How do I set up an appointment?

The first step is setting up a free initial consultation, which you can do by emailing morgan@curacounseling.org or calling (216) 220-7495. The consultation is our chance to meet via video chat, learn more about each other, and decide if we are the right fit for each other. Don’t sweat it, though; it is typically pretty casual.

Can you diagnose me with Autism Spectrum Disorder?

To receive an official Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis, you need to be assessed by either a psychologist, psychiatrist, or neuropsychologist. Therefore, as I am a licensed professional counselor, I cannot provide that diagnosis.

Will I be in therapy forever?

No, my goal is to work myself out of a job. As you achieve your goals and hone your skills and strategies, your need for counseling reduces to avoid creating dependence. I aim to empower you and equip you with the techniques and tools you need to overcome obstacles and accomplish your goals.

What makes your approach to counseling different?

I don’t think my approach to counseling or well-being is different. I think my ability to translate my experiences and your experiences into opportunities to demonstrate agency, mastery, and advocacy is a unique skill that many people could benefit from. I also value multisensory interventions and visual explanations, which is why my clients tend to learn so much about their brains and nervous system.

What can I expect from sessions with you?

You can expect to be fully engaged in sessions and walk away from sessions with concrete strategies, more global awareness of your nervous system and brain functioning, and a sense of empowerment that you CAN reach your goals.

Who is Lois?

Lois is my 135-lb. Great Dane-Mastiff who often visits us in session and is present at most Walk-N-Talk sessions. She is full of love and melatonin, bringing so much joy and love everywhere she goes.

What does CURA stand for?

Cura comes from a Latin phrase, Cura Personalis, which translates to “Care for the Whole Person.” This phrase is foundational to my work and my company.

What’s the best piece of advice for clients?

Only use TikTok for barbecue recipes and cleaning hacks.

Is a hot dog a sandwich?

Absolutely not. I have nothing more to say.
