Dr. Kortney Clinton
(she/her)
Hi, I’m Dr. Kortney Clinton, a therapist who specializes in supporting mothers through the many stages and challenges of motherhood. I created Lavender Nest as a space designed with moms in mind—whether you’re adjusting to motherhood, feeling overwhelmed, working through childhood experiences, navigating parenting challenges, or simply needing support from someone who understands. With over 10 years of experience working with children and families, I believe that when mothers are supported, families can thrive.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Your first session is a space to slow down and focus on you. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, the challenges you’re experiencing, and what you hope to gain from our work together. My goal is for you to feel heard, supported, and comfortable as we begin creating a plan that fits your needs and goals.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My approach focuses on supporting the whole experience of motherhood—not just symptoms. I understand that many challenges mothers face can be connected to stress, relationships, childhood experiences, parenting demands, and life transitions. I create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we work together to build practical tools, strengthen emotional well-being, and help you feel more confident and supported in yourself and your role as a mother. I also offer both individual therapy and opportunities for connection through mom groups because healing often happens in community.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I’m best positioned to support mothers who are feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or trying to navigate the many responsibilities that come with motherhood. Whether you are a new mom adjusting to life changes or a seasoned mom balancing work, parenting, relationships, and personal needs, therapy can provide a space that focuses on you. I work with mothers experiencing stress, anxiety, feelings of burnout, difficulty managing emotions, parenting challenges, and life transitions. I also support women who are working through childhood experiences or family patterns that may still affect how they view themselves, connect with others, or parent their own children. Sometimes motherhood can bring up unresolved emotions, self-doubt, or pressure to “hold everything together,” and therapy can help make sense of those experiences. I work best with clients who are looking for support, open to self-reflection, and interested in creating meaningful changes in their lives. You do not have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Some moms come to therapy with a clear goal, while others simply know that something feels heavy and they want a safe space to process it. My goal is to help mothers feel supported, understood, and equipped with practical tools they can use outside of sessions. I believe that when mothers are cared for, the benefits extend beyond the individual and into families and communities. Whether your goal is healing, building healthier patterns, improving parenting confidence, or simply having space for yourself, Lavender Nest was created with mothers in mind.

My treatment methods
Group Therapy
Healing does not have to happen alone. Group therapy creates a supportive space where individuals can connect, share experiences, and learn from one another. I value the power of community and believe there is strength in realizing that others may understand parts of your journey.
Psychoeducation
I believe understanding what you’re experiencing is an important part of healing. Psychoeducation helps you learn about stress, anxiety, trauma, emotions, motherhood, and mental health in ways that make sense and feel practical. My goal is to help you better understand yourself while giving you tools you can use in everyday life.
Narrative
Our experiences and life stories can shape how we see ourselves. Narrative therapy helps us explore the stories you’ve carried and identify patterns that may no longer serve you. Together, we work to create space for new perspectives that support healing, growth, and a stronger sense of self.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy focuses on strengths and practical steps toward change. Rather than only focusing on problems, we work together to identify what is already working, build on your strengths, and create realistic goals that support progress in your daily life.

I had my first session with Dr. Kortney today, and it honestly exceeded my expectations. From the moment we started, I felt comfortable, heard, and understood. It’s amazing how much clarity and insight I gained in just one session. I’m truly looking forward to continuing this journey and putting the tools and skills we discussed into practice. Grateful to have found her highly recommend!

I was searching through all of the providers selected for me from my filtering and for whatever reason (at that time) I kept coming back to Dr. Kortney. I came back to her 4 times. Scheduled my first session and I don’t regret it one bit! I’m beyond happy I chose her. She is warm, she is welcoming, she is direct, she is comforting, she has awesome ideas and makes me connect dots I never even knew would connect. After each session I feel relieved, I feel empowered and ready for what I need to do.
