Courtney Carteret, LMSW
Therapist, Human Design Expert & Truth Seeker
HI, I’M COURTNEY CARTERET — THERAPIST, HUMAN DESIGN GUIDE, & TRUTH SEEKER.
For years, I disconnected from myself, trying to become who other people needed me to be. I questioned my intuition, abandoned my inner knowing, and handed my self-worth over to the opinions, approval, and expectations of others. I learned to silence parts of myself just to feel accepted, loved, or safe. Maybe you know that feeling too.
As a therapist and Human Design guide, I now understand that so many people — especially those with trauma, attachment wounds, emotionally unpredictable relationships, or childhood experiences that taught them to doubt themselves — lose connection to who they truly are. We become hypervigilant, disconnected from our needs, and unsure of what is actually us versus what we learned to do to survive.
Then I found an incredible therapist, discovered Human Design, and everything began to shift. Therapy and Human Design gave me language for the parts of myself I had spent years questioning and helped me separate my authentic self from conditioning, survival patterns, and outside influence. Instead of constantly seeking answers outside of myself, I finally learned how to trust myself again.
Now, I help others do the same.
My work combines trauma-informed healing, nervous system awareness, attachment work, and Human Design to help you reconnect with who you are beneath the self-doubt, people-pleasing, emotional exhaustion, and survival mode. Together, we uncover the patterns keeping you stuck, strengthen your self-trust, and help you build a life rooted in alignment, clarity, and emotional safety.
You do not need to spend years trying to “fix” yourself. You do not need another self-help book telling you who to become. You need a safe space to rediscover who you have always been underneath the conditioning.
Currently, I work with clients through 1:1 virtual therapy sessions and Human Design coaching designed to help you reconnect with your authentic self and move through life with greater confidence, trust, and empowerment.
Because once you truly know yourself, everything changes. Relationships become clearer. Decisions become easier. Boundaries become stronger. Life stops feeling like constant survival and starts feeling like your own.
The search for yourself is over. Let’s uncover the truth of who you are — together.
My Background
I hold a Master’s of Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and bring nearly a decade of experience in the mental health field. Over the past six years, I have also extensively studied Human Design and continue to deepen this work through ongoing education, personal practice, and professional growth.
As a lifelong learner with a deep curiosity about human behavior, I integrate evidence-based, trauma-informed therapy with reflective and holistic insight. My approach helps clients better understand themselves, heal longstanding patterns, and reconnect with who they authentically are so they can live with greater alignment, purpose, self-awareness, and self-trust.
