Safford is a city of over 9000 that was founded in 1874 and was named after the Arizona Territorial Governor Anson P. K. Safford who was known as the “little governor” because he was only 5’6” tall. The community of Safford is friendly and close-knit and those who live here enjoy their town but sometimes you may just need a little extra help.

Whether you are trying to untangle your finances or your relationship, struggling with addiction, or having a hard time with your anxiety or depression, the best way to get help is to ask for it. In fact, it is usually the only way you can get help. There are many counselors in the Safford area who are able to help you no matter what the problem is.

I am licensed in Arizona and Wisconsin with 7 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, lgbt-related issues, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & career difficulties. I use an eclectic approach to therapy to fit your needs rather than try and fit you into a given type of therapy. I am not the kind of therapist who will hand you packets in order to teach you skills (unless you really want them). Instead, I will help you identify coping skills you are already likely to use. I offer a kind, caring, and non-judgmental environment to help you meet your goals.

We can all benefit from someone to talk to, in confidence. Maybe we have some questions, dilemmas, or looking for relief from situations that we are dealing with on a daily basis or just occasionally. A therapist is a qualified person to help you work through whatever you are experiencing. My name is Patricia Curran and I have been providing therapy to individuals for over 30 years. I have experience in outpatient, inpatient, and confinement settings. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology. My 30+ years have exposed me to many, many situations and as a result I think I can help individuals in their current self search. I use a combination of therapeutic approaches as I believe no one system works for everyone. I believe that everyone has their own answers deep inside, it is just a matter of finding our answers and beginning to incorporate our behaviors and thinking to a better life or at least one we want. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, daily confusion, relationship difficulties or life difficulties we can go on the journey together to find what you are looking for in life.

But, more importantly, you are taking the first step toward healing. I honor your bravery in taking this step, thank you for trusting me in this process. “You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
