Courtney Gowen, MSW, LCSW
I received both my Bachelor’s Degree and my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Florida State University. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in helping young adult women learn how to take control of their anxiety and depression.
My years working in community mental health settings, including child welfare and corrections, have provided me with the experience to help people from a variety of backgrounds who are dealing with significant life stressors including substance abuse, trauma, interpersonal stressors, and systemic oppression. I believe that we all have inside of us the ability to take control of our lives, and it is my job to be a supportive, authentic, and non-judgmental source of support on your path.
A quote that resonates with me and my approach to mental health, by the poet Sierra DeMulder, states “I am whole even as I grow.” My hope is to provide a safe, accepting, and inclusive space to be yourself, find your why, and piece together the never-ending work-in-progress that makes you human. A space to laugh, cry, gain clarity, hope, fail, and try again. It would be my honor to step into this journey with you.
