Courtney Deadman, LMSW

Courtney (she/they) graduated from Baylor University with an undergraduate degree majoring in Social Work & Pre-Law, and minoring in Sociology. She went on to graduate again from Baylor University, with a Master’s Degree in Social Work on the Clinical Track, specializing in Adolescent Trauma. Before becoming a therapist at Fulshear Treatment to Transition, Courtney worked in residential treatment, detention/juvenile probation, and acute behavioral health in different cities in Texas. They have experience in individual, family, and group therapy.

Core values instilled in Courtney’s practice are empowerment, safety, authenticity, and a sense of fun and play. They believe in non-judgment, multi-systems approach, and connection to the client through a sense of trust and robust rapport, built upon common goals of bettering the client’s life on the client’s terms. Through an attachment lens, Courtney believes that clients are able to build trust in themselves and their family systems through healing the root of trauma and building up confidence to manage daily life and beyond. She fosters resilience in clients, and utilizes individualized, strength-based work in several modalities (including motivational interviewing, systems-theory, social learning theory, psychodynamic model, crisis intervention, narrative therapy, and solution focused model).

Courtney is a native Texan, growing up in San Antonio, before completing schooling in Waco and moving with their partner and 2 dogs to Houston in 2018. You can catch them traveling to random cities, going to concerts, exploring bookstores, trying new coffee shops, and getting tattoos. To relax, a good camping trip usually does it for her!
