Getting to know Karen Curtis

Hi there, I'm Karen! Greetings! I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for 20 years. I earned my Master’s in Counseling from Wake Forest University, which laid the foundation for my passion and expertise in mental health. I approach therapy as a collaborative process that helps you understand yourself better and make positive changes. I use various evidence-based techniques to help you achieve your goals, specializing in anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. My approach My therapeutic approach is integrative, combining elements from evidence-based practices to tailor treatment to each individual's needs. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and modify maladaptive thoughts and behaviors, and incorporate mindfulness to promote present-moment awareness and emotional regulation. I also draw from psychodynamic principles to explore how past experiences impact current functioning, fostering self-discovery and growth. My focus I work with individuals and couples, especially those navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, and mood disorders. I focus on perinatal mental health, supporting individuals and couples through pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood. I also provide premarital counseling to couples building a strong foundation for marriage. Additionally, I have extensive experience helping clients with anxiety and depression, using evidence-based approaches to develop coping skills and improve well-being. My communication style I create a space that feels safe, comfortable, and supportive. I want clients to feel heard, understood, and respected, fostering trust and collaboration. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist was driven by a deep fascination with the human mind and a desire to help.
