Courtnie Lopez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MT3754). She received her Master’s Degree in Counseling Education with an emphasis on Marriage and Family Therapy from University of Miami.

She was trained at the Institute for Individual and Family Counseling (IIFC), a community-based mental health clinic, where she provided counseling for individuals, couples, and families, as well as children and adolescents throughout Miami. Courtnie was later given the opportunity to co-facilitate group therapy for selected Miami high school students at risk for depression and anxiety.

After completing her master’s program, she went on to work as an Associate Therapist at a parent and child emotional wellness center, Stop Parenting Alone™ where she provided practical support and counseling for parents, as well as play and other forms of child counseling for kids and teens. She additionally helped lead child-parent social emotional groups, and conducted school observations for the children she saw therapeutically. During this time, she also provided social and emotional support for teachers and children through the United Way’s Head Start program as a mental health consultant.

Courtnie has extensive experience working with individuals, children, and couples from diverse backgrounds. Her approach to therapy is strengths-based and grounded in family systems theory. That means she believes that clients are the expert in their own lives. She also believes her client’s current situation is impacted by their relationships and those around them. Whether it’s between children and parents, a couple in conflict, or even a client’s own relationship with themselves, her training and focus is always on understanding and improving the most significant relationships in her clients’ lives.

As a couple’s therapist, Courtnie has experience dealing with an array of issues, including infidelity, lack of trust, constant fighting, difficulty communicating, feelings of disconnect and lack of intimacy, to name a few.

Her goal is to support relationships where people feel appreciated, acknowledged, loved, and understood. It is her passion to help clients move beyond stumbling blocks and articulate underlying feelings, wants, and needs. She truly believes that with support, encouragement, and the right tools, anyone can thrive!
