You're here because you are suffering in some way, whether it is a life transition, relationship, sexual issue, grief, anxiety or depression. Dr. Curts is BACK, after 12 yrs. I would love to work with you. I am a seasoned psychotherapist who has worked with almost every issue imaginable. You won't shock me. You'll find me warm, accepting, work oriented, and highly competent. I don't specialize in any specific therapy--I am qualified in most, but use what you need, not the latest trend.

Trauma has impacted every relationship in your life. You have struggled to connect with others around you and you feel like it’s your fault, like there is something wrong with you. You’re often angry, anxious, confused, overwhelmed, sad and frequently shut down and disconnected. You know you can’t keep living like this, but you don’t know where to turn. You feel like you’re the only person experiencing your struggles, but you’re not! While it’s often hard to ask for help or to even know how, therapy can be enormously helpful and gratifying.

Have you, or even worse, your feelings been holding you back? Are you living through the lens of the past that is informing your present? Do you find yourself engaging in outdated beliefs, relationships, societal norms and expectations that just don't seem to resonate with you anymore? Sometimes when you grow outside of the box that you used to call home you find yourself wandering around not knowing exactly where you fit or how to transition into the new version of yourself. Before you start cramming yourself back into the old box you just broke out of, it might be time to start embodying the new you!

Domestic Abuse Therapists

What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?

Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.

When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?

Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.

What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?

Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.

How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?

It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
