About Courtney Paules
With over 13 years of experience in the mental health field, I have dedicated my career to supporting compassionate, client-centered care across a variety of settings. My professional journey is equally divided between private practice and working within a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), where I have focused on serving underserved and marginalized populations.
Before transitioning into mental health, I supervised a head trauma unit and worked extensively with terminally ill clients, providing dialysis treatment and aftercare. These experiences shaped my holistic, empathetic approach to supporting individuals through all stages of their healing journey and reinforced the importance of treating every person with dignity, understanding, and compassion.
I genuinely love working in the mental health field and believe that the care a person receives extends far beyond the therapy room. It is important to me that every individual, from their very first interaction to their ongoing care and eventual transition out of services, is met with a friendly face, a kind word, and a genuine sense of support. I believe that even the smallest moments of kindness can make a meaningful difference, especially when someone is navigating difficult or vulnerable times in their life. My passion lies in supporting the whole person and ensuring that every client feels welcomed, respected, and cared for throughout their therapeutic experience.
As a proud ally and advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community, I am deeply committed to fostering inclusivity, understanding, and unity. I strive to help create an environment where every individual feels safe, valued, and accepted for who they are. Through my work, I hope to make a positive difference not only in the quality of care people receive, but also in how they feel throughout the entire process.
