Shawn Curtis, PsyD is officially booking in-office appointments at our Burlington location Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM.
Telehealth appointments are also available, offering flexibility and convenience.
Shawn Curtis, PsyD, is a licensed clinical psychologist in Connecticut. He earned his Doctor of Psychology degree from Wright State University in 2018 and has received broad training across outpatient, inpatient, forensic, and community mental health settings. His background as a generalist allows him to work with a wide range of concerns, while his additional training in psychological testing and forensic evaluation adds depth, clarity, and precision to his clinical work.
Dr. Curtis works with adults ages 18 and older, offering both in-person sessions at the Burlington office and telehealth appointments. He is currently accepting Aetna, HUSKY (CT Medicaid), Optum, UMR, UnitedHealthcare, and private-pay clients. Anthem and Cigna are pending.
In therapy, Dr. Curtis takes a collaborative, person-centered approach that emphasizes emotional safety, understanding, and meaningful change. His work is informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness practices, Gestalt principles, and supportive talk therapy. Rather than relying on a single framework, he integrates these approaches thoughtfully to meet each client where they are.
Dr. Curtis is especially passionate about working with individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, grief, and the long-term impact of trauma, particularly relational trauma. Many clients come to therapy feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how they arrived at their current circumstances. He helps clients slow down, feel genuinely understood, rebuild trust in themselves and others, and develop greater clarity about their needs, values, and next steps.
In addition to psychotherapy, Dr. Curtis provides psychological testing and forensic evaluation services, as well as treatment for individuals involved in or impacted by legal or forensic systems when clinically appropriate.
His work emphasizes careful role boundaries, ethical practice, and coordination with relevant systems as needed. Across all aspects of his work, his goal is to help people reconnect with their sense of self and move forward with greater resilience, confidence, and meaning.
