Cortnie Valle, LMFT, CCTP

Our journey through life can be filled with a plethora of emotions and experiences ranging from ultimate joy to the depths of despair. How we handle and move through these phases is heavily influenced by the way we saw our parents and family members deal with it. Understanding the impact of the dynamics of our family of origin can bring about clarity and understanding of how we operate and our worldview. Ultimately, this does not have to define us in a negative way. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I will work with you to identify these influences and patterns affecting your current functioning and work alongside you to process. I always work on myself so that I can continuously grow and also help others do the same in their own lives. I am passionate about healthy relationships and ultimately would love to see everyone happy in all of theirs. When you work with me, you will receive unconditional support, encouragement and someone who will give you the space to be heard.  I use a collaborative approach which means I get to know you, your individual needs and tailor my interventions to what would work best for you.  I utilize relational therapy models such as Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Bowen's Intergenerational Therapy and individual based models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.   I am passionate about working with people who have experienced trauma, anxiety, relationship/marital issues, grief, depression, communication issues and more. My goal is to support you through whatever you need and provide you with some lifelong tools for self-improvement and continuous growth.
