About Our Practice

At Curo, we envision a world where everyone feels felt, seen, and known. A world where trauma is transformed into empowerment. We are guided by the idea that everyone deserves love, kindness, dignity and respect. Our expert services in our Virginia based practice reflect this. We are also guided by the idea that people are interdependent, so we consider the other in everything we do.

Curo clinicians see creativity as a key indicator of mental health and wellness. Through evidence-based therapy, we help our clients move past surviving to thriving.

We Can Help You With:

  • Trauma & PTSD: Process distressing memories and chronic trauma using EMDR and body-based approaches.

  • Anxiety and Chronic Stress: Learn to calm racing thoughts and manage overwhelm through nervous system regulation.

  • Emotional Dysregulation & Triggers: Build awareness and tools to manage intense emotions and reduce reactivity.

  • Grief and Attachment Wounds: Heal from loss and relational pain with supportive, attachment-informed therapy.

  • Self-Esteem and Inner Criticism: Quiet the inner critic and strengthen your sense of self with compassionate guidance.

Our Therapeutic Approaches

We offer integrative trauma-focused therapy rooted in evidence-based and somatic methods, including:

Curo Counseling & Consulting

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing):

Proven to help process distressing memories, EMDR is an effective therapy for PTSD, trauma, and emotional overwhelm.

Internal Family Systems (IFS):

This relational, parts-based model helps clients understand and heal wounded parts of themselves while building a sense of inner leadership.

Somatic & Neurobiological Therapy:

We draw from body-based approaches that incorporate nervous system regulation and trauma-informed mindfulness to support healing from the inside out.

EMDR Intensives:

For those seeking deeper or faster progress, we offer customized EMDR intensive sessions that allow for extended healing work in fewer visits.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT):

Strengthen relationships and address attachment wounds through deep emotional connection.

Gottman Method:

Evidence-based couples therapy to improve communication, reduce conflict, and rebuild trust.
