I am authentic and transparent in my approach to treating clients. I enjoy the working relationship with clients and allow space for them to be themselves. We set and revise treatment goals together, as needed.

Hello, my name is Tina Curran-Taylor, LPC. My favorite areas of practice include trauma, addictions, depression and anxiety including all the nuanced behaviors that can present within these categories. Many people have the misconception that you must dig relentlessly into the past to release the pain or the limiting beliefs and though the past informs our current approach to life, we only want to explore as much as it takes to release the chains. With the advancement in therapeutic approaches including Emotional Freedom Techniques, Energy Psychology approaches and Internal Family Systems, we can compassionately address the pain you carry without rehashing it over and over again. My primary therapeutic approaches included Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT/Tapping); Energy Psychology Techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Somatic Techniques, Internal Family System strategies, reflective listening, humor, mindfulness strategies, and writing prompts. I also will often send YouTube videos, book and website recommendations that you can access between sessions.

I am an internationally-known couples therapist, workshop presenter, and clinical trainer. In 2010, I founded the Tikkun Learning Center, an educational institution through which I train, supervise, and consult therapists in Encounter-centered Couples Therapy (EcCT). EcCT is an extremely effective method with proven success in teaching couples who to re-create the magic of connection. EcCT is an integrative approach inspired by the philosophy of Martin Buber, as well as a variety of relational methodologies including Imago Relationship Therapy, Appreciative Inquiry, Re-evaluation Counseling, and Relational Neuro-biology. I have developed a unique, customized, transformational two-day private session for one couple. You will receive my full attention, expertise and mastery, and I will introduce you to the groundbreaking and pragmatic principle of the three invisible connectors: "the Space, the Bridge, and the Encounter."

I help people navigate change: going to college, having a child, mourning the loss of a loved one, ending a relationship, grieving expectations and hopes around fertility, and so much more. If you have found yourself in the midst of a change or are looking for your life to feel different, you are in the right place and I am here to help. My goal is to come alongside you and meet you where you are...to be with you as you dig deeper. Together we can work to heal pain from the past and help change your future. Book with me now by clicking on my website. We will work together to create a plan to help you reach your goals. Call or message today to talk about a plan for your needs. I approach therapy from a psychodynamic framework and blend Emotion-Focused and Mindfulness-based interventions to help support each person's individual goals. Having someone with you to validate your feelings while you navigate change can be a powerful experience and I would be honored to be that person for you. The right therapeutic fit can make all of the difference so give me a call or send a message and we can find a time to talk about if we might be a good fit.

My approach is integrative, intersectional, developmental, and contextual with a basic belief in the value of connection and the power of possibility. My work pulls from principles of Intersectionality and Liberation Practices, Attachment and Relational Science, Differentiation as a Developmental process in relationships, Contextual and Systems Theories, and the essential journey of Trauma Integration across the lifespan. I understand that we are heavily shaped by our relationships, family experiences, and positionality in the social world with regard to race, culture, gender identity, sexuality, etc. My practice is relationship and sexual intimacy focused, and I've deepened my lens to include Level 1 & 2 training in the Gottman Method; Advanced training in the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy, in addition to past experience with PACT & Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. I only work with couples or relationship structures at this time and I offer in person; telehealth; and a hybrid option. I also offer mini intensives (4 hour sessions), which compress the therapeutic work into a shorter period, offering a powerful and potentially transformative approach for clients seeking to revitalize their relationships, providing a focused and immersive environment for rapid change and deeper understanding. Because I see relationship clients from all across PA and DE, the mini intensive option works well for clients who really want an in person therapy experience, but can't make a weekly or even biweekly commute fit into their schedule.

Holtz and Powell Marriage and Family Services LLC is a private and affordable fee for service therapy practice that specializes in problems in the family and couple. We work with children, adolescents, and adults of all ages, ethnicity, sexual orientations and religious backgrounds with no judgement and acceptance. We are an LGBT friendly practice. We are licensed in PA and DE Marriage and Family Therapy differs from traditional Individual Therapy in that all affected parties are included in therapy. Including all parties helps enhance the quality of relationships and create positive lasting changes in how individuals interact with one another. We do also work individually with clients from a relational perspective.

Much of human suffering is about the way we experience things rather than the things themselves. Sometimes psychotherapy is about changing some events in our lives, but often it is about changing the experience rather than changing the things. Because all of the elements we need to achieve health and happiness are already within. and whether we change events or change the way we experience them, psychotherapy is always an act of courage.

Where ever you are in your process with therapy, I am happy to meet you where you are at. If you are feeling down with low energy and motivation, or racing thoughts with difficulty sleeping or communicating, or even trying to work through a past that you can't seem to shake, we can work together to build skills, reframe your perspective, and heal unhelpful beliefs and patterns. I use an authentic approach and will challenge you to take steps to create the changes you are hoping for.

Welcome! You’ve taken a wonderful first step in getting the support you or a loved one may need! Life can be complex and challenging, especially for children, teens, young adults, and individuals with chronic illnesses or developmental, behavioral, and intellectual challenges. If this resonates with you or someone you care about, or if you’re seeking behavioral or mental health support for yourself or a minor in your care, I am here to help. As a therapist, my goal is to create a warm, judgment-free space that empowers clients to explore their thoughts and feelings, work towards mutually established goals, and build skills. During sessions, I encourage clients to be themselves and do what they need to feel present. If you want to color, sit on the floor, wear comfortable clothes, play a game, or use a fidget toy, feel free to do so! I strive to use inclusive, neurodivergent, sensory-friendly, and developmentally appropriate techniques and treatments tailored to each client.

No matter why you are seeking therapy, I believe everyone is capable of growth and change. If you are looking to be a better version of yourself, we can take that journey together. I specialize in helping clients struggling with anxiety, depression, borderline personality issues, or past trauma. My style is warm, affirming, and solution-focused. During your first session, we will discuss what brought you to therapy and your expectations and goals. We will then work together to form a roadmap to meet those goals. I utilize a collaborative approach that integrates evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) with a person-centered orientation. These techniques will help challenge your existing beliefs in a safe and supportive space and will help you to learn strategies to live your best life. Starting therapy can be hard and takes a lot of courage. If you are interested in taking that step and think we could work well together, please reach out to me by phone or email to schedule an appointment or book directly with the link on my website. I also offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to help you decide if working together is right for you.
