About Courtney Dowdell
LCAT, RDT/BCT, CEDCAT
I am a passionate and dedicated therapist who obtained my graduate degree from New York University. I am a licensed creative arts therapist in New York State and a registered drama therapist with over 10 years of clinical experience.
I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image issues. I am a Certified Eating Disorders Therapist (CEDCAT) and affiliated with BALANCE eating disorder treatment center in Manhattan. I have extensive experience collaborating with other treatment professionals to set up an individualized treatment plan to support recovery. I have led numerous educational workshops on eating disorders and body image. I also have extensive experience treating those struggling with anxiety, depression, life and career transitions, and trauma.
I use a relational and psychodynamic approach within a creative frame to help clients set realistic goals and work toward behavioral change. I take an active role in treatment by engaging wholeheartedly, meeting you where you are at, and offering a steady presence as you grow.
