About Courtney Steensma, LCSW

Hello! My name is Courtney and I am a licensed social worker with experience working with people of all ages. I consider my approach to treatment to be strengths-based, neuroaffirming, trauma-informed, and holistic. I utilize a variety of treatment modalities to meet the needs of each individual I am working with, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Child-Centered Play Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy. I have completed extensive training in Exposure and Response Prevention, and I am passionate about working with people struggling with OCD, phobias, and anxiety.

In addition to private practice, my experience includes providing in-home services to children and teens diagnosed with severe mental illness, and working with people struggling with substance abuse. I place a high value on continuing education so that I can provide you with the best care possible. My work in this field has prepared me to work with you or your child on various issues such as:

  • OCD

  • Phobias

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Trauma

  • Relationships and attachment

  • Autism and ADHD

  • Behavioral concerns

  • Social skills

  • Burnout recovery

  • Stress

  • Self-esteem;

  • And navigating daily life.

I look forward to hearing from you and discussing your personal goals so that I can help you or your child achieve their highest potential!
