I am a resilience-informed psychotherapist who specializes in addiction, anxiety, depression, self-growth, and trauma. My approach is authentic, warm, supportive and person-centered. I adapt my knowledge and expertise to offer an individualized therapeutic experience. I work alongside clients on their healing journeys with a compassionate and non-pathologizing approach. I am deeply invested in helping clients attain their goals and lead meaningful lives.

In addition to addressing different mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic mental health needs and interpersonal challenges, I hold zeal in supporting those in the LGBTQIA+ community.

It can be exceptionally challenging or isolating to find affirmation while navigating these complex needs!

Welcome! As a Black, queer, first generation American, Trinidadian, and cis-gender woman, my clients are primarily BIPOC folx who experience mental health and relational challenges as a result of the history of colonialism, slavery, sexism, White supremacy, and xenophobia that has led to a world of inequity and the fear of "other." I partner with those striving to combat the negative impact of systems of oppression (including trauma, depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem) as we move toward radical acceptance of self, joy, ease, and healing.

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 the moment-to-moment experience of self and others. This understanding may lead to meaningful change and to the emergence of choices that were not previously considered. I am respectful of individual needs and differences and consider social & cultural influences. Please contact me via email: drscurtisatgmail.com.
