Kortney Bruce

I am a behavioral health professional currently providing both individual and group sessions with adolescents and families in trauma-informed settings. My work focuses on supporting emotional regulation, engagement, and stability while maintaining structure, safety, and professionalism within both one-on-one and group environments.

I have experience facilitating and supporting group sessions, managing group dynamics, and utilizing de-escalation and grounding techniques to promote emotional safety. I collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams and licensed clinicians and complete timely, accurate documentation to support continuity of care.

I bring a calm, empathetic presence, strong organizational skills, and comfort with virtual service delivery. I am seeking a remote, part-time role where I can continue supporting structured behavioral health programming through both individual and group-based interventions.
