useful. Also gives homework which is very important.
I had been depressed for years, Dr. Washington gave me a path way to better. She’s the best therapist I’ve ever had
I have been talking to my therapist via text and phone calls for a few years now. Honestly my life has completely turned around because of the hard work I’ve done with her help. I feel super comfortable with her now and‘s it’s easy to be honest and hold myself accountable. Signing up was one of the best decision I ever made!
Very understanding, empathic and gives good counsel and home work between sessions.
Doctor Washington is an excellent therapist. I’ve already grown so much thanks in large part to her help, and I’m excited to keep learning and growing because of her assistance.
I love doing therepy with Dr. Washington. She has been a central part of my self help journey for 2 years now and has helped me work through some of the toughest stuff. Talking to her is the highlight of my week and I don't know what I would do without her.
Extremely helpful
She(Dr C) really listens and has been very helpful with her insights into my issues at hand. I would recommend her to anyone looking for Guidance and help with relationships issues.
I have been seeing Dr. C now for a couple years. She has been the biggest blessing in my life. From larger issues to the smallest day-to-day things in life, I can always count on her, she’s always flexible with me and understands what I am looking for. I feel like she is my biggest cheerleader, and it has really changed my life so much to have her on my side as my therapist. As far as I’m concerned, I will stay in therapy forever and she is someone who I feel so comfortable with.
Dr Washington felt like a close friend right away. She’s such a great listener and always checks in on me when I get distant. Always ready with a thoughtful response even when I would spill multiple pages of messages about my feelings in the middle of the night.
Dr. C has been incredibly helpful for me, and has been a crucial pet in the personal journey I have been on this last year. I highly recommend her for anyone else struggling with depression or generally trying to make healthier choices in life, she has been a great guidance for me.
She's the best, really cares for me, makes sure to always check in on me.
Amazing! Very personable and helpful. Easy to contact and connect with. Would recommend to anyone.
Dr. C responds very sensitively, but direct to my messages in a very timely manner. I respect and appreciate her and have only been using better help for a few weeks. She really seems to know what I need to hear, and is motivating. She’s a hero for me right now.
I have enjoyed my interaction with Dr. C. She is extremely responsive and always available when I need her. I enjoy our conversations and she makes me feel about myself. I appreciate her counsel and recommendations to help improve my relationship with my spouse. She has been a solid resource for me to lean on as needed.
Dr. Washington is amazing and she has helped me so much! I highly recommend her to anyone. Talking to her is like talking to a close friend. She's very quick to reply and always has great feedback and advice.
Dr. Washington so far has been prompt courteous and respectful of my needs. She seems to understand me and although we've only been in counseling for a couple of weeks it seems to have helped me already.
