Shahadah Lucas-Curtis

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC). My sessions are rooted in theory, structure, and tools of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My path to becoming a therapist was founded on a desire to help people discover solutions to troubling matters and learn how to address them. I strive to build highly supportive, collaborative, and compassionate relationships with clients, tailoring treatment to their needs, goals, and preferences. I'm passionate about bringing relief from psychological challenges.

My CBT experience and knowledge have grounded me in applying personalized, integrative interventions that foster healing and growth. My commitment to clients is to support them in navigating challenges through structured, evidence-based psychotherapy sessions. I'll help you identify thought patterns and behaviors, and we'll create practical tools to resolve them. You'll always know what we're working on and why. Together, we'll work through issues and areas that need psychological support.

If you've been waiting for the right time to get support, this is it.

I believe in taking a collaborative approach to help clients reach their goals. My work focuses on building therapeutic relationships that foster effective problem-solving skills and habits in clients, utilizing an eclectic methodology with a strong emphasis on CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy).

In our initial (intake) session, I’ll review the basic structure of the therapy process, and we’ll discuss informed consent/confidentiality. I’ll share some of my theoretical approaches and ask questions to get a sense of what has brought you to therapy. Simply put, our first session involves collecting basic information about what brings you to therapy, what you'd like to work on, and details about your life and history relevant to our treatment plan and design. If it feels like a good fit, we go ahead and schedule our next session!
