About Keri Kurtz

Hi there! I’m glad you’re here. 😊

I’m a Certified Trauma Professional (CTP), trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), with training in Spiritual Counseling Competency in Mental Health. Since beginning my journey in behavioral health in 2020, I’ve been passionate about helping people better understand themselves, navigate life’s challenges, and create meaningful change.

I hold a BS in Health Sciences with a minor in Nutrition from the University of South Florida (USF) and an MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Florida (UNF). My experience includes working in outpatient and intensive outpatient (IOP) settings, volunteering on a crisis hotline, and supporting adolescents as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT).

I specialize in supporting individuals navigating trauma, PTSD, abuse, anxiety, depression, chronic pain and illness, eating issues, neurodivergence, life transitions, communication challenges, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.

Maybe you’ve been carrying something heavy for a long time. Perhaps anxiety feels constant, past experiences continue to show up through flashbacks or nightmares, or you find yourself repeating the same patterns in relationships. Maybe you’re exploring your identity, struggling to communicate your needs, or feeling disconnected from yourself. You might even know you want something to change but feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or afraid of what that change might look like.

My approach is collaborative, person-centered, and grounded in understanding how our experiences, relationships, and environments shape who we are. I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space where we can explore what you’re experiencing, recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and build on the strengths you already have. Together, we can work toward greater self-awareness, emotional healing, and meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.

I work with both adolescents and adults, with a primary clinical focus on adults. I am committed to providing affirming, inclusive care for people of all backgrounds.

Outside the office, I enjoy baking, watching horror movies, and cuddling with my two cats!
