My name is Courtney LaLond. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have been practicing for about 5 years now. I have 4 years of experience working with children ages 5-18, along with adults with persistent mental health disorders. I work with people from young children to seniors. I am experienced in working with people with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, addiction, and other persistent mental health disorders. I have a laid-back personality. I believe that building a connection with your therapist makes for a better working relationship. I am not afraid to ask questions that will help you to work through the issues that you are trying to solve. Growing up I was always the one my friends talked to about their issues. When I went to college, I went to be a music teacher but fell in love with psychology and sociology and quickly changed my major. I enjoy helping people through the tough times in their lives and seeing the changes that they make.
