Courtney J. Burch, MS, LMFT
Hi, I'm Courtney!
​I'm the owner of Cardinal Therapy and Consulting and work in collaboration with HONEST. I provide therapeutic support to children, adolescents, and adults, with a focus on empowerment and self-determination.
My approach: I utilize harm-reduction strategies, helping clients make informed choices that improve their quality of life and foster self-respect and congruence between their personal goals and actions. I have extensive experience in the substance abuse world/12-step recovery, though I have a soft spot for harm reduction and forgiveness. I believe in working through wounds of early life, creating connection, and assisting clients in finding a joyful state of being (read more below).
​
As a clinician, I prioritize: Building strong rapport with my clients, understanding that a positive therapeutic alliance is crucial for facilitating meaningful change.
In my experience, a supportive and trusting relationship often serves as the foundation for personal growth and the exploration of new behaviors.
I particularly excel in working with: (1) Men's issues--such as, overcoming fears, establishing healthy boundaries, and revisiting ingrained belief systems to better align with their current identities, (2) couples attempting to rebuild love connections and strengthen bonds after a period of disconnection, and (3) children/teens and their parents due to my belief that a healthy system can heal the wounds of the family. My empathetic and playful nature enables me to connect effectively with families and their children, fostering a collaborative and nurturing therapeutic environment.
​
My clients describe me as: Humorous, direct, and relatable ​​
​
My favorite quote: "What matters most is how well you walk through the fire."
