About
Hello and welcome! I’m so glad you’ve taken this step. My name is Courtney Leone, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker living in New York City. I specialize in helping people navigate life transitions, self-esteem challenges, relationships, and anxiety, with a particular focus on supporting autistic and neurodivergent clients. What drives me most as a provider is creating a space where you feel safe, accepted, and truly understood. Therapy with me is about partnership — walking alongside you, honoring your experiences, and celebrating your growth as we work together toward the life you want.
I chose this path because I have always been deeply inspired by the resilience, honesty, and unique perspectives of neurodivergent individuals. I believe our world is richer because of neurodiversity, and my work is grounded in respecting and amplifying that. I know that navigating systems and relationships can feel exhausting, and I want you to have a space where you don’t have to mask, over-explain, or feel judged. My goal is to help you feel seen for who you are, supported in your challenges, and empowered in your strengths.
I take an affirming, strengths-based approach in everything we do together. I believe you already hold incredible abilities, insights, and resilience — sometimes it’s just about having someone help you recognize and build on them. In our sessions, I listen closely, validate your experiences, and reflect back your strengths so they feel more visible and accessible to you. I center compassion, authenticity, and collaboration in my work, creating a space where you can show up fully as yourself. My hope is that therapy with me feels like both relief and growth — a safe, affirming place to be exactly who you are while moving toward the goals that matter most to you.
