Great Counselor and genuinely cares about the individual he is working with. He creates strategies to resolve issues that he uncovers and works towards a goal. He knows what he is doing.

Dr. Curtis is the first therapist that I've spoken to. He has made me feel comfortable enough to talk about some difficult subjects. He seems well prepared and like he has put a lot of thought into the journals I have shared with him prior to our sessions. It is still very early in my therapy, but I feel confident that Dr. Curtis can help me.

Dr. Curtis is phenomenal. His approach was very supportive, laid back and helpful. He was able to sort through my madness and help see the areas I need to focus on. Breaking down my chaos into smaller more manageable steps to work towards creating a manageable life for myself. I always felt heard and understood by Dr. Curtis. So thank you! I appreciate everything you did in supporting me in my journey to develop coping strategies to live a more productive and meaning existence.
