At Courtenay Monfore Therapy, I can help you get “unstuck” in your life by figuring out the root of what is overwhelming and putting you back in control of yourself. You’re not alone in this journey.
It’s that constant feeling of stress.
No matter what you’re doing in your life, whether it’s working, being with family or trying to relax at home, there’s an underlying, persistent, worn-out, negative feeling.
You’re not even sure how it got to this point, but the worry and frustration just seems to overwhelm you.
You’re having a hard time managing your emotions. You find yourself replaying past pains and mistakes. You try to cover it up when you’re with family and friends.
You’re worried about what will happen if you can’t find a way to feel more in control, and fear that things won’t get better.
The truth though is that the way you feel right now isn’t permanent. You don’t have to feel stuck. Change is possible, it just takes the right guide to help make it happen.
I Am Here to Help
Anxiety, conflict and overwhelm creep up on us when our own needs, or the needs of those we love, are not met.
We become disconnected and don’t notice how the disappointments and worries over time have snowballed into our bigger sources of stress.
Therapy gets us in touch with ourselves to understand what is happening and provides the tools to manage the overwhelm.
Letting Go & Get Out Of Feeling Stuck
When you experience real change, you feel connected to those you love, you feel more joy and a greater sense of peace.
You can move through life with a greater sense of confidence, knowing you can tackle any challenge that comes your way.
If you’re ready to break free from feeling stuck, then I’m ready to help you on your journey.

I’m here to guide and support you on your healing journey. Let’s talk.

What Makes My Practice Different
01
In-Person Or Online Therapy
I offer both in-person therapy at my convenient Charlotte office as well as online counseling, for all NC & SC so you can get therapy the way you want it.
02
Trauma Focused
I believe that trauma underlies all the troubling thoughts and behaviors that we experience. By letting it go, we can naturally think and experience things differently.
03
Free Initial 15m Consultation
When you reach out, I’ll get back to you within 24 hours and we’ll have a call to ensure I’m the right therapist to help you!
04
Goal Oriented Therapy
In therapy, I want to help you reach the results you’re looking for, so you can know you’re on the right track from day one.
How I Can Help
I know how frustrating it can be when it feels like you’re in a combative state with your thoughts and the stress that shows up in your body. It doesn’t seem to ever turn off. From the moment you wake up until the time you fall asleep, it’s just a constant buzz. Therapy can help you figure out why your mind is working overtime, and then find ways to calm it down.
You can have that peace and no longer always be in your head.
For Individuals Who Can’t Stop Overthinking
When you have tension in the home, it feels like no place is safe. The home is supposed to be a sanctuary when you recover before going out into the world, but right now it’s causing even more stress. I work with couples to get to the root cause of why the conflict is occurring, and work through
those underlying issues.
Working together and one at a time, couples counseling can help you create a home you finally enjoy.
For Couples Who Can’t Stop Fighting
I see you, and I hear you. At this stage, everything can feel overwhelming, from school, to home life, to friends. It’s a mess. I work with teens to help get on top of the overwhelm, put things in order, and reduce the anxiety about the future. This is your time.
If you’ve been on the fence about therapy, know that reaching out can be the
best step you take in creating the life that you want.
For Teens Who Feel Lost
Living with social anxiety can be challenging, but you’re not alone. Seeking therapy is a brave and empowering step towards reclaiming your life. Therapy offers a safe space to explore your feelings, understand your triggers, and develop strategies to manage anxiety.
With the guidance of a compassionate therapist, you can build confidence, improve your social skills, and find the courage to connect with others.

Rates & FAQ
-
My rate is $190 per session.
You can also use your HSA/FSA card.

I am considered an “Out-Of-Network” provider, which means I do not accept any insurance directly. I’ve made the decision to work directly with my clients regarding payment, and they are very satisfied with this arrangement.
If you would still like to use your insurance, then you can potentially do so if your insurance plan has “Out-Of-Network” benefits. The way that would work is, you would pay for therapy at the time of the session, and then I will provide you with a “superbill” that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
I would recommend calling your insurance company to confirm if your insurance policy has OON benefits for mental health services.
Otherwise you can choose to see me privately and not involve your insurance at all. See why many of my clients choose this option below.

You can’t change your partner, and you can’t force them to come to therapy. You only have control over yourself.
That said, a relationship is a dynamic system. While it’s ideal to have both partners in sessions, you can shift the system on your own. Therapy can help you recognize the patterns at play in your relationship and identify ways to change unhelpful words and behaviors. Once you start to make positive changes, your relationship is likely to grow in response.

Most of my clients actually prefer to work with me privately and not involve their insurance at all. This is because in order to use your insurance for counseling, a mental health diagnosis is required, and this gets attached to your record. If your challenges don’t meet the threshold of a diagnosis, then insurance companies can choose not to cover your therapy.
-Insurance can put limitations on the number of counseling sessions you can have, prior to truly completing the process.
-An insurance company has a right to call the therapist and ask how sessions are going
-At any point they can say that therapy is no longer medically necessary and cancel the coverage
And by not taking insurance, I’m able to maintain a smaller caseload of clientele and devote all of my focus into helping people.
Instead of taking hours each week going back and forth with insurance, I devote that time and energy to my clients, resulting in better outcomes for therapy.
If you have more questions about this, or have questions about finding your OON benefits and would like to discuss, then I recommend reaching out to me on my contact page and I’d be happy to answer any questions.

When doing Brainspotting therapy, your anxieties are reduced gently using the body’s natural capacity to heal itself rather than talking about it in circles; which can be re-traumatizing for many people. Brainspotting is an incredibly effective brain-body therapy approach that uses one’s field of vision to address blocks and stuck experiences in the subcortical part of the brain. Brainspotting is one of the most effective treatments for trauma and PTSD. It can also be used for enhancing creativity, expanding performance abilities and overcoming creative blocks.
Unlike talk therapy, Brainspotting takes less time and tends to be more focused. Some issues can be healed remarkably fast in two or three sessions. Others take longer needing 5, 10, or 20 sessions. Even if it takes longer, the amount of time taken is a fraction of that taken with traditional talk therapy and the healing continues beyond the time frame of the therapy session. View videos about Brainspotting below.

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me catching up on a NYT article, coaxing my family to take a trail walk with me, attempting a new recipe in the kitchen or squeezing in time with friends. I am also a podcast junkie, a mango lover, wanna-be plant lady, a cheating vegan and an old soul.
