While obtaining my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California, I had the opportunity to work with youth from diverse backgrounds and absolutely loved it!

Courtney Poulos, MSW, (she, her)

Adult Therapist- Caregiver Support Track

I believe that all behaviors, emotions, thoughts, even the disliked and despised ones, exist for a reason. Usually, they developed as a way to protect each individual from further harm or perceived danger. I work with my clients to establish safety, foster self-compassion, and heal these parts after understanding them. Here you will find a non-judgmental space to find inner harmony.

Hello! My name is DJ and I have been working professionally as a mental health counselor for the last 13 years.  I am passionate about helping young people learn more about themselves and working collaboratively towards their personal goals.  My own interest in mental health and psychology first arose from my experiences as a client when I was a teen, so I am particularly sensitive to the needs and challenges of adolescents struggling with mental health concerns. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about me!
