I’m a clinical social worker with many years of experience working with people of all ages in a variety of settings. I hold particular expertise supporting those impacted by trauma, navigating significant life transitions, experiencing grief or loss, and those struggling with mood disorders.
I specialize in working with adolescents and their families. In my experience as a parent, a mental health counselor and a retired school counselor, I've come to love and appreciate the uniqueness of this age. There are specific challenges and demands that can make this a challenging and difficult time for you, so let's find ways to navigate them together.
Hello, and thank you for taking the time to learn about my practice. My name is Courtney, and I have been practicing psychotherapy for over 20 years. I view the therapy relationship as a collaboration, with my primary role as a guide in creating a safe container for healing, achieving balance & empowerment, and developing insight & conscious awareness for a more positive and fulfilling life. My style is that of curiosity, non-judgment, and compassion for your experience, while together we cocreate a therapeutic path forward to heal old wounds and evolve into new healthy behaviors and coping abilities.
I am a trauma-informed psychotherapist with extensive training in Trauma-Focused therapy, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Creative Arts Therapy, Somatic Therapies, and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). I believe understanding the brain as it relates to both trauma and meditation is an empowering first step on the healing journey.
I follow a person-centered, eclectic and integrative approach to treatment, grounded in Energy Psychology, evidence-based treatments, trauma-focused interventions, meditation, spirituality and creative wellness. I am passionate about this work, and I welcome the opportunity to connect with you to determine if we would be a good fit.


Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Brooklyn starts with knowing what kind of support you're looking for. Affirming providers have training and experience working with LGBTQIA+ individuals — they understand concerns like coming out, identity exploration, discrimination, relationship dynamics, and the ways these intersect with anxiety, depression, and trauma. You can look for providers who list LGBTQIA+ care as a specialty and read their bios to learn about their approach before reaching out.
Brooklyn is home to a large and diverse community of mental health providers, but narrowing your search can still feel like a lot. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider who shares your identity or background, offers both in-person and virtual sessions, or specializes in a specific area like couples therapy or medication management. A free phone consultation can help you gauge whether a provider feels like the right match before you commit to a full session.
Therapy in New York City can be expensive, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who is both affirming and affordable.
