About
I strongly believe in a person’s ability to be able to overcome difficult situations that may arise in their lives. That ability comes from self-motivation and guidance using a unified approach by problem solving, gaining insight, and implementing strategies to alleviate symptoms. My name is Courtney and I have 15 years of experience. I hold a Master's of Science degree in Mental Health Counseling from UAlbany. Prior to obtaining my Master's degree, I attended UCONN to double major in Psychology and Human Development and Family Studies. I am currently licensed as an LPC in the state of Connecticut. I have experience providing group, individual, and family therapy in the community, inpatient hospital, outpatient facility, group home, and residential settings. I have been able to serve diverse populations and have varied experience with people of differing ages, race, religion, sexual orientation, and diagnoses. I am passionate about working with individuals struggling with parenting and behavioral needs of their children, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, and substance abuse. I typically use CBT, mindfulness, dialectical behavioral therapy, and solution focused techniques to assist in mitigating the struggles people are experiencing. Most importantly I use a collaborative approach as the client is the expert of their lives and my role is to help provide guidance and feedback rather than to dictate and force opinions. I look forward to meeting you and being a help to you in anyway that I can.

Marriage counseling, also known as couples therapy and relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Thriveworks marriage counseling in Milford, CT is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within Marriage counseling include:
Marriage counseling works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular marriage counseling sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Marriage counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend marriage counseling for 12 weeks. However, marriage counseling may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.

You might be wondering, “Does marriage counseling work?” Let’s understand the goal of this type of therapy to answer this question. Marriage counseling is a form of couples therapy that helps spouses identify and work through the conflicts in their marriage. With a marriage counselor’s help, you and your partner can better understand areas of improvement in your relationship.
Marriage counseling is led by qualified, licensed therapists known as marriage and family therapists (LMFT) who can offer both marriage and family counseling. These professionals have completed graduate or postgraduate degrees and have specific skills, training, and experience in helping married couples. This form of counseling is often short-term: In some circumstances, both individuals will attend and participate in every session; in other circumstances, one partner might work with the counselor alone. This depends on the specific plan that your counselor or psychologist designs based on your relationship needs and marriage counseling goals.
A wide range of couples can benefit from marriage counseling. Some couples decide to pursue marriage counseling to further solidify or strengthen their relationship, while other couples seek out marriage counseling because their marriage is in trouble. Here are a few specific issues that are commonly discussed in marriage counseling:
