Surviving to Thriving

Through empowerment, healing, and faith-informed care.

Life doesn't have to feel like a constant cycle of doing more while feeling less. If you've been pouring into others, carrying invisible wounds, or wondering if change is even possible—this space was created for you.

Meet Your Therapist

Hi, I'm Courtney Kirschten, a board-certified, licensed clinical mental health therapist. I believe therapy should empower you, not create dependency. My work combines evidence-based approaches with compassion, helping you not just survive, but truly thrive.

I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, and relationship issues for high-functioning adults, empaths, and those who've struggled with self-abandonment, to expand into rediscovering their voice, reconnecting with their values, and experiencing real transformation aligned with their goals.
