Welcome,
My name is Courtney Paxson, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Jupiter, Florida. I have a passion for psychology, mental health, emotional healing, and overall well being. My personal journey in this field has given me unique insight into how to best assist my clients. I believe we should all take the time to practice self care and to learn about ourselves beneath the surface.
I look forward to connecting with you…
Services
-
Method & Specialization
I incorporate a mix of evidence based practices, matching what is needed to each client's individual situation. Though my specialty is learning to understand someone on a deeper level, through a psychoanalytic approach. I have found that this path provides long term healing and desired change. I specialize in relationship issues, codependency, anxiety, depression, and always view individuals through a holistic and trauma informed lens.

Counseling and Coaching
I offer individual counseling sessions as well as couples therapy. Additionally, from a solutions focused perspective, I may assist with other needs, such as life and relationship coaching.

What to Expect
I help individuals get in touch with their authentic selves, learn to recognize and regulate emotions, and shift out of behavioral patterns that are no longer serving them; ultimately to help them become happier and healthier. I additionally work with couples to communicate and feel seen and validated, rather than continuing to go in circles around issues, never reaching resolve. Come to process and seek healing and connection.
I began working in treatment for substance abuse and mental health issues in 2019 while completing my Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Since leaving care at inpatient centers in 2021, I have continued training and honed a psychoanalytic perspective through multiple years of psychoanalytic supervision.
I explore core issues relating to family dynamics and attachment styles, and find that these themes connect to many anxieties and stressors in the present. As previously noted, I specialize in relationship issues and codependency (which manifests not only in romantic relationships, but in friendships, family relationships, and even work relationships). I have also worked extensively with clients suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma, grief/loss, chronic pain, women’s issues, and more.
I have worked with various industry experts to provide services to my community over the past five years, including partnering with non-profit organization Stoked on Life Palm Beach.
My experience is my strongest credential, and I am confident in my ability to help you make lasting changes in your life. Reach out to see if we are a good fit!
