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.

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 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.
I am a clinician with several years of experience in addiction, depression, grief, bereavement, ACOA issues.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Clifton Park, NY
Searching for therapists in Clifton Park starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist may be a good fit. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or life transitions. As you compare Clifton Park therapists, look for training, specialties, and therapy approaches that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Clifton Park is a smaller community, so local in-person options may be more limited than in larger parts of New York. Virtual therapy can give you more choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in New York. You may also want to compare appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you learn how each therapist structures sessions, communicates, and approaches care.
Therapy in Clifton Park can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and lets you schedule directly when you’re ready. This makes it easier to compare therapists in Clifton Park, review bios, and find care that fits your needs, schedule, and insurance.
