I would be honored to help you discover the joy that is possible in motherhood, especially for a deeply feeling, highly sensitive and beautifully different woman like you!.
Do you struggle with motherhood more than other women you know? Do you constantly worry that you are a “bad mom?” Do you feel completely overwhelmed by parenting, like some moments are even painful to you? If so, you've come to the right place. Motherhood is one of the hardest and most overstimulating experiences a woman will ever know — especially when you're a mom with ADHD, autism, sensory processing challenges or other neurodivergent traits. When your unique nervous system is always feeling tapped out, it's no wonder you feel trapped in your life as a mom!

Now Accepting New Clients! You’re done white-knuckling your way through this. The anxiety, the constant decision making, the toxic relationships that you've successfully managed for years are turning you into someone you don't like. You feel your life spinning off axis.

I also believe that women are inherently resilient.
I specialize in working with women, with a special focus on maternal mental health and motherhood. This includes navigating change and transitions, family planning, fertility/infertility, pregnancy and postpartum, grief/loss, matrescence and identity development in motherhood, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders such as postpartum depression/anxiety/ptsd/ocd. If you feel overwhelmed, easily agitated, numb or disconnected from yourself, and if you are 'surviving' more than 'thriving'- you are not alone. I am here to support you in your journey toward greater well-being by offering a supportive space for growth and healing.

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.

Perhaps you have lost your balance in relationships or daily expectations, or experienced trauma that has paralyzed you from moving forward, or maybe you are expecting a loss or experienced loss. Or maybe you are a special needs parent who is overwhelmed. I believe the inevitable struggles we encounter in life allow us opportunities to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. Some experiences are brief and cause minor bumps. But sometimes those stuck points remain and affect your everyday experience in a limiting way due to trauma, grief, or simply getting derailed from your life purpose.

Finding a therapist that you can relate to may be the most important part of therapy. My goal is to create an environment where you feel safe and supported, so that you can open up and get the most out of your sessions. Sometimes starting this process can seem a little overwhelming. Maybe you're not sure where to begin with all of this. Maybe you're feeling a little anxious, or perhaps you suffer from "analysis paralysis." I've been there myself, and I'm here to help.

I believe children have an inherent ability to work toward growth and solve their problems. I strive to create a safe environment where clients can do this work, with the support of the counselor. My desire is for counseling to be a space where children can be authentically themselves and practice new behaviors and perspectives. I also utilize frequent collaboration with caregivers to introduce lasting change outside of the therapeutic environment.

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.

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."

Do you feel misunderstood or lost in a world that pretends to have it all together? I believe our thoughts, behaviors & emotions affect our ability to live & embrace our best lives. Through voluntary acceptance of our past, present & future, we can build the skills & courage needed to successfully thrive! As a parent, daughter, former teacher, & corporate professional, I understand that often the most difficult step is acknowledging the need and taking the time to reach out for help. With the understanding that it is normal for our life journey to be messy & imperfect, we can grow stronger together, move forward & flourish.
