Ashley Curcio, LPC — Therapist in New Jersey

Hi there, I'm Ashley!

I specialize in treating complex mental health, neurodevelopmental, and substance abuse conditions. My work combines art and spirituality to provide individualized interventions that foster self-understanding and personal growth. I'm passionate about creating a space where you can safely explore painful emotions.

My focus

I work with adolescents and adults suffering from anxiety, depression, and trauma-related issues. My experience includes treating severe and persistent mental illness, neurodevelopmental conditions, and substance abuse across diverse populations and settings.

My approach

I utilize CBT and DBT combined with spirituality and art therapy modalities. This integrative approach allows us to address your concerns from multiple angles, helping you develop practical coping skills while exploring deeper emotional and spiritual dimensions of healing.

My communication style

This is an open and interactive safe space to express painful emotions. I create a warm, collaborative environment where you can explore your experiences without judgment and work toward meaningful change at your own pace.

My journey to mental healthcare

After years in the fashion industry, I experienced a traumatic event that led me to therapy. The profound progress I made through my own mental health treatment inspired me to become a therapist and help others heal in meaningful ways.

My goals for you

We set an agenda at the initial session and discuss goals collaboratively. Throughout our work together, we'll regularly revisit and adjust these goals to ensure therapy remains aligned with your evolving needs and progress.

Our first session

The first session is an introduction to services and rapport-building activities. We'll discuss what brought you to therapy, explore your goals, and begin establishing a comfortable, trusting therapeutic relationship.
