Courtney Corcoran
I am an empathetic, queer, neurodivergent therapist providing compassionate, affirming, culturally competent care to individuals & couples. I am an artist, animal lover, advocate for harm reduction, a survivor of sexual assault, chronically ill, neurodivergent, queer, agender & a proletarian feminist. Before deciding to become a therapist, I received a BFA in painting & video, and worked at a non-profit serving at risk communities in Baltimore as an art teacher and art therapist. In my spare time, I enjoy making & listening to music, making art, rock climbing, cooking & baking, watching movies, reading, watching anime, language learning, and spending time with my dog named Tofu and my cat named Chicken. 저는 한국어 배우고 있어요
