Courtney Handja

Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)

Courtney (she/her) is a compassionate and approachable counsellor who encourages her clients to show up just as they are. Using a trauma-informed, narrative approach, she will work collaboratively with you to build resilience, reflect on your experiences, heal, and grow. Courtney is dedicated to fostering an environment of safety, understanding, and acceptance, and believes that creating a strong foundation of self-knowledge can equip you to make meaningful shifts towards the life you want.  

Courtney offers a space where you can feel seen and heard as you navigate life’s challenges. Her areas of focus include perinatal mental health, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, trauma, gender, and identity. As a member of the queer community, she is particularly passionate about supporting fellow LGBTQIA2S+ folks as they explore challenges, new life stages, and transitional periods.

Cancellation Policy

Group programs depend on a minimum number of participants to run effectively and are designed for the purpose of completing the program in its entirety.

Cancellations made between the period of one month to two weeks prior to the first group session date will incur a 50% cancellation fee. No refunds will be given for cancellation requests within two weeks of the first group session date. Registration is non-transferable and not available for resale. Receipts will be provided for insurance and/or income tax purposes if applicable.
