Michelle Curry, LCSW

Hi my name is Michelle Curry, I know reaching out for help can be challenging and scary. I want to reduce some uncertainties here for you by telling you about my approach to therapy. I want to start by acknowledging the amazing effort it took to begin searching for help. I want to encourage you that it is okay to feel what you are feeling! You may still be wondering if therapy is right for you. If your past is negatively impacting your present, if you are overwhelmed with daily responsibilities, if you have difficulty saying no to others yet trouble identifying your own needs, if managing your anxiety or depression feels out of reach for you, then yes, therapy would be beneficial for you. 

I provide a welcoming, kind, judgement free environment with acceptance and openness to listen and explore what is most pressing in your life. It’s okay if you can’t pinpoint how you feel right now. I work alongside you to explore solutions, learn real tools, and move past what is hindering your life. I am here to listen and support you. I personally experienced overwhelming anxiety that I had to work through and learn to manage. I used to do everything for everyone and nothing for myself. I received healing from my past experiences. My journey inspired me to become a counselor to help others regain control over their life and live authentically as their very best self. 

I have a Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of South Florida and I am a Certified Crisis, Trauma, and PTSD Counselor specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, codependency, crisis, relational issues, boundaries, grief and a wide range of mental health disorders. I have experience working with adults helping them navigate crisis situations, process and heal from past trauma, and employ effective coping skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. 

Therapy is collaborative when fostered through trust and support. We can explore tools and multiple techniques to help reduce your symptoms and process your experiences at your comfort and pace. During our first appointment together we will explore the direction of our work together towards beneficial outcomes aligned with your personal preferences.
