Courtney Loyola, MA, LPC

My clients describe me as:

Compassionate, empathetic, direct and real. I never shame my clients for their current struggles, but help them understand the 'why' and how to heal.

Something to know about my approach is:

I use a complex approach to treat complex trauma. I use CBT, EMDR, somatic experiencing and shadow work to get to the root of the problem. My approach is to help clients heal fully from trauma to not bring the old, negative patterns into their future

Together, we will:

Learn the root cause of your current patterns and thoughts by identifying core beliefs that are unhealthy. We will learn the 'why' of your behaviors and change your core beliefs to healthy and empowering. You will learn to trust your intuition again.

I specialize in working with people who:

Are survivors of complex trauma, narcissistic abuse and dissociation. I specialize in working from a root based perspective and help those break free from unhealthy patterns that plague their day to day interactions and relationships.

I became a therapist because:

I am a complex trauma survivor and wanted to help others overcome their own trauma. I understand that my own healing journey can provide insight.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

My therapy space is intended to feel like a spa. The goal is for you to feel like your therapy is self care and an oasis from your day to day life.

More about me and my practice:

Complex trauma healing requires a holistic approach. I pride myself on individualizing treatment for each client, allowing them to be the expert on their experience. I believe my clients trauma and never shame them for what they have been through.
