While starting therapy can seem daunting, I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space in which we'll explore your concerns together. Therapy is a journey of rediscovering clarity, purpose, and joy. I have experience working with a culturally diverse population and provide individual counseling to adolescents and adults. My focus is on counseling clients who are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, stressor related issues, anger management, interpersonal skills deficits, and cultural integration difficulties. As every client is unique, I tailor my therapeutic approach to match the client's needs, values, and goals.

Life is a journey and we are all just trying to find our way home. We tend to pick up a lot of "stuff" along the way that can get heavy and make the journey hard. Sometimes, we all just need to know that we can stop, unload our packs, and have the time and space to sort out the stuff that is weighing us down, allowing us to continue on with a lighter load. Welcome to Joyful Oak Counseling. My name is Courtenay McFarlin and it's an honor to walk with others as we take the time and space to sort through all that life has given us. It is my joy to guide others to restored hope, nurtured faith, and grounded love."

The life you had is gone. And you are alone facing an uncertain future. The storm of suffering has so consumed you, the struggles of everyday living bear no resemblance of who you are. The changes are present everywhere. There’s nowhere to put down this burden of loss and nowhere to escape this pain. There’s just you, alone and unsure how to move forward. Your mind desperately grasps at questions: Will I always feel this way? How long can I stand this? Will I survive?

Whatever it is that has prompted you to seek the support of a therapist at this time, I commend you for taking such an important first step. I see this as a sign of strength, and a commitment to address the challenges and obstacles you are currently facing. Having been in my own counseling at pivotal times throughout my life, I have a deep respect for the therapeutic process. It is only through vulnerability and authentic connection that we can truly cultivate the best versions of ourselves, and the counseling process provides a powerful vehicle for doing so. It would be my honor to assist you in this capacity.

Emotional awareness and processing are skills that many of us didn't get in our childhoods. Maybe we had a caregiver who was emotionally absent, unaware or even preoccupied with other things. Often work, relationships or sometimes even addictions. This absence of this attunement often leaves lingering core wounds in the adult child. These wounds can manifest as fear of emotions and even a distrust of oneself in one's ability to navigate the more difficult emotions. Even the lack self love and care. We learn how to simply cope with life or "survive". There is so much more to life than simply coping and surviving.

Have you ever experienced something painful or traumatic that changed the way you thought about yourself or the world? Maybe this experience (or experiences) left you feeling like your only goal in life was to survive--to steer clear of any further hurt, pain, anxiety, or stress? Have you found that your day-to-day life is centered around surviving--when you actually realize that you want to live? If you've ever felt this way or feel this way now--good news, you weren't broken then and you aren't broken now! You simply found a way to protect yourself, and this protection mechanism may no longer be helpful for you.

You've worked hard for the peaceful existence that you deserve and yet, you wake up feeling like it’s Groundhog day saying hello to anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma, yet again. You’ve tried all of the conventional things people have said to do like “go to the gym”, “make friends”, “have a drink to relax”, and yet life still isn't quite what you’ve envisioned and worked so hard for. Perhaps, some of the conventional pieces of advice have backfired. You've found that you're snapping at people you love, your eating patterns have become emotionally driven, online shopping is a battle, and the way you cope just isn't working.

Pause, and take a breath. You are where you need to be in this moment, present and safe. We often struggle with a void, a deep emptiness we often cannot explain. It leaves us feeling like we aren't good enough, unworthy, or alone. It’s time to quiet that voice. You no longer need to suffer alone. I am here to help you find serenity, strength, hope, and courage within yourself. Those demons you have kept inside deserve to be heard, processed, and understood. Let’s work together so you may find authenticity and peace within yourself.
