I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience. I work with people who are facing challenging times in their lives. Sometimes the most valuable think I can do for you is to listen and care. Other times, you might need help identifying the underlying cause of a feeling or conflict in your life. I am trained as a Relational-Cultural Therapist and believe the work of healing happens in relationship (between the client and the therapist as well as in relationships in day-to-day life). I utilize therapeutic skills from a variety of models including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). No matter how big or small the issue you want to discuss, I believe that my therapeutic techniques will be helpful to you. Contact me when you're ready to get started.

Hello- I am Courtney Groce, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Jefferson City, MO. As a counselor for the last 7 years and a mental health professional for the last 10 years, I have experience in a variety of areas such as: Substance Abuse Counseling, Co-occurring, Trauma, Grief, and as well as many other areas. I started my journey as therapist at the Lincoln University of Missouri counseling students in a transitional stage of their lives. During that time I learned the importance of having support in the most difficult times of your life, due to the high rate of people struggling with anxiety and depression. It is my goal that through therapy I will be able to help you overcome any struggles that you may be facing in your life's journey right now. The counseling approaches I use are mindfulness based, because I truly believe that once we get out of our head and into our lives we will not just survive but we will start to thrive. We also know that change is hard, and sometimes it takes times and support to make a sustainable change that will really impact our lives. So I am here to walk through this journey with you for a better tomorrow.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Missouri with 4 years of professional experience. I’ve worked with families, couples, and individuals from ages of 4 years old to those in their mid 60’s, and tend to specialize most in working with adolescents and those in their young to mid adult years. I have experience in helping those with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, confidence, and overall helping people learn and understand themselves more. With each unique person I work with, I strive to form a trusting and strong therapeutic rapport, and to provide a safe, empathetic environment of unconditional positive regard to help support each person through their healing journey. I’ve been a therapy client myself, and it takes work, time, commitment, and patience. All of that can feel scary and overwhelming on its own, and it’s through my therapeutic approach where I strive to help therapy be an opportunity to help those I work with learn how to overcome challenges and grow in empowerment, and to be able to continue maintaining that growth on their own even when they no longer need therapy. I tend to utilize therapeutic interventions such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), Motivational Interviewing skills, Solution based approaches, DBT skills (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy), and I’m trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing). It’s through these interventions that I work to meet each individual where they’re at in their growth, and support them in becoming empowered to make consistent and long term progress for themselves.
