About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Courtney Rennicke, Ph.D. is a licensed U.S. clinical psychologist with more than 25 years of experience supporting individuals, families, and professionals in their healing journeys. A cornerstone of her career has been her work as an attachment-focused family therapist and certified Trainer in Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP), where she has trained mental health professionals around the world to support vulnerable children and their families with compassion and deep reverence for people’s inherent resiliency.
In addition to her family therapy expertise, Courtney is a Level III trained Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapist (AEDP) and an active member of AEDP’s psychedelic integration supervision group. She brings a deeply relational, body-based, and trauma-informed approach to her facilitation and coaching, helping clients access new possibilities for transformance and connection.
Courtney has witnessed—both in her own journeys and in her work with clients—the profound capacity of psychedelics to access experiences that are often unspoken, fragmented, or disembodied, and to bring a sense of coherence and meaning that can be deeply transformative. Her interest in the human need for safety and belonging also extends into the collective realm, where she consults with organizations and coaches executives on fostering robust, relational, and productive teams.
Originally from New York City and now based in Athens, Greece, Courtney finds joy swimming in the Aegean Sea and sharing playful conversations about sports with her nephews, reminders of the simple, grounding connections to nature and people that make life spectacular.
