Courtney Frerichs, LIMHP
I am a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner with over twenty years of experience across various professional settings. My expertise lies in helping individuals heal from betrayal trauma resulting from infidelity or sex/pornography addiction. Additionally, I am affirming of both LGBTQ+ identities and polyamorous relationships.
My work extends to supporting parents facing the challenges of raising a medically fragile or disabled child. I also help individuals deepen their understanding of depression, PTSD, and anxiety, while working toward improved mental and emotional well-being. I enjoy assisting both women and men in navigating the unique challenges they face, and I find fulfillment in working with veterans and their families, drawing from my own experience supporting my husband during his time in the military. Other areas of expertise include grief counseling, aging issues, codependency, and stress management.
In my practice, I utilize cognitive-behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and a strong, compassionate, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, often incorporating humor when appropriate. I deeply respect the courage it takes for individuals to seek help and share their personal stories, especially when those stories include painful experiences.
