More about Curllin
- 6 years' experience
- Female
- Psychologist
I gained my Clinical Psychology doctorate at the Wright State University in Ohio, USA, and I obtained a wealth of experience working at the University of Rochester Medical Center, NY, and St. George's Univerisity counseling center.
I have worked with people suffering from a diverse number of mental health problems, with a specialized interest in binge eating disorders, grief and loss, parenting challenges, depression, generalized anxiety, interracial relationships, and long-distance relationships, as well as social anxiety, OCD, and PTSD. I, therefore, aim to integrate a range of clinical approaches particularly, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. I am passionate about helping clients to make sense of their difficulties in line with a framework supported by the evidence base.
Coming from a small island, Grenada, I appreciate the challenges of uprooting to a new and unfamiliar cultural, social, and learning environment. I bring diverse cultural and clinical experiences gained from living, working, and studying in Uganda, Belgium, the United States of America, and Cuba. I am committed to providing culturally sensitive services to students, staff, and faculty as I support their intellectual, emotional, social, spiritual, and relational transformations.

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.
