“My experience with the provider was warm, professional and friendly. The session started a bit late but she gave me some extra time due to the late start. She asked pointed questions according to the assessment questionnaires. It’s early days for me to suggest a recommendation, it was my first visit with the provider.”

Getting to know Curlia Forde
Are you feeling stuck, anxious, or weighed down by life’s challenges? You’re not alone — and you don’t have to face it alone. I’m Curlia, a compassionate therapist dedicated to helping adults find clarity, confidence, and emotional balance.

A moment of vulnerability here, ive always been a loner. I grew up in a very toxic home. I kept to myself because that meant safety. So naturally I strugge to trust Healthcare professionals. I didnt trust the health care system, ESPECIALLY in nyc at the time. When I met Ms. Forde, I had every guard up. I didnt make it easy to converse with me deeply on any level. She didn't give up. What she did was learn my language. She learned how to talk to me in a way that made me feel seen. Turns out, we had alot in common. Ms. Forde helped me through really traumatic times of uncertainty in my life. I genuinely never feel judge when speaking to her, and that for me was it. Do I still struggle, yes. I know I have someone I can trust, someone I can talk to when I cant cope. I hope anyone taking the time to read this, which we should all do, give her a chance too. She's a great therapist and listener.

It was quite difficult finding a provider at first until I found this practice. I was able to connect with provider CF, who was very patient, knowledgeable and overall a professional. It was my first time looking for support so I was happy to connect with someone who understands. I would highly recommend!
