Courtney Thurston LPC, ATR

(she/her/hers)

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan and a Registered Art Therapist (ATR).

I focus on giving helpful education and resources for building a solid base for mental wellness. I believe in a collaborative approach that supports you in achieving your goals.

I like to use a virtual whiteboard in sessions. It helps me understand you better and adds a useful tool for our therapy. I have worked with individuals who are neurodiverse, people in healthcare, and those recovering from burnout.

I strive to create a safe and trusting space to empower you on your path to better mental health.

Land Acknolwedgment

I live and work on the land of the Anishinabewaki, Meškwahki·aša·hina, Bodwéwadmi, and Peoria peoples, known colonially as Jackson, Michigan. I am grateful to the elders for their stewardship of this land. This acknowledgment is a small step towards healing and decolonization. I encourage you to learn about the land you inhabit using Native Land Digital.
