Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Fairfax, VA

What do YOU need? This is the deceptively simple question which I ask my clients almost every session. What would change if you asked yourself that simple question more often? This is an example of some of the foundational work which I'll infuse into our sessions. I LOVE what I do and am so honored to be a part of your life! My goal as your therapist is to encourage, support, empower, and listen. I view therapy as a true partnership where you're not alone while you navigate the 'messy middle' of life in these uncertain times. I work solely virtually after getting positive feedback from busy clients who appreciate this convenience.

I totally enjoy working with the various populations: probation substance use disorder; court order for DUI treatment; college students with anxiety/depression and life transition issues; and anyone that is wanting to learn how to correct thinking errors in order to change the outcome of their situations.

Do you need help in these times? Is life not working they way you want? It is okay to not be okay. Let's figure it out together. I am Patrick Curley, LCSW. I work with children, adolescents, adults and families who have been diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, depression, conflict resolution, stress, self-esteem, trauma, and emotional issues.

In my therapeutic approach, we will explore your experience of mind-body (psychosomatic) dysregulation that caused the physical symptoms such as gastrointestinal problems (e.g., Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), functional nausea, functional abdominal pain, chronic pain, trauma-related weight gain, sleep-wake cycle dysregulation, etc. Metaphorically speaking, our therapeutic relationship will function as a container that holds complex emotions so we can explore, tolerate, and process them without judgment. As a result, your body will be relieved from its containing function, and the physical symptoms will diminish.

We all have many differences, yet we want the same things. Love, importance, duty and a sense of belonging. The path we choose will either lead us closer towards or further away from our desired goals. It scares us when we are uncertain or unwilling to accept the route we have selected. As we continue to journey through life, we wish that our emotions & thoughts behave in predictable or comprehensive ways. Our goals is to always know or have the answer to the next problem that we will face.

As a Clinical Psychologist, I specialize in psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families. People often come to me because, despite their efforts to change, they end up in the same cycles...cycles of anxiety, depression, disordered eating, relationship struggles, isolation, procrastination, workaholism...the list goes on and on. People often wonder "why can't I just change?" These cycles of behavior are driven by our life experiences and sense of ourself and others. Together, we will explore these ideas so that you can begin to create newer positive cycles of peace, calm, joy, contentment, intimacy, health, and fulfillment.
