Too often we get caught up in worrying about things we cannot control, yet don't know where to start in making a change in the right direction. Maybe you are currently struggling in your relationships, navigating blended family dynamics, trying to cope with social anxiety or there are just things you experienced growing up and you just can't seem to "let it go." As your therapist, I will take the time to get to know and understand your experiences, areas of stuckness, and overwhelm, as we work together to create meaningful changes.
The clients who connect with me the most are adults and young adults experiencing symptoms of anxiety, unresolved trauma, or poor self-esteem. I draw from a variety of therapy models, primarily using mindfulness-based approaches, emotionally focused therapy (EFT), and existential therapy.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, ADHD, burnout, parenting stress, relationship challenges, or major life transitions begin affecting how you function day-to-day. I work with adults navigating emotional overwhelm, self-esteem struggles, caregiving stress, neurodiversity, and the pressures of modern life. I also work well with analytical and high-achieving individuals, including those in engineering and problem-solving professions. I especially enjoy supporting individuals exploring late-diagnosed ADHD, including individuals learning how neurodiversity has shaped their relationships, work, identity, and emotional well-being.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based. I use CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and person-centered approaches to help clients better understand themselves while building practical tools for emotional regulation, stress management, boundaries, communication, and self-compassion.
I also support parents navigating postpartum changes, shifting identities, burnout, and the emotional demands of caregiving. Many of my clients are feeling emotionally exhausted by the pace and uncertainty of modern life and are looking for ways to feel more grounded, connected, and sustainable. Reach out to see if we may be a good fit!

You don’t have to face things alone. Whether you're exploring your identity, coping with overwhelm, or working toward better balance in your life, I’m here to support you. I'm a licensed therapist in Florida and Minnesota, offering in-person sessions in Mount Dora, FL and telehealth across both states. I work with individuals, couples, and families, helping clients build on their strengths to navigate challenges with more clarity, confidence, and resilience.
I specialize in supporting children (ages 9+), teens, and adults as they manage stress, ADHD, life transitions, anxiety, and relationship issues. My clinical focus includes mindfulness, emotional regulation, communication, conflict resolution, self-awareness, and self-esteem.
My approach is collaborative, grounded, and tailored to each client. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), holistic practices, and other evidence-based tools to support your unique goals. I believe that every experience carries meaning—and that healing starts with understanding, self-connection, and practical skill-building.

There’s a lot in life we can’t control, but your power to make change is greater than you think. I offer a welcoming space to discuss life’s big questions or steps toward your goals. If you’re boxed in by work pressures, family conflicts, relationship issues, or harmful habits, let’s build a plan for change. If anger or stress are causing actions that don’t match your values, let’s draft a map for navigating hard moments.
My approach is flexible and nonjudgmental. I integrate tools from dialectical behavior therapy to help clients improve communication and build comfort with tough emotions. I take a strengths-based approach to highlight the skills and resilience you already have, and take an existential view with clients exploring their purpose in the world.

I am passionate about helping others thrive, not just survive, on their journey. I have a special interest in family of origin issues, pre-marriage counseling, divorce, remarriage, blended families, and codependency issues. I also specialize in grief counseling, life transitions, career development, and spiritual concerns.
I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I work with individual adults using a systemic, strengths-based, positive, solution-focused, integrative approach. For clients who are interested, I also provide Prepare/Enrich Relationship and CliftonStrengths assessments.

Many folks seek therapy due to a disconnection: from themselves, others, or community. During therapy, I support your identification of relationship patterns, offer feedback on your relationship style, and hold space for you to practice different relational approaches. I can also incorporate interventions that are cognitive (focus on thoughts), behavioral (action-based), or emotional (name, express, and be with feelings), depending on your personal needs.
Therapy is about change, and change can be scary. With humor, compassion, understanding, and belief in your capacity, I can help you explore what types of change might help you most.

My name is Courtney Mensink and I have a license in both mental health and addiction counseling. I have worked in the field of addiction counseling since 2019 and have been licensed in mental health counseling since 2023. I specialize in working with individuals that are experiencing addiction, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, co-dependency, and self-esteem issues. I am passionate about helping people learn better coping skills, emotion regulation, and self-awareness and acceptance.
In my practice, I use evidence-based approaches like CBT and DBT. With a client-centered, compassionate approach, I work to empower clients to develop coping skills, challenge negative thoughts, and build emotional resilience, guiding them toward lasting recovery and improved well-being.
I understand how overwhelming it can feel to face addiction, anxiety, or depression. You don’t have to go through this alone. Together, we can explore your struggles, build coping skills, and work towards a healthier, more balanced life. If you're ready to take the first step toward healing and change, I’m here to support you on your journey.

I specialize in supporting individuals through life transitions, relationship difficulties, and periods of spiritual questioning.

Together, we’ll uncover your strengths, nurture healthier relationships, and foster lasting growth.

I focus on learning who a person is uniquely, and I take an active role in treatment, offering genuine warmth and support as well as practical feedback. I draw from various theoretical approaches but commonly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindful self-compassion, Exposure Response Prevention, and Internal Family Systems. As a licensed clinical social worker I have had the pleasure of working in cities across the United States with a wide range of individuals from a variety of backgrounds.
I work with individuals 18 and older, and my areas of special interest include anxiety, OCD, mindfulness, self-compassion, and climate-conscious therapy (support for anxiety/distress about our changing ecosystem).
