At Alicia Curry LLC, we know that you want to enjoy peace in your life. The problem is that you’ve been doing it on your own for so long.

In 2017, I received my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Western Michigan University. My specialty is working with clients with substance abuse, anxiety, and depression. In the past four years, I’ve had experience working with clients with personality disorders, traumatic brain injuries, PTSD, and more.

As counselor, I see therapy for adults involving a very individual, 'person centered' approach. "I believe that every person has the internal resources they need for growth & healing, and to find their direction and progress in the therapy process." I support the client on their path to success, providing empathy, acceptance for who they are and where they are, while offering a non-judgmental orientation. I encourage the client with the freedom to explore thoughts, feelings, and life experiences in our time together.
