Courtney Geter

LMFT-S, CST-S

Founder and Clinical Director

Courtney Geter, LMFT-S, CST-S is many things including a small business owner, psychotherapist, author, public speaker, mentor, and animal lover.

In 2019, Courtney founded Atlanta Therapeutic Collective with the mission to provide quality mental health services and sex therapy to the community while also providing emerging professionals a place to advance their skills. Prior, Courtney was a solopreneur in private practice.

 

 

 

Courtney has been practicing for 18 years including her training during internship. She mostly works with clients experiencing:

  • Painful sex

  • Erectile dysfunction

  • Sexual trauma

  • Sexually Compulsive or Problematic Sexual Behaviors

  • Infidelity

  • High conflict and relationship distress

  • Partners considering divorce or separation.

 

Courtney also supports ethical non-monogamous and kink relationships including knowledge of D/s dynamics and various types of non-monogamy relationship structures. Courtney can support working with two or more partners if needed.

Many clients describe Courtney's approach as "direct and to the point with little sugar coating." For instance, if Courtney identifies a potential source of the presenting concern, she will highlight this in the session and engage in collaborative discussion to further explore it's relevance to overall concern and underlying issues. Her approach also doesn't require a lot of historical information gathering at the start of session and the first few sessions are focused on the presenting concerns, creating goals, and implementing skills and tools for change. 

 

Courtney works with clients from Attachment Theory, Solution Focused, Systemic Family Therapy as well as EMDR and Internal Family Systems with trauma. As a trained systemic marriage and family therapist, Courtney sees relationships from a systemic perspective and help clients recognize helpful and unhelpful patterns in their interactions or relationships in order to create change to develop more helpful patterns to improve relationship satisfaction. As a trauma therapist, Courtney will discuss the role of the nervous system including regulation and dysregulation and provide ways for clients to being practicing regulation skills at home.

During the COVID 19 pandemic, Courtney authored a book, The Introvert's Guide to Dating: How to Leverage Your Unique Strengths to Connect and Find Love which, at the time, was one of the only books providing tips to dating introverts. Courtney has experience working with couples where one partner identifies as neurodiverse and the other as neurotypical and helping them find ways to better communicate that supports each persons' communication needs.

 

Courtney has also provided speaking engagements and workshops to many organizations including Mercer University, Agnes Scott University, Froli Con, ConNooga, Atlanta Poly, The Georgia Association of Marriage and Family Therapists, Sex ED Conference, and the Licensed Professional Counselor’s Associate of Georgia. Courtney has also taught at Adler University in the Department of Couple and Family Therapy and guest lectured with Widener University.

 In addition to seeing private clients, Courtney also provides onsite and offsite supervision and directs the work of the associates and interns.

​Courtney also founded and created (the now defunct) Papaya Parties, which was an adult sex ed workshops, and she is the creator and producer of the Let's Talk Sex podcast providing fun yet informative information on sexuality.
