Courtney M Bertelle, Therapy Clinician

Courtney M. Bertelle is a dedicated therapist with LifeStance Health, providing compassionate and evidence-based care to individuals, couples, and families across New Jersey. She helps clients navigate life’s challenges with warmth, empathy, and practical strategies for growth. Courtney works with teens, adults, and seniors, creating a supportive environment where clients can explore their emotions, strengthen relationships, and develop effective tools to improve their mental health and overall well-being. Courtney specializes in treating anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns, helping clients find stability and resilience through life’s transitions. She also supports those facing relationship challenges, grief, and women’s issues, tailoring her approach to each client’s unique circumstances. Drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques, Courtney promotes insight, balance, and personal empowerment, guiding clients toward meaningful change and emotional healing. She is especially passionate about working with the LGBTQ+ community, individuals navigating identity exploration, and those managing the impact of substance use and co-occurring conditions. Courtney provides an affirming, inclusive space that honors each person’s story and helps them cultivate self-acceptance and authenticity. Her integrative approach also extends to supporting clients through medical and health-related stress, blending empathy with evidence-based interventions to enhance both mental and physical well-being. Outside of her clinical work, Courtney enjoys creative writing, watching movies with her family, traveling, and learning to cook on the grill—though she admits she’s still more of an observer. She treasures time spent with her husband and their beloved pets, finding inspiration and balance through connection and creativity.
