You feel anxious and it’s hard to shut your brain off. People tell you to relax, but it’s not that easy. Your life is going well, but there’s always a new worry on the horizon. You’ve worked hard to get where you are, but it’s hard to sit back and enjoy it. Your standards for yourself feel too high. You tend to doubt yourself and your abilities and look to other people to reassure you. You invest a lot of time and energy into how other people feel, but end up in one-sided relationships. It’s hard to take up space, feel confident, and speak your truth. I help anxious overachievers rest, relax, and find balance in their busy lives.

If life feels like a lot right now, whether for you or someone you love, you don’t have to carry it alone. The reasons for seeking therapy can be numerous anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, etc. Sometimes it helps to have an expert hold space to just let you breathe. Maybe you need help finding clarity about what’s next or real tools for change. My hope is that you can have a place that helps you make sense of what’s happening, get expert feedback on a path forward, and help (for you or your loved one) start feeling better, steadier, and more hopeful again.

Progress is a professional passion of mine. I listen to you and help you discover your own solutions that will feel right to you.

I specialize in substance use / addictions, LGBTQ, BPD, life transitions, and suicidal ideation.
Do you feel like you need someone as a therapist who not only has the letters after their name, but also has the lived experience of mental health issues and years of treatment? Although I don't understand what it's like to be you, I understand the difficulties of navigating life with the added challenges that these issues bring in a way that just a textbook doesn't teach. Ultimately, I believe that you are the person who knows you best. I believe that with a little bit of guidance (and maybe a little bit of respectful confrontation), you can do the work to get yourself to your best life!

I help with anxiety, depression, and substance use with practical approaches: harm reduction perspectives, CBT/DBT techniques, and mindfulness-based stress reduction.
Looking through endless therapist profiles is exhausting when you're already struggling. I want to make this simple: I don't sugarcoat things. I am here to actively work with you, not just listen and nod like an echo chamber. Working together, we can actually change what's not working by developing practical skills that are effective and easy to use. I've witnessed countless journeys of growth and healing and I believe wholeheartedly in your capacity for change. I work well with all kinds of people, and I especially click with gamers, students, and musicians (shared interests tend to lead to a better therapeutic connection).

Do you ever feel like your emotions hit too hard, or disappear altogether, when you need them most? Maybe you shut down, go numb, or get swept up in anxiety that seems to come out of nowhere. These responses often come from old wounds your body is still trying to protect you from. I help people understand these patterns, reconnect with themselves, and build tools that make life feel less chaotic and more manageable. You deserve support that meets you where you are and helps you move toward where you want to be.

Welcome! I’m K. Hilary Curtis-Long, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over eight years of experience in trauma informed and systems-oriented care. My work is grounded in the belief that distress is not a personal failing, but a meaningful response to lived experience—often shaped by relational wounds, cultural narratives, and environments that ask too much of the nervous system. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, listen carefully, and make sense of what your symptoms have been trying to communicate.

My ideal client is a thoughtful adult who feels emotionally worn down despite working hard to manage life well. They struggle with anxiety, overthinking, or a heavy, persistent sense of discouragement that shows up as tension, self-criticism, and disconnection. Many are navigating relationship strain, betrayal, or major life transitions and feel stuck in their head, unsure how to feel grounded or secure again. They want clarity, emotional steadiness, and meaningful change not just coping, but relief that lasts.

Hi, I'm Halie. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating traumatic experiences, grief and loss, depression, and anxiety. I know it can feel as if the pain will always feel as intense as it does in the moment you’re currently in, but there is hope. If we were to work together, I would not help you to erase the trauma or loss, but to live past it; to live well in spite of it. It is possible to experience joy and hope for the future, even after such devastating experiences. Whether your pain started yesterday or decades ago, I am here to help.
