Elinor Courson, LMFT

Elinor works with her clients to intentionally fine-tune the strengths and skills they already possess, helping them create more meaningful and positive interactions in their daily lives and relationships. She specializes in relationship issues, grief, and abuse recovery, with additional training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and eating disorder treatment. Using an integrative approach that extends beyond traditional “talk therapy,” Elinor often incorporates play, sculpting, psychoeducation, art, and humor into sessions to help clients achieve their goals. Her top priority in the therapy room is to create a space where all emotions can be expressed openly and honestly while helping clients learn to experience, manage, and communicate those emotions in ways that foster intimacy, healing, and connection.

Elinor holds a Bachelor’s degree in Family and Child Sciences from Florida State University and a Master’s degree in Human Development and Family Sciences with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy from Oklahoma State University. She provides therapy to individuals, couples, families, and children and has experience across diverse healthcare settings, including private practice, community mental health, and inpatient, residential, and partial hospitalization levels of care. Elinor is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist passionate about helping clients create sustainable change through a strengths-based approach. She offers in-person sessions in the Flower Mound and Southlake areas, serving the surrounding DFW communities; Lantana, Argyle, Highland Village, Grapevine, Keller, and Denton.
