GUEST SPEAKER

Courtney Olinger, PsyD, LMFT, Owner & CEO, Respect Family Therapy & Counseling

For the past 25 years, Courtney has been working with autistic children, adolescents & adults and their family members. Her own neurodivergence and experience with neurodivergent family members has added even greater understanding of personal and interpersonal journeys.

Courtney tirelessly advocates across different systems for a more expansive awareness and understanding of the diverse needs of people, no matter their neuro-cognitive style or other identities. She has experience in psycho-therapy, behavioral, educational, vocational, medical and community settings and is always bringing her Narrative lens while attending to the social factors that contribute to the problems that people face.

Outside of her work, Courtney enjoys running on the beach, playing soccer, or exploring with her family. To learn more: colinger@respectFTC.com
