Dr. Courtney Crisp is a licensed clinical psychologist, writer, and speaker empowering individuals to respect their bodies and honor their mental health.
Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about making space for your truth and most authentic life. Together, we talk about your needs, your identity, your rhythms. Building a life that works with your brain and body, not against them.
I specialize in:
Eating disorders and disordered eating across all body sizes and gender identities
Supporting queer and trans folks in navigating identity, trauma, and systemic harm
Working with people living with bipolar disorder and/or psychosis who want more than just crisis survival
Recovery from religious trauma and high-control groups, including purity culture
Anxiety and depression that feel like they’ve taken over your inner voice
Substance use and addiction recovery, especially when tied to trauma or identity
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy
Comprehensive psychological assessments for autism and ADHD in adults and teens
I am a queer-affirming, neurodiversity-affirming therapist. I practice from a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive lens. My style of therapy is warm, collaborative, and direct. You deserve care that sees the full picture of who you are. Let’s start there.

Meet Dr. Courtney Crisp
I specialize in working with individuals with eating disorders or disordered eating that are looking to heal their relationship with food, their bodies, and movement. I am passionate about doing my part in my small corner of the world to imagine a world where people do not hate their bodies, where food is neither glorified nor demonized, and where every person no matter their size is worthy of respect, trusting their body, and equitable healthcare.
