Kortney Genske, MA

I believe mental health is a holistic aspect of our being. I like to approach mental health from all spheres of life: psychological, social, physical, as well as cultural and systemic. I base my practice in client-centered therapy and a trauma informed approach with interventions of CBT, DBT, ACT, and IFS. I believe my job as a therapist is to walk with you on your journey, empower you, and offer you new ways of looking at situations/experiences, after all, YOU are the expert on your life.

Most of my primary work has been with trauma, substance use, the LGBTQ+ community, depression, anxiety, and various personality disorders. I am very passionate about providing a space for all people to feel safe and seen for every part of who they are. I welcome all aspects of intersectionality and visible or hidden identities in the space with us.

I completed my Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology specializing in substance use as well as couples and family therapy. Doing a dual concentration allowed me to expand my approach with couples, families, and individuals by learning how to implement various aspects to the person or relationship I am working with. I was also a member of the Social Justice Leadership Academy (SJLA) during my time in my program. This program gave me the opportunity to help our community, learn more about other cultures and how to apply it to my practice, and further my passion for social justice and the importance of including culture in therapy.
