We are thrilled to be starting off the new year with amazing news! Please join us in welcoming Courtney Franklin to the Loving Piranha family! 💜🐟🩵

Courtney is a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate in SC and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate for NC. She received a Master's Degree in Counseling and Development, with a concentration in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Winthrop University.
She has experience working with teenagers, adults, and seniors navigating seasons of transition, identity formation, relationship struggles, and relational growth. She brings a deep passion for multicultural counseling and advocacy, especially for the BIPOC communities, and strives to create a therapeutic space that is affirming, culturally responsive, and grounded in respect for each client's lived experiences. Her approach is eclectic and integrative honoring the whole person - emotionally, physically, spiritually, and relationally - drawing from evidenced based practices including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, CBT, DBT, and Strengths based approaches. Courtney welcomes conversations around spirituality and meaning making as an important part of healing, when relevant to the client.

According to many psychological studies, “microdosing joy describes intentionally engaging in small, frequent activities or moments that boost mood and promote emotional well-being. This approach challenges the conventional pursuit of rare, intense happiness by valuing consistency and subtlety in cultivating positive emotions. The concept suggests that just as tiny doses of a medicine can have cumulative benefits, small daily doses of joy can strengthen emotional resilience over time.”
