Cortney Surrency

Hi! I’m Cortney Surrency. I was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida. I relocated to Tallahassee to attend Florida A&M University and pursue a degree in Healthcare Administration. After college, I had intentions to move up north, but the universe had bigger plans for me! I moved back to Jacksonville to be closer to family and friends, and now I am excited to be a part of the team at Family Therapy Associates of Jacksonville.

For as long as I can remember, people would always tell me their most personal thoughts, feelings, and issues. I am honored that people trust me with their life’s most intimate details, and enjoy serving individuals, couples, and families in the Northeast Florida area. If you are looking for personal development, or want to experience more meaningful and healthy connections in your life, I would be honored to walk along side you through your journey of discovery and improvement.

Who I can help

Individuals: If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trying to find more purpose and meaning your life, or needing help balancing all of life’s demands, I can help.

Couples: Are you struggling to connect? You can learn better ways to communicate, fight fair, and feel more romance and passion again. You can learn how to give and receive love from your partner more effectively so that each of you feel valued and appreciated in the relationship. I’d love to help you get things back on track and help you experience the thriving love life you deserve.

Parents: If you’re struggling with parenting, or your children are causing problems in your romantic relationship, I’d love to help. Being a parent has its tough moments, but certain situations can add even more stress, such as dating after children, blending a step-family, or if your child suffers with behavioral or social challenges. If you’re at your wits end with parenting your child, or you’re experiencing relationship distress with your partner, you don’t have to manage it alone. I can help you reconnect to your mate, offer strategies for parenting, and help you experience more peace.

Adolescents: I help teens and pre-teens struggling with anxiety, depression, social interactions, break-ups, bullying, or adapting to changing family situations (parents’ separation, divorce, blended family, etc.).

Biography:

I attended the Florida A&M University, where I received a Bachelor’s in Healthcare Administration. I am currently pursuing my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of North Florida and will graduate in 2021. I have completed trainings in several evidenced-based individual and couples therapy theories and interventions.

In my spare time, I enjoy traveling around the world, hosting parties for my family and friends, going to the beach, and gardening.
