Courtney Valerio

Courtney Valerio

Therapist

Virtual • New York


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.

You've been carrying something heavy — maybe for years. The kind of weight that doesn't show on the outside but makes everything feel harder: getting through a workday, trusting people, feeling safe in your own body. Whether you're navigating trauma, PTSD, OCD, depression, or anxiety — or healing from experiences of sexual or physical abuse — you don't have to keep managing this alone. I work with adults across New York, including women, Black and multicultural clients, and LGBTQ+ individuals who are done shrinking and ready for something to actually shift.

If you reading this you may want to talk to someone. This room of words opens for deeper currents beneath everyday distress - anxiety, depression, longing, and the patterns that return again and again, the quiet reach toward substances that soothe what cannot yet be spoken.

Hey - I'm Mike and as you can see from my photo I like to keep things on the more casual side with my clients. I weave fun, jokes, and genuine questions about your personal life into our care plan. If you're looking for a Psychiatric provider who is all business - I'm probably not the right fit. But if you're looking to work with someone who is down to earth, and willing to go the extra mile to be your true partner and confidant on this journey, I'd love to meet you. As a lifelong New Yorker, I understand the unique pressures, pace, and complexity of life here — and I use that insight to offer care that actually fits your world.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Middletown

Finding the right therapist in Middletown, NY starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you need support for a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or trauma — or whether you're exploring therapy for the first time. Therapists hold different licenses (such as LCSW, LMHC, LMFT, or psychologist) and bring different specialties, so identifying your priorities can help you narrow your options faster.

Beyond clinical fit, logistics matter. Think about whether you prefer in-person sessions in the Middletown or broader Orange County area, or whether virtual appointments work better for your schedule. Reviewing a provider's bio before booking can give you a sense of their style and approach, and a phone consultation can help you decide if they're the right match.

Therapy in the Middletown area can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use your in-network benefits. 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 therapist who fits your needs and your budget.
