Meet Courtney Armstrong

Courtney provides a compassionate, supportive space and the tools you need to make things right again. As an experienced counselor who devotes a lot of time and attention to each person, her goal is to pinpoint and clear any blocks that have been keeping you “stuck,” and move your life forward in a positive direction. It does not have to take years to “get over” painful or traumatic events. The possibilities of what we can do with our lives are endless, no matter what your personal history has been.

Courtney began her career working with inner-city kids in New Orleans in the 1990′s. Many of these kids had been in gangs, and had seen an incredible amount of loss and trauma. Those kids had a great impact on Courtney and broadened her understanding of the effects of violence, trauma, and grief. She also worked in hospitals and realized the toll that unresolved trauma, grief, and anxiety has on a person’s physical health.

When Courtney moved to Chattanooga in 1997, she pursued training in biofeedback, hypnosis, and developed mind-body programs in a physician’s office that offered integrative approaches to treatment. In 2007, Courtney discovered Rapid Resolution Therapy®, a revolutionary approach that often clears the negative effects of trauma and stress in as little as one to three sessions. Courtney is a Master Practitioner in Rapid Resolution Therapy®, trains other mental health professionals in the method, and her practice is one of four IRRT Certified Treatment Centers in the United States.
