Your life looks great on paper and on the surface you are thriving…and yet, underneath it all, there is a sense of dread, life feels dull, and it feels like you’re stuck on autopilot. Do you find yourself thinking over and over again about the same events or memories from your life? Do you find yourself withdrawing from your closest relationships? Are you noticing that you have a short fuse? Many times the unresolved hurt in our past re-emerges in our present. Addressing these recurring patterns and their lingering effects is possible.

I specialize in working with adults and adolescents working through trauma, shame, relationship/family difficulties, and mood disorders. I have experience working with a broad range of ages, ethnicities, socio-economic backgrounds, genders, sexualities, and family compositions. People come to therapy with a broad range of strengths and difficulties, but the thing they all have in common is that they want something to change. Therapy is a space for you to explore what you want those changes to be and begin the process of creating them for yourself, with the therapist as a supportive collaborator.

Lisa Wilkinson is a LMHC with Footprints which was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. We began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

I have experience working with a myriad of issues, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationships, addiction, and life changes/ transitions.
Your decision to enter therapy is an act of self-compassion, which demands that I meet you with the utmost respect and commitment to your growth and self-actualization. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who are trying to find a better way of approaching life's challenges, gaining insight into patterns and behaviors, developing healthy coping strategies, and breaking down barriers to creating a more meaningful and fulfilling life. I approach therapy from humanistic, existential, and client centered perspectives using an integration of music, talk therapies, breath & body awareness, and sound meditations.

As a therapist I work with adults, focusing on trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and interpersonal issues. However, treatment will always be tailored to your specific needs as I don’t believe in therapy as a one-size-fits-all model. I pride myself on being a compassionate, active listener, offering a space where you can safely explore your thoughts and feelings from a nonjudgmental and unbiased perspective. If you’re experiencing ruminating thoughts or you feel as though you are caught in a repetitive cycle, it’s a privilege for me to be able to help you work through those moments in life where you may be feeling stuck.

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.

I also work with couples and families going through transitions.
Hello and welcome to my page! I believe that all individuals are capable of healing and growth with the help of an understanding, compassionate, and supportive therapist. Therapy is a vulnerable process and I strive to provide an environment where my client feels safe. I also believe that insight alone is not enough for change to occur and therefore I bring experiential work into the room, often engaging the body and somatic experience in our work. My approach to therapy integrates Attachment Theory, Psychodynamic Theory, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Experiential Therapy, and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP).

As a retired school counselor with extensive background in dealing with substance abuse issues, I am best positioned to assist clients with difficulties related to social, academic or behavioral issues. I am particularly attuned to the ways in which parenting styles impact upon the functioning of children and to the most efficient ways of creating change to promote the likeliness of a person's or family's success and happiness. At times, these are most effectively addressed through an examination and fostering of an individual's goal-setting and motivation and how these may encumber his or her movement on the path to future satisfaction.

As we journey through life's stages, we encounter peaks, valleys and adverse circumstances that will throw us off course. Choosing the high road can be difficult especially when we are stressed, anxious, facing relational problems, parenting problems and difficulties on the workplace. I will teach you coping skills to deal with these unforeseen situations and even with those that are most anticipated. I subscribe to a proactive approach to therapy; focusing on the individual's strengths, without neglecting practical and real issues of human frailties.

LGBTQ+ Therapists
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialized training, either during their degree program or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalization in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialized training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
