He brings 17 years of counseling experience and a calm, accepting presence to sessions. People who choose him can expect straightforward, respectful care and practical steps toward feeling better.
He has worked in many settings including a hospital psychiatric unit, a pediatric clinic, and as an employee assistance counselor.

He also taught as an adjunct professor at Louisiana State University, Shreveport, which added depth to his clinical perspective.
Curtis describes his practice as empathetic and non-judgmental. He aims to understand each person’s story and tailor the work to their needs. In sessions he focuses on clear goals and usable tools rather than jargon or long theoretical explanations.

Outside of work he enjoys sailing, backpacking, skiing, and cooking, especially apple pie. His family life with a spouse, six children, and grandchildren is an important part of his perspective and his steady approach to counseling.
