Therapist

Virtual • New York


My name is Sara and I graduated from Adelphi in 2017 with my MSW. Shortly after I obtained my license and began to work in Queens in a hospital doing inpatient psychiatric social work. I have worked with all populations on each of our specialty units, including adolescents, young and older adults, and aging. I spent most of my time working with individuals aged 18-62 presenting with a multitude of acute crises. I range from working with individuals experience first-break symptoms, all through chronic and treatment resistant symptoms. I have also held supervisory and administrative roles, in which I provided direct supervision and guidance for other healthcare professionals, primarily social workers. I also specialize in family dynamics and counseling, as well as mediation.

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.
