She earned a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from Benedictine University in Illinois and holds the credentials LPC and LCMHC - LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor and LCMHC means Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. She is also a Nationally Certified Counselor and a nationally certified trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapist, indicating specialized training in trauma-focused CBT techniques.

Courtney's work has spanned a wide range of presenting concerns, including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, dissociative identity disorder, borderline personality disorder, and addiction-related issues. She has provided services to people affected by domestic violence as both survivors and perpetrators, supported clients who were court-ordered to attend anger management or parenting classes, and offered trauma counseling for those processing difficult experiences.
