Courtney’s passion for helping others is evident upon meeting her. Through the power of acceptance and commitment, Courtney is able to facilitate lasting change among individuals, families and systems by promoting hope throughout all circumstance. Throughout Courtney’s work as a psychotherapist at Symmetry Counseling, and Clinical Director for the non-profit Renewed, she realized there was a large gap in treatment services for anxiety and depression in Nashville.

Courtney has chaired large fundraisers over the past 15 years in efforts to raise awareness for various causes in and around Nashville including domestic violence, breast cancer, eating disorder awareness and addiction. Courtney is a trained interventionist (BRI-II), maintaining a passion for being on the “front lines” of change, and currently serves as the Clinical Director for Renewed, a statewide non-profit providing help, hope and support for all those suffering from disordered eating. Additionally, Courtney serves as the Chief Clinical Officer for Recovery Club America, a nationwide, online community to heal mental health and substance use through connection, coaching and therapy.

Courtney has a strong music background as well. She is a classically trained pianist and opera singer, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Opera Performance, and has been a part of the Nashville music industry since 1998.

Committed to shifting social undercurrent, Courtney’s desire to create The Collective aims to model compassion and understanding towards self and others in order to heal, protect, educate and advocate for a life well lived.
