Michael Curry was an excellent therapist. It was first time ever speaking to a therapist, and he was kind, thoughtful, informative, and understanding. He helped me see things a different way and equipped me with tools to work on and fix my problems. I highly recommend his services to anyone who may need his expertise or is considering therapy.

I am a nationally certified counselor passionate about helping couples, families, and individuals heal and develop skills to cultivate growth in body, mind, and spirit. It is my desire to identify and apply the best suited evidence-based therapeutic practices to help clients move beyond what they are dealing with, to realize their full potential and inner strength. It is my belief each therapeutic session represents steps in a journey both the client and I are on in an effort to obtain self-care and well-being. My ultimate goal in this journey is to assist clients to overcome by building hope, recovery, and resilience. I am certified in Anger Management and help clients struggling with anger as well as anxiety, depression, and relational/marital conflict. As a minister, I also provide spiritual-based counseling. I have worked with individuals in mental health rehabilitation centers, a mental health hospital, and assisting individuals and couples within my church. These different environments have afforded me the opportunity to work with a wide range of mental health disorders and needs. My experience in the military, ministry, and abroad has also prepared me for a wide range of cultural issues. I look forward to helping you along your journey and seeing you achieve what you have set out to achieve. SUCCESS!!!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Michael has been amazing. As someone who has a hard time opening up about their feelings with just anyone, Michael made me super comfortable. He is very kind, gives solid and sound advice, and helped me out in a very hard time in my life. He changed my perspective to view things and myself in a more positive manner and I couldn’t recommend him more.

I worked with Mr. Curry for 3 months. I feel like it was a really productive time. He helped me move past a lot of fears I had in regards to starting my business.

Mike is the kind of guy you can rely on. I came to him when I was in a dark place, a real low point, but he was able to build me up, help me to realize my issues weren’t at an irrecoverable point, and to see the good in what I could accomplish with a little guidance and encouragement. I would recommend speaking with him any day of the week, and twice on Sunday.

I am happy so far with my therapist, he is easy to talk to, he listens, he is not putting to many expectations on me. I feel a lot better talking to him with my sadness and able to cry .. which in my life I can’t do! I am everybody’s sunshine ☀️ and I do not burden anyone with my sadness !! But since I pay Micheal to listen I feel like I’m going to not go crazy! I don’t want to know why I am feeling the way I feel, or find a root cause, and absolutely do not want to blame or say it’s my childhood!!! I refuse to blame my pay!! I want to learn applications form my Bible and to apply them to my life! My first therapist is my Lord, Michael is an extension of the lords family! Michael is a pray warrior and he is doing God’s business! I recommend MrCurry only if the lord Aline’s him in your life?!? I think I will learn from him as he will learn stuff from me.. he might have the schooling and degrees, but sometimes life experiences are just as important as college degrees! I do have upmost respect for his work and his mission he and his wife do! Thank you Mr. Curry for your expertise and letting me talk! I appreciate you not judging me being a cry baby and not saying I am a weak person for showing my tears. I am excited to continue our treatment and you giving me more opportunities to grow and be a stronger woman and Christian !

Michael is an angel. In our two months, he helped me make so much progress with bringing my negative, fearful mindset into a more positive one. He was patient, understanding, and sensible when I'd get negative over certain topics. We did the work to reframe my negative thoughts, and I feel like I'm in a new phase in my life, a more positive one! My communication skills with my partner have also improved, and while Michael says I made it happen--I couldn't have made it happen without him! I am so grateful to have been matched with Michael, and he will always be dear to me.
