Hello! My name is Courtney Daniel. I am a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I graduated from Wilkes University with my Master's of Science in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing. I also hold a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing and a Bachelor's of Science in Psychology.
I believe that healing looks different for everyone, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. I believe in meeting you exactly where you are. I take a collaborative approach, which means we work through things together. Medication can be a helpful tool when it’s needed, but it’s not the only piece of the process. We’ll also focus on building and strengthening coping skills so you feel more confident day to day.
Above all, my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and accepted without judgment. Thank you for trusting me with your care.
I provide telehealth psychiatric services to people living in Arizona. I work with children ages 6 and up, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in treating mood disorders including depression, anxiety and bipolar, as well as ADHD, OCD, schizophrenia, PTSD, postpartum depression, and more.
Reaching out for therapy can take courage, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) with nearly a decade of clinical experience in inpatient behavioral health. I focus on depression and bipolar mood concerns, anxiety, ADHD, and life stressors.
I'm a gentle and insightful therapist with an approach that is effective, impacting, and can help you bring about change and transformation in your life and relationships
I have found my own personal healing to be intimately connected to nature, and it is here that I believe that we can all begin to rediscover our intrinsic humanity and let go of those things that distract us from our higher selves. In my spare time, I work as an outdoor educator and manage my own private practice and guide Outdoor Retreats
I believe it is helpful and important to translate what is discussed in session and in telehealth meetings into lived experience and real change.

I specialize in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, a practical and modern approach that helps you
move forward instead of getting stuck in the past. If you’ve tried therapy before and felt it missed
the mark, or if you’re hesitant to begin, my style is supportive, goal-oriented, and centered
around real progress. Together, we’ll focus on what’s already working, build on your strengths,
and create meaningful steps toward lasting change.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right addiction counselor for you
Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Aurora
Finding addiction therapists in Aurora starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, compulsive behaviors, cravings, relapse prevention, and co-occurring concerns like anxiety or depression. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to work on. Some therapists use approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction-informed care. Some people may also include a prescriber as part of their care team.
Aurora offers a range of therapy options, with access to in-person offices and virtual appointments across the area. Virtual care can also expand your search if you want a therapist with specific addiction experience or a schedule that fits your week. Recovery can move in more than one direction, so it helps to look for a therapist whose bio reflects a nonjudgmental style and experience with harm reduction, relapse prevention, or substance use concerns. You can also compare appointment availability, whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation, and how they describe session structure before booking.
Addiction therapy in Aurora can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and plan for care. Headway helps you find therapists who are accepting new patients and match your preferences. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to check coverage and estimated costs for the therapists available in Aurora. You can enter your insurance details to see your estimated session cost before you book, then review bios and book directly when you’re ready.
