Professional statement

Connor Curtis, a licensed independent clinical social worker serving clients across Rhode Island, strives to create a warm, approachable environment for clients to gently and safely process their experiences and feelings. Connor specializes in supporting young adults, undergraduate and graduate students, international students, medical students, and folks in the LGBTQ+ community.

Blending evidence-based clinical tools with warmth, humor, and empowerment, Connor has expertise in supporting clients who are experiencing grief, traumatic experiences across the lifespan, sexual and interpersonal violence, life transitions, and navigating peer and familial relationships. Connor brings clinical experience from employment at the University of Hartford, the Rhode Island School of Design, and currently at Brown University.

Connor approaches each client as a unique individual and pulls from attachment theory, insight-oriented therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and trauma-informed care to create tailored treatment plans that fit the needs of each client. Connor prioritizes her responsibility to stay culturally aware of how identity informs each person’s own experience.
