About Our Practice

At Curo Counseling & Consulting, we specialize in helping individuals navigate the lasting effects of trauma and PTSD through a mind-body, neurobiologically-informed approach. We believe healing happens in relationship — to ourselves, others, and our bodies.

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.
