Dr. Courtney Williams

Psychologist

Virtual • Tennessee


I’m a licensed psychologist with advanced training in trauma-informed and culturally responsive care. I earned my doctorate in Counseling Psychology and have worked across clinical, wellness, and consulting settings supporting individuals navigating burnout, identity stress, trauma, mood disorders and major life transitions.

I specialize in working with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), particularly Black women and professionals who are tired of carrying it all and ready to live with more clarity, boundaries, and ease. My work is deeply relational—I believe healing happens in connection, not isolation—and I bring both professional expertise and lived experience into the room.

Outside of therapy, I love vacationing and traveling (rest is not a reward, it’s a right), hosting gatherings at my home, spending time with loved ones, and creating soulful experiences through writing, speaking, and wellness work. Clients often describe me as grounded, warm, and direct—the kind of therapist who will validate you and help you move forward.

Areas of focus include: Burnout and stress management Life transitions and identity exploration Trauma and stuck patterns Boundary-setting and people-pleasing High-achieving professionals navigating overwhelm Clients from marginalized and intersectional identities

David Cunningham

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Tullahoma, TN


Clients should know that I believe therapy works best when it is built on trust, honesty, and collaboration. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported while we work together toward meaningful change. As a counselor and Navy veteran, I value integrity, perseverance, and service to others. I also respect the role that personal values and faith can play in someone’s life and am comfortable incorporating those perspectives into counseling when it is important to the client.
