Jessica Curran, MA, LMFT, MedFT

Introduction:
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) specializing in Medical Family Therapy (MedFT), I offer a distinct blend of professional expertise and personal insight in my practice. With a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northcentral University, a Bachelor of Applied Technology in Health Services from the University of Texas RGV, and an Associate degree in Radiologic Technology and Diagnostic Sonography, I bring a comprehensive educational background to my therapeutic approach.

Personal Experience:
Originally from New Orleans, LA, I relocated to Tampa in 2019, bringing with me a wealth of multicultural experiences. Having spent a significant portion of my formative years living abroad, I possess a deep appreciation for diverse cultures and backgrounds. As a devoted mother to an elementary school-aged daughter, I intimately understand the delicate balance between personal and professional responsibilities. In my leisure time, my daughter and I actively engage in our community, embracing outdoor activities together.

Therapy Approach:
Grounded in the bio-psycho-social model, my therapeutic approach encompasses all facets of clients' lives, including chronic and acute illness. Specializing in supporting couples, individuals, and families, I provide guidance in navigating a spectrum of challenges such as depression, trauma, divorce/separation, grief, and intimacy issues. My sub-specialization in Medical Family Therapy equips me to assist clients in confronting chronic and terminal diseases, acute medical conditions, and the intricate nuances of grief and loss from a systemic perspective.

Collaborative Approach:
I believe in fostering a collaborative therapeutic alliance, where I join clients on their journey without judgment. Together, we explore novel perspectives and co-create narratives that promote positive transformations in behaviors, emotions, and relational dynamics. My objective is to empower clients to confront life's adversities with resilience and self-assurance.

Therapeutic Modalities:
Drawing from a diverse array of therapeutic modalities, I tailor my approach to suit the individual needs of each client. Modalities may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Solutions-Focused Therapy, Collaborative Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques.
