Teresa (Terry) Curtis
Helping individuals, couples, and families have been a passion of mine throughout my career. I have worked with various multi-cultural populations, including the military and veterans. My goal is to be supportive as well as directive in guiding those who need assistance in moving forward with their lives. I have an extremely compassionate, personable personality, and I empathize with those needing help in their lives.
First session
I hope the client feels "heard and understood", and that they have a person on their side.
Strengths
I believe it is important to listen to what an individual needs to speak about and take in their expression of the situation. Then I can offer the therapeutic approach which I believe would be most effective. If a person wants a different approach, I can take in their information and proceed with what would be most helpful. I have very strong connections with my clients and I care deeply about their well-being.
Ideal clients
A client who is reaching out for support and guidance due to feeling emotional , "alone and distressed". Those who are looking for a person who will understand their pain and help them move through the grief they are experiencing. Also, helping them take the steps needed to move forward. I allow my clients to express their feelings without censoring them.
Treatment methods
Motivational Interviewing
This method allows clients to express their resistance and work with them in a manner that disarms their apprehensions.
