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.
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.
I am a clinician with several years of experience in addiction, depression, grief, bereavement, ACOA issues. My approach to treatment is direct but gentle encouragement to help a client deal with their feelings and make changes that are beneficial for them. My dynamic is serious but also humorous. I truly believe that in some cases laughter is the best medicine. I accept clients ages 25+.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in East Syracuse, NY
Searching for therapists in East Syracuse starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and experience that fit your needs. Some profiles may mention approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, which can help you understand how a therapist may structure sessions.
East Syracuse is a smaller market, so local in-person openings may be more limited than in nearby Syracuse. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you see a therapist licensed in New York. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you compare communication style, session focus, and what to expect in the first appointment.
Therapy in East Syracuse can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, take your insurance, and offer in-person or virtual appointments. You can review bios, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
