Whitney Curry is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Approved Clinical Supervisor who specializes in working with children and adolescents. She brings genuine enthusiasm and passion to her work, creating a therapeutic space that feels engaging, safe, and developmentally appropriate.

Attachment, Family Connection, and Emotional Safety
Whitney’s work is strongly informed by attachment theory and emphasizes the importance of secure, supportive relationships in a child’s emotional development. She believes one of the most powerful protective factors for children is a strong connection with their caregiver. As a result, therapy focuses not only on the child’s internal world, but also on strengthening the relationship between children and the adults who care for them. Whitney places a strong emphasis on collaboration with parents and caregivers, using family sessions to build communication, trust, and connection across the family system.
