LMHC, 4 years of experience
’m Courtney Boggs, MS, LPC, founder of Onion Counseling. I specialize in trauma-focused therapy for adults, including survivors of sexual abuse, neurodivergent individuals, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. EMDRIA-trained in EMDR therapy, I use strength-based, psychodynamic approaches tailored to each client’s unique needs. My practice provides a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients can explore past trauma, foster self-awareness, and build resilience. I’m passionate about guiding individuals toward healing and growth, helping them uncover their inner strength, break free from limiting patterns, and create more empowered, fulfilling lives.
In the first session, clients can expect a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where we begin building a trusting therapeutic relationship. We’ll explore your reasons for seeking counseling, discuss your goals, and review relevant background information to gain a deeper understanding of your experiences. I’ll also explain my therapeutic approach, answer any questions, and ensure you feel comfortable with the process. This session is about creating a collaborative foundation, where together we can begin to peel back the layers of your story and work toward meaningful healing and growth at your own pace.
I believe that healing begins when clients feel truly seen and understood. By creating a compassionate and safe space, I help individuals explore their unique journeys with empathy and support. I combine evidence-based techniques, such as EMDR therapy, with a strength-based, personalized approach, allowing me to tailor our work together to your specific needs and goals. With a foundation in trauma-focused and psychodynamic therapy, I guide clients through complex emotional experiences, helping them develop resilience and clarity. My commitment to inclusivity ensures that all clients feel empowered, regardless of their background or lived experiences.
I work with adults navigating the effects of trauma in all its forms—from profound, life-altering experiences to the cumulative impact of chronic stress and unresolved emotional wounds. My clients often include survivors of sexual abuse, individuals living with PTSD, and those feeling stuck in patterns of distress or disconnection. I also specialize in supporting neurodivergent individuals and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Using a compassionate, strength-based approach, I help clients build resilience, foster self-awareness, and move toward healing and empowerment in alignment with their unique goals and values.
I’m EMDR-trained through EMDRIA and use this method in my practice to help clients process trauma and emotional distress. EMDR helps individuals reprocess distressing memories through bilateral stimulation, promoting healing and emotional relief. I tailor the approach to each client’s needs, especially for those struggling with PTSD or unresolved trauma.
