I believe that counseling allows you to explore who you are. As a counselor, I will assist you, your family, and your children with life challenges. I will help you find which self-care techniques work best for you as an individual. Together we will discover your success and how to find the comfortable path for you to get there. I have worked with individuals and families in various settings for over ten years, using various treatment models promoting individual strengths. I have worked with children, adolescents, and families in different stages of life.

I strive to create an open, supportive, and collaborative environment in therapy. Working from a person-centered therapeutic approach, I believe that authenticity and unconditional positive regard are important in creating a safe space for clients to better understand themselves and grow. I strive to have an empathic and nonjudgmental attitude in therapy. I also focus on the therapist-client relationship according to an interpersonal process approach. I believe that the working relationship between client and therapist can support change and growth.

I have worked extensively with individuals across the life span with depression and anxiety using cognitive behavioral therapy, breath work and mindfulness. I see depression and anxiety as disorders of rumination, getting stuck in ruminative loops of thinking they cannot escape from. I understand that most humans will need some assistance as they deal with very complex relational and environmental stressors. Most clients have a difficult time with learning how to be observers of their thoughts and emotions. We do have good evidence that treatment can provide relief by developing habits that support change and restorative growth

The early years of a person’s life can provide the structure and foundation that shapes how they view the world around them, and how they view themselves. Giving someone the opportunity and tools to identify, process and embrace their thoughts and feelings can make all the difference in supporting someone in becoming who they will be. I specialize in helping children to learn how to embrace and cope with their strong emotions, behavioral struggles, and life changes using play therapy techniques and a strengths-based approach.

Therapy is an exploratory, personal and interpersonal conversation. You are the expert on yourself and I will be your guide and mirror, helping you re-set your, or your loved ones challenges, into successful resolve and recovery.

“You cannot heal what you refuse to confront.” Is this a phrase that resonates with you? If so, then you are in the right place. Sometimes in life we get to a point where we realize that we are not living our truest life or our most actualized self. This can be anything from dealing with our daily turmoil and tribulations to confronting deep insecurities, distressing anxiety and depression, or past trauma. One of the key steps to overcoming these concerns is to turn inward and examine the self. In our counseling relationship, I promise to provide you with my most authentic self so that you can discover yours.

I assist clients in gaining insight on their situations as well as the development of specific skills and behaviors that will help to reduce emotional distress.

I believe that each of us was created beautifully and meant to live with joy, but that throughout the course of life, we experience brokenness, pain, loss, regret, and different forms of trauma. Therapy is a process by which we examine how we hurt and explore how to heal.

My goal in working with clients is to provide support, compassion, and accountability as well as to offer resources and tools to empower individuals, increase their confidence, and further begin to identify and make progress in achieving their goals. I believe that treatment should not be conducted as a one size fits all approach; instead I desire to work in collaboration with clients to identify and progress in achievement of client specific goals through therapeutic interventions utilizing evidence based treatment and therapeutic modalities.

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. You don’t think that anyone understands you, and therefore they can’t help you. This leads to isolation and overwhelm. We understand what it’s like to doubt that anyone can help you. We believe no one should ever walk through distress alone. This is why we have spent the last 18 years helping teenagers and women cope with toxic relationships, grief, loss, sexual harassment, trauma, abuse, anxiety, and depression so they can heal and have a more fulfilling life.

What situation qualifies for counseling? My answer to that is being human. Many believe that counseling is only necessary for major life events. The truth is you do not have to be on the high end of the stress spectrum to seek professional support. Life can be hard. Counseling provides a supportive and nonjudgmental space to process all circumstances.

I primarily work with children, adolescents, and families. Many of my clients have struggled with life transitions, symptoms of anxiety, depression symptoms, and social skills. Parents are invited to come to sessions to support skills inside and outside the counseling session. Collaborating with the family supports allows for skill acquisition and client empowerment.

My ideal client is one that is struggling but wants to improve. Neurodevelopmental disorders are my JAM! ADHD, Learning Disabilities, and Autism Spectrum Disorders is where I direct much of my clinical experience. It's important to me that my clients (and their parents/families/teachers) understand the uniqueness of their disorder and how to turn a perceived deficit into a SUPERPOWER. All children are wonderful gifts, and I love helping children discover and embrace their best selves. A diagnosis does not define you, your child, or your family.
