with Jeanne Courtney, MFT

Whether you are looking for immediate help with a particular case, or an ongoing consultation relationship, I invite you to draw on my supportive approach and strong clinical expertise, to promote your clients' healing process and your own professional development.

My experience as a supervisor / consultant dates back to 1996, and includes a wide variety of populations and levels of care.  Supervisees and consultees have consistently told me that they feel comfortable talking openly with me about difficult issues, and they like my ability to translate clinical theory into practical, applicable, down-to-earth terms.

My particular areas of consultation expertise include

• interpreting and using countertransference
• resolving legal and ethical dilemmas
• talking with clients about money
• understanding and working with LGBT clients
• diagnosing, treating, and referring people with severe mental illness and/or chemical dependency

And some of my specialty areas as a therapist are

• body image
• codependency
• sexual identity
• depression
• sexual abuse survivors and their partners

I've developed and taught trainings on the following theories

• Kohutian Self Psychology
• Object Relations
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
• Intersubjectivity (Relational Therapy)
• Feminist Therapy

Currently, I offer CEU seminars for MFTs and LCSWs on

• Law and Ethics with an LGBT Focus
• Money Matters! Practical, Ethical Ways to Earn What You Deserve
• Body Image and Size / Self Acceptance

And these are some of the venues where I've provided training and/or supervision
