Over the past 10 years of being in the mental health field providing over 10,000 hours of therapy, what I enjoy most about my work is that it has helped those I serve to increase their awareness and ability to cope with both empowering education and tools to move confidently in all areas of their life. I often tell clients, friends, and family, "we all benefit from support and guidance."

In the heart of every challenge lies an opportunity to reshape our perspectives. With an open and empathetic mindset, I specialize in guiding my clients through life’s intricate labyrinth of difficulties to uncover the roots of these challenges and the pathways to well-being. As a licensed therapist committed to your growth, I cultivate a warm therapeutic alliance grounded in positivity where your struggles serve as catalysts for profound transformation. In our sessions, I provide you with a safe haven rooted in the values of relationship-building, acceptance, empathy, and empowerment.

I am a mental health counselor with a limited permit, working under the supervision of Dr. Sheila Chiffriller, a licensed psychologist. I provide psychotherapy to a diverse population of clients, specializing in survivors of trauma, borderline personality disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, LGBTQIA+ issues, anger, family issues, couples' issues, bipolar disorder, chronic illness, grief and bereavement. My practice is rooted in principles of affirmation, intersectional justice, harm reduction, and embodiment and holds the position that social oppressions and systemic problems operate as barriers to wellness.

I approach psychotherapy from a transformative stance that empowers the client to explore one's inner self in a nonjudgmental and safe environment. It's a collaborative process involving us working together to navigate life challenges and foster personal growth uniquely tailored to your needs. We are a culturally-centered, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive practice that utilizes clinical approaches so that we as a community can reclaim and experience transformative healing.

More than just talk therapy: Are you struggling to find deeper purpose & balance? You may feel disconnected, anxious, lonely & are seeking a sense of meaningful connection while finally healing the root of your pain. Whether you are feeling lost in how to heal unresolved trauma, or need support in transition, we will co-create authentic connection to your true self & develop a plan to reach your goals creatively. Together, our therapists will help you find freedom, feel safe in your body, and strengthen your tools for emotional balance. Treatment options: Creative Arts Therapy, Somatic Therapy, & KAP.

My diverse practice reflects and serves the needs of my neighborhood. My style of practice is interpersonal/humanistic meaning that I try to take an open-minded approach to psychotherapy. The work is an exploration of the nature of relationships and sources of anxiety leading to an understanding of the moment-to-moment experience of self and others. This understanding may lead to meaningful change and to the emergence of choices that were not previously considered. I am respectful of individual needs and differences and consider social & cultural influences. Please contact me via email: drscurtisatgmail.com.

My clients are children, adolescents, adults and parents experiencing life stressors, struggling with relationships, striving for personal growth or seeking change. My work commonly addresses symptoms such as anxiety, depression or general difficulty functioning in one or more areas. I use an eclectic and collaborative style to best serve each client. My highly individualized and integrative approach draws from a variety of techniques depending on specific therapeutic goals and needs. When working with children and adolescents, I find it is important and most effective if I collaborate closely with their parents to support the family system and promote optimal outcomes.

Kudos to you! It takes such strength to acknowledge and respond to your needs and therapy is an incredibly effective way of gaining insight to promote self growth and achieve happiness. Our behaviors and day to day interactions with the world and the people in it, as well as how we feel about it, are based on a series of different parts; our thoughts, our experiences and our life events. My aim is to help you navigate difficult events, repair unhealthy interactions and get to the root of the issue; reframing unproductive thoughts and negative experiences so it is no longer hindering and you can become a better you.

Whether seeking relief from anxiety and depression, coping with trauma, or working to develop a better sense of who we are and what we want, we all seek therapy because we desire change. And change is difficult. It involves coming to terms with the past, shedding unhelpful habits and learning to function more effectively in the present.
