DetailsAbout Courtney
I'm Courtney, a Certified Peer Support Specialist, Registered Behavior Technician, and someone who believes that our experiences can become a source of connection, understanding, and hope for others. My journey hasn't been a straight line. I'm adopted and have lived experience with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), and I've experienced my own challenges with mental health, relationships, identity, and finding my place in the world. I've learned that recovery isn't about having everything figured out or being perfect. It's about learning, growing, discovering your strengths, and finding ways to move forward, even when life gets messy. My passion for peer support comes from knowing how meaningful it can be to have someone who genuinely listens without judgment, understands that everyone's journey is different, and reminds you that you're not alone. I've worked in behavioral health and peer support settings, facilitated virtual support groups, and created welcoming spaces where people can connect, share experiences, laugh, learn, and feel accepted. My approach is person-centered, compassionate, authentic, and down-to-earth. I don't believe in telling people how to live their lives or pretending to have all the answers. I believe in meeting people where they are, recognizing their strengths, celebrating the little victories, and supporting them as they discover what recovery means to them. I want people to leave a conversation feeling heard, valued, and a little less alone. My philosophy: Progress doesn't have to be perfect, and you don't have to have it all figured out to move forward.*
My Recovery Story
My recovery journey has been a transformative process, guided by the support of therapy, medication, and the right tools to manage my emotions. Through this, I’ve learned how to navigate life’s challenges with more resilience and self-compassion. The support I received was invaluable, showing me that healing is possible even when it feels out of reach. Now, I’m in a place where I can offer that same hope and understanding to others, helping them find their path to a better quality of life.
My Motivation To Help
What motivates me to be a Peer Supporter is the understanding that I’ve been in dark places where hope felt out of reach. After facing my own struggles with suicidal thoughts, I found support that helped me reclaim my life, and now I want to offer that same support to others. I know how powerful it can be to have someone who truly listens, understands, and believes in your ability to heal. My goal is to be that compassionate guide for those who feel lost, offering hope and tools to move forward.

"Courtney is a fantastic host. She adds so much joy and laughter to my day. She takes the time for those of us technologically challenged to walk us through how to play bingo without a printer - split screen etc. Her kindness, understanding , knowledge, and experience makes her draw people back. Just look at her smile"
