About Counseling with courtney, pllc
Welcome to Counseling with Courtney, PLLC! I hope you're so proud of yourself for taking these initial steps in exploring the therapy supports available to you, including individual counseling that can be tailored to your unique needs.
CWC is owned and operated by Courtney McGrue, a licensed social worker and native to the PNW. I completed my BA and MSW from the University of Washington - Seattle and have gained over 15 years of social service experience in various arenas - including teen residential facilities, hygiene centers for the unhoused, the child welfare system, elderly medical care, birth work, grief support, group facilitation, curriculum development, crisis support, and providing clinical supervision to emerging professionals.
As a therapist, I believe in a direct, yet compassionate approach to counseling, utilizing diverse therapy modalities to meet your needs. I aim to provide a space where honesty and empathy go hand in hand - where we can have real conversations that foster insight and growth. My goal is to understand not only your challenges, but also the full context of your life, experiences, relationships, and the unique factors that shape you. I aim to help you make sense of your experiences and move toward meaningful change. Therapy with me isn't about quick, easy fixes, but about deep understanding, practical strategies, and discovering what truly works for you.
If you're looking for a space where you can be heard, challenged, and supported in equal measure, I'm here to walk that path with you.
Therapy Approach
I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and draw from several therapy modalities, including Attachment Theory, Cognitive/Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (C/DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Motivational Interviewing. I work from a trauma-informed lens and a social justice framework, which also inform my approach to clinical supervision.
Together, we will uncover the best method to support your needs and goals through individual counseling.
While experienced working with a diverse population and through many mental health challenges, my main areas of focus are anxiety, depression, foster care, grief, identity exploration, internalized oppression, life transitions, self-esteem struggles, and work stress/burnout. I am most passionate about working with BIPOC, children, teens, and families across generations.
