I am a seasoned clinician based in Brooklyn with a background in relational, attachment based psychotherapy. A psychodynamic approach will help us identify what's under the surface to tackle old habits, default behaviors, cognitive distortions that can cause symptoms like anxiety or depression. Trauma can be debilitating until you learn strategies to weaken its hold. Therapy is a partnership to strengthen your sense of self, create sustainable skills to cope with stressors, feel effective in meeting your own needs. I utilize a wide variety of therapeutic approaches, adapted specifically for you including CBT and EMDR.

We are inherently social creatures that yearn for connectedness but sometimes it is difficult to connect with ourselves. Even when we desire to understand our own pain and struggles, that inner connection doesn't always come how or when we hoped. I believe that a connectedness to one's self and others can be achieved; and can come more naturally with practice. As your therapist, I will foster a warm and supportive therapeutic environment for us to work together. This is a place where you can gently peel back layers of awareness so that you can more easily reach your authentic self.

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 moment-to-moment experience of self and others. This understanding may lead to meaningful change and to the emergence of choices which were not previously considered. I am respectful of individual needs and differences and consider social & cultural influences. Email is best: drscurtis@gmail.com.

Are you having trouble navigating relationships with friends, loved ones, and colleagues? Are you feeling like your emotions are getting too big to handle? Or are you just feeling down on yourself lately? You might feel like you are constantly being misunderstood by those around you, which may lead you either to push people away or violate your own boundaries by people-pleasing. You may even find that you are comparing yourself to others, which is becoming detrimental to how you see yourself. But you don’t have to go at it alone.

Every journey toward healing is unique and the decision to seek counseling can be difficult. Healing starts with a choice and is an ongoing process. When we create a deeper, meaningful relationship with ourselves, we can better understand and gain awareness around our actions, thoughts, and behaviors. I am passionate about the work I do and understand the importance of providing a safe space, where you can be heard. We will work together to help you develop a new awareness allowing for change. We will identify existing strengths, assess presenting concerns, and explore new coping methods to replace maladaptive patterns.

I believe that therapy should be as multi-dimensional and adaptive as you are. You are the expert on your own life, and the therapy space that we create together is one that centers and honors your resiliency and strengths. I believe my role as your therapist is to help facilitate your movement toward healing. You decide what you want to work on, and together we move at the speed of trust. My approach as a practitioner is integrative, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I use mindfulness and embodiment practices, including somatic parts work, and relational and attachment approaches.

We all have ideas of what our lives are going to look like. Processing events that veer life off the anticipated course can be difficult. Similarly, the anticipated course does not always feel as we expected it would. It is okay to not be okay, It is not okay to suffer. I have extensive experience in the field of Maternal Mental Health, particularly with obstetrics, postpartum emotional experiences, supporting partners during fertility struggles, and fetal and infant loss.

What type of Brooklyn mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist or psychologist, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.
