WELCOME TO BRIDGES THERAPY
Kimberly Curtis, LCSW
About Kim Curtis, LCSW
With over two decades of experience in mental health, behavioral health, addiction recovery,
trauma, and supportive housing development, I created Bridges as a space where healing,
leadership, and community transformation come together.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I offer 1:1 therapy for individuals navigating life’s most
complex challenges. My work is grounded in trauma-informed care and harm reduction, and I
work with clients who bring rich, layered experiences—including grief, burnout, recovery,
relational stress, and the ongoing impact of mental health struggles. I meet people where they
are, with authenticity and deep respect for their resilience.
But Bridges is more than therapy. It’s where I also support nonprofit teams and leaders in
cultivating healthy, purpose-driven cultures. With a strong foundation in leadership development,
I offer coaching, consulting, and team-building to organizations dedicated to social impact and
sustainability.
As the founding Executive Director of Goodness Village, I designed and launched the program’s
direct service model from the ground up. This supportive housing community for formerly
unhoused adults in the Tri-Valley integrates tiny homes, trauma-informed services, vocational
opportunities, and 24/7 wrap-around care. Together with an incredible team, we’ve built a
thriving, community-centered program that is changing lives and shaping systems.
Currently, I’m pursuing a Doctorate in Human Services with a focus on Permanent Supportive
Housing for individuals with complex needs. My research is rooted in real-world experience and
a commitment to building compassionate, evidence-based approaches to long-term stability.
A recognized expert in behavioral health, Sylvotherapy, trauma, addiction, and
domestic violence, I also speak publicly on topics like housing justice, trauma-informed
leadership, and healing-centered systems change.
Everything I do—whether in a therapy room, leading a nonprofit, training a team, or speaking on
stage—comes back to one belief: when people are met with dignity, empathy, and the right
support, transformation isn’t just possible—it’s inevitable.
Our Services
I founded Bridges with the core goal of helping individuals and organizations find a way forward through life’s most challenging moments. Whether you’re navigating a personal turning point or leading through complexity, Bridges is a place to reconnect with purpose, possibility, and the next right step.
I offer services in three core areas:
1:1 Therapy
I offer individual therapy for adults and teens, rooted in trauma-informed, strengths-based, and solution-focused care. Many clients come to therapy feeling stuck—navigating grief, burnout, anxiety, low self-esteem, or major life transitions. Together, we explore what’s holding you in place and begin to build a bridge forward—one steady, supported step at a time.
Sessions are available either outdoors—walking or sitting among the trees or near water—or virtually via HIPAA-compliant Zoom, depending on what feels most comfortable and grounding for you.
Nonprofit Culture & Team Development
I partner with mission-driven teams and leaders to foster healthy workplace culture, trauma- informed leadership, and sustainable service models. Services include team coaching, strategic facilitation, staff care consultation, and leadership development, all grounded in a deep understanding of behavioral health, harm reduction, and complex client systems.
Speaking & Thought Leadership
I bring heart, humor, and expertise to conferences, workshops, panels, and training spaces. I present on topics like trauma-informed systems, supportive housing development, behavioral health, addiction, domestic violence, and healing-centered leadership—inviting audiences to reimagine what's possible when people and programs are built with compassion at the core.
Just as bridges connect two sides over a gap, Bridges helps people and systems move from stuck places toward healing, growth, and transformation. Sometimes the bridge is sturdy and sure. Other times, it’s a rope bridge requiring courage and care. But every step forward is a powerful act of trust—and change.

complexity and specialization of the case, the fee may range up to $250 per session.
