Founder & Clinical Director
Hi, I'm Courtney.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
I'm a trauma specialist with more than a decade of experience in some of the hardest settings in mental health, from jail forensic programs and juvenile justice to child welfare and critical incident response with first responder agencies across Florida. I founded Magnolia Therapy Center in Live Oak in 2018 so that people in North Florida could get specialized trauma care without driving hours to find it.
I'm the daughter of a combat veteran and come from a long line of people who serve. When someone in uniform sits across from me, I understand the culture, the silence, and the reasons they've waited this long.
Who We Help
You take care of everyone.
Who's taking care of you?
The people everyone leans on are often the last ones to ask for help. We built this practice around them and the families who stand beside them. When you walk through our door, you don't have to explain yourself.
"Getting help isn't a sign you can't handle the job. It's proof you're serious about keeping it, and yourself, intact."
The stigma around mental health is real, especially in cultures where asking for help can feel like weakness. No judgment and no explaining yourself, just honest, effective care from clinicians who understand your world.
First Responders, Veterans & Their Families
You've seen things most people can't imagine and were expected to just move on. Courtney works with first responder agencies across Florida, in the office and in the field through ride-alongs and station visits, so you never have to translate your world. Veterans, military families, and healthcare workers carrying moral injury will find the same understanding here.

Teens, Parents & Educators
Alyssa spent years as a middle school teacher before becoming a therapist, so she understands teens and the adults who care for them from the inside out. She helps teens ages 11 to 18 with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and school stress, and she gives educators a place to recover from burnout. After-school appointments are available.

Adults, Couples & Families
Whether you're a high-achieving professional running on empty, a couple stuck in the same conflict, or a family under strain, we help you rebuild on steadier ground. For clients who want their Christian faith to be part of the conversation, faith-integrated counseling is available.
Couples & family therapy →Our Clinical Team
Three clinicians. One practice built on purpose.
We're a small, intentional team, and that's by design. Every client at Magnolia gets a clinician who is genuinely invested in their progress.

Whatever you're carrying,
we've helped people carry it too
Most people who find us have been struggling longer than they should have had to. If something on this list sounds familiar, that isn't a coincidence, and it isn't too late.
Trauma, PTSD & Moral Injury
The past doesn't have to run the present. Using EMDR and trauma-focused care, we help you process what happened and reclaim how you feel, at a pace that's right for you.
Anxiety & Panic
If your mind won't quiet down, if you're replaying conversations, bracing for disasters that haven't happened, or waking up already exhausted, we can help you find real relief.
Depression & Burnout
When getting through the day feels like a full-time job, that isn't weakness. It responds to treatment, and we'll help you find your way back to yourself.
Grief & Loss
Grief doesn't follow a timeline, and it doesn't need to be minimized or rushed. We offer a steady, honest space to process loss and find solid ground again.
Cancer Survivorship
During treatment, after treatment, and everything in between. Our founder is a cancer survivor, so this support comes from lived experience, not a textbook.
Women's Health & Life Transitions
From pregnancy and postpartum to perimenopause, menopause, identity, and relationships, we provide a space where women's experiences are taken seriously and treated with real clinical depth.
How We Work
Therapy that meets you where you are
No two clients are alike. We offer several ways to access care so that schedule and distance are never the reason you go without support.
In-Person Therapy
A private, comfortable office in downtown Live Oak where you can show up, close the door, and do the work. We welcome clients from across North Florida and the Big Bend region.

Telehealth Sessions
Secure, HIPAA-compliant video sessions for clients anywhere in Florida and Georgia. Research shows telehealth can be as effective as in-person therapy for many people, and it's much easier to fit into a busy schedule.

Couples & Family Therapy
Relationships break down under stress, trauma, and poor communication, not because the people in them are broken. We help couples and families rebuild on a stronger foundation, with Christian counseling available for those who want it.

Saturday EMDR Intensives
Extended, concentrated EMDR sessions in a single day for clients who want to make meaningful progress in less time. Email Courtney directly to talk about whether an intensive is right for you.
Ask about intensives →What to Expect
Honest, warm, and built around real progress
We'll tell you what we notice.
We won't just nod along. You'll get honest observations about patterns you may not have recognized yet, offered with care, so you always have something real to reflect on.
You'll have work between sessions.
Therapy doesn't stop when you leave the room. Expect practical exercises and reflection between sessions that keep you moving forward.
We go to the root, not just the symptoms.
We'll help you connect how past experiences shape the patterns showing up in your relationships, your work, and your daily life.
First time in therapy? You're in good hands.
Many of our clients have never been to therapy before. Your first session is about getting comfortable, being heard, and leaving with a clear sense of where to start.
You've Read This Far
That means part of you
is ready to start.
The hardest part is usually making the first move. You don't have to have the right words or know exactly what you need. Just reach out, and we'll take it from there.
