Welcome! I’m Dr. Marla Curtis, a Licensed Professional Counselor LPC in Texas, committed to fostering a safe and inclusive space for healing, growth, and self-discovery. With a strong clinical mental health counseling foundation and experience across diverse therapeutic settings, I provide a supportive, judgment-free environment tailored to your unique needs. I use an integrative approach, blending evidence-based methods with a deep respect for each person’s background and life story. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, identity exploration, or relationship challenges, I’m here to help.
I provide a supportive, affirming space for individuals, especially those in the BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and military/veteran communities. With a multicultural, trauma-informed approach, I specialize in helping clients manage anxiety, depression, stress, bipolar disorder, and trauma using evidence-based methods like DBT, CBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
I understand that life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, and you don’t have to face them alone. I’m culturally competent and trained in multiculturism. I work closely with the minoritized community to build a safe alliance. Black mental health is a priority for me! Let's connect get started.

I often use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. In DBT, we'll explore emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. These help improve communication within most relationships.
