Curt Spigelmyre

LMFT, MA OF COUNSELING 

 
 

Life is full of transitions, but sometimes there are some unexpected curve balls. Majority of us have hit a fork in the road and we are not sure where to turn. During those times we need some guidance in navigating what to do next. 

Curt seeks to provide a safe place for clients to be seen, heard, and accepted. He aspires to help couples deepen their connection by addressing their underlying wounds and supporting them towards great openness and transparency towards each other. Curt actively seeks to connect with and understands his clients and their stories. Some of us have never been invited to explore parts of our story that deeply affected us. Our lives are often so busy that we do not give ourselves permission to listen to what our bodies are telling us about the stress and/or the pain that we carry until we get crushed underneath by what overwhelms us. We cannot change our past, but we can rewrite our story to have a more satisfying and life-fulling present and future.

Curt specializes in assisting individuals, couples, and families who are in times of transition and/or challenging situations. He also has experience in counseling those who are struggling with addictions. Curt has done extensive work helping those with trauma, loss and grief issues. Faith is the foundation of his counseling practice.  

Curt’s counseling approach uses a variety of different methods with his clients based on their presented need including emotional focused therapy, attachment theory, internal family systems, family system therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness.  

Curt has cross-cultural experience in various teaching and counseling positions in southeast Asia for fifteen years. He also had a cross cultural marriage with his wife Nancy who he has been married to for fifteen years. In his free time, he likes eating good food, cycling, listening to music, swimming, reading, and playing with his three energetic boys.
