Compliments? Nonstop — GPT was
Sequencing? LOL, no.

After 5 years of laughter, wisdom, EMDR magic, and heart-to-heart conversations, we’re sending off our amazing therapist and teammate Courtney Zemerick, with so much gratitude, pride and best wishes.

If you’ve had the privilege of working with Courtney, you know she’s equal parts therapist, cheer coach, and emotional support human. She has a way of sitting with people in their hardest moments—with empathy, honesty, and zero pressure to "just be positive."

Courtney has been a steady, compassionate presence at Apex Counseling- working remotely from Weirton, WV. Though she wasn’t in the office day-to-day , her presence was always felt.

Courtney has made a meaningful impact here- and we will miss her deeply.

We are excited to share that Courtney is opening her own private practice , Nautilus Counseling LLC in Weirton, WV. She will continue offering the same deeply intentional, heart centered care that’s made her such a gift to her clients and community.

Courtney - Thank you for five years of wisdom, kindness , and care. We’re proud of you , grateful for you, and cheering you on as you take this next brave step 💚

With Love ,
You Apex Counseling Family

Many people fail at changing their lives—not because they’re not trying, but because they’re trying to change too much, too fast, and too perfect.

At Apex Counseling, we help people use a practical tool called behavioral approximation:
👉 Start with what you can do
👉 Stack habits over time
👉 Build real, lasting change

Our Therapist Jonathan Pishner shows how small steps become sustainable transformations—both in physical health and mental well-being.

Humans love overcomplicating things. We'll easily fall into creating needlessly elaborate plans, processes, and preparations for relatively simple problems.

The problem is, we love the novelty of a new, shiny way of doing things. It always looks better than the old, boring thing that we know works.

If you want to feel more rested, before trying an new coffee blend, try sleeping more.

Do alarm reminders work for you? Don't try new memory tricks, just use the stupid reminders.

Want to learn a skill? Maybe you don't need to read a 3rd book on it, maybe you just need to apply what you've already learned.

Simple and boring works. And it usually works better than anything complicated.

What should YOU be doing right now that is simple and effective?

Propaganda I’m No Longer Falling For — Neurodivergence Edition
Being neurodivergent doesn’t mean broken. Functioning isn’t the same as thriving. And fitting in shouldn’t come at the cost of self-respect.

✨ Neurodivergence is a natural variation in how minds work—and every brain deserves understanding and support.

If you or someone you love is ready to explore therapy with someone who truly gets it, reach out to schedule with Anna Cronin, our neurodivergent specialist here at Apex Counseling.

Too many myths still circulate around the neurospicy community .Which neurodivergent myths are you done falling for?

Reddit Set Go: Relationships&S*x Edition Part 5
Reddit Asked
So... what does a s*x therapist actually do? 👀
If you pictured a dimly lit room, silk robes, and awkward eye contact — you’re not alone.
But here’s what s*x therapy really looks like (and what it absolutely doesn’t).”
🎙️ Still therapy. Still clothed. Still powerful.

Reddit Set Go : Relationships & S*x Edition
Part : 4 ⬇️
He’s struggling with ED.
His therapist never asked.
He never brought it up.
And now... nobody’s having the conversation that matters.

S*x is part of mental health — not a side topic.
When guilt, shame, and silence show up in the room, it’s our job as therapists to make sure that door isn’t locked.

Because erectile dysfunction isn’t always just physical.
It’s emotional.
It’s relational.
And sometimes... it’s avoidable — if we’d just talk about it.

So if you’re a therapist avoiding s*x talk…
And your client is too?

Ask the damn question.
