Cortney Dollens is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Missouri, and holds a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Lindenwood University.  Cortney has advanced training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), an evidenced-based therapeutic model offering a collaborative and structured way to build skills to effectively process traumatic experiences.    She has particular experience and interest in work with individual clients wrestling with substance abuse, depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, and identity (including LGBTQ+), as well as with couples on important issues affecting marriage or relationships.

Cortney is an Assistant Clinical Director (ACD) at Change, Inc., meaning it’s her job to help our Clinical Director ensure a smooth Transition & Triage process for clients who are being referred to help outside our environment (for example, in-patient substance abuse treatment) and to help clients return to our environment when they’re done, as well as to serve as a point of evaluation and decision for client movement within our environment.  Cortney also heads up our in-house Peer-to-Peer Training program, as well as provides clinical licensure supervision, meaning she helps our clinicians grow and develop through clinical training, mentorship, and direct supervision.
