Jessica Curlett (she/her)

I work with clients who experience the effects of ADHD in their everyday life and want to work to understand themselves better, as well as learn strategies and techniques to be more effective in their school or work setting. We also work to learn how to care for themselves best, and what specific self care strategies could best meet their needs.

I have a wide array of knowledge on Generalized Anxiety Disorder and the treatment of this diagnosis. I have also worked with social anxiety. I work with clients from a psychoeducational approach to teach more about what is happening in their brain and body when experiencing anxiety, and use a CBT framework to address lies my clients believe about themselves and reframe them into healthier, more adaptive, ways of thinking.

I work with clients who are experiencing a change in there mood that causes them to isolate, feel down most days, and stop having interest in hobbies, work, school, or friendships. I support clients in creating behavioral strategies to get themselves moving again, as well as CBT to help understand where these feelings may have a root.

I work with clients through a relational cultural therapy perspective in which we look at how the closest relationships in one's life, paired with their visible identity traits have influenced they way they see themselves and the world around them, and how that may or may not be contributing to their mental health concern.

I work with clients through this strengths based approach to therapy, to look at how solutions can be created in a way that aligns with personality, strengths and values. With these solutions the client feels they can take action in their current circumstances to create new future hopes/goals.

I work with clients to understand how our beliefs about ourselves, create thoughts that ultimately create actions. Often these thoughts are cognitive distortions we have picked up through our lives and think are truth without ever questioning them or looking at the evidence. Using psychoeducation, client's learn what thoughts might be keeping them stuck or contributing to their anxiety, or other symptoms.
