As a therapist, I base the foundation of my practice on the notion that you are the expert on your own life, and it is my privilege to be invited into your world to be an extra pair of eyes to help you navigate it. I see therapy as an inherently collaborative process, where we explore the ways in which various coping strategies have served you throughout your life, reinforce the strategies that are helpful, and work together to develop and practice new coping strategies for the future.

I provide psychodynamic psychotherapy for adults, young adults, College and University students. I am also a psychoanalyst working with trauma issues, that require additional sessions a week. Both approaches allow you to express internal thoughts, emotions/feelings from difficult experiences. Many people suffer from negative thinking and get stuck in that state of mind, thinking those feelings are their reality. It is only a partial state of mind, it holds us back from being more productive and enjoying life.

Are you pregnant or parenting an infant or toddler and feeling more triggered, overwhelmed, reactive, or unsure of yourself than you expected? Early parenthood can activate unhealed wounds and unresolved trauma. I specialize in supporting parents during this tender stage, helping you thoughtfully explore your own history, emotional patterns, and nervous system responses with care and safety. Our work supports your healing as well as your relationship with your child—building regulation, self-trust, and confidence so you can respond with intention and create a secure, nurturing relationship.

You may be used to being the person who keeps it together, thinks things through, and shows up for everyone else, while quietly feeling overwhelmed yourself and carrying the weight of it all on your own.
My approach is warm, collaborative, direct, and tailored to your needs. I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation — honest, supportive, and grounded — while also helping you better understand the deeper patterns shaping your life. Part of the process is finding relief and clarity in the present. Still, when helpful, we’ll also explore past experiences and relationships that may be influencing how things feel today.

What if life could feel different? You’ve asked yourself that question so many times lately. Your mind feels overwhelming, racing between old wounds and the future you long for. You’ve tried everything: grounding skills, self-help tools, and advice, yet you’re still just getting through. Stress is loud, patience is thin, and healing feels exhausting. Still, you haven’t given up. You want relief, honest support, and space to simply exist. Peace may feel distant, but you’re nearer to change than you realize.

I provide care in person near downtown Detroit, as well as online. My patients often struggle with body image, relationship problems, or oftentimes a general sense of not feeling "good enough." You probably already have some ideas about how your childhood, identities, and social structures impact your mental health, but are still suffering. I can help you understand underlying patterns that are not initially in your awareness.

My clients are individual adults in Michigan living with the aftermath of betrayal or childhood wounds — often functioning well on the outside while quietly carrying something their body won't let them forget. Most of my clients arrive after years of trying to figure out why they feel the way they feel. Some come after discovering a partner's affair or infidelity. Others come recognizing that the anxiety, the shutdown, the difficulty trusting — it all traces back to a childhood that didn't feel consistently safe. Many simply come knowing that whatever is running the show lives somewhere deep and somatic work is the possible answer.

My aim and joy as a therapist is to understand you as an expert on your own life. In order to process the complexity of everyday living, we compartmentalize and make generalizations about our experience. Sometimes we hold on to generalizations that may have served us at one point, but no longer apply to current circumstances. I concentrate on listening, non-judgmental questioning, emotional support and holding space for your process. My collaborative approach focuses on adaptation, allowing us to apply the methods that work best, while processing and making space for what does not work.

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.
