About Me
Ieeia Currie, LMSW-C, LCSW, LISW-CP
I believe each person has their own unique perspectives and challenges. You have everything you need within you to achieve your goals and heal. I’m willing to work with you as you work through life’s challenges. We will use a variety of techniques called modalities because I believe in treating you like the individual you are.
I specialize in trauma and interpersonal violence, although I will work with various experiences. I am a certified Christian Counselor, EMDR (use of bilateral stimulation; eye movements, tones or rhythm, to help with the brain processing memories), TF-CBT (trauma focused skills that look at ways of thinking, processing and reshaping unhealthy/unhelpful thoughts, usually due to experiencing or witnessing traumatic events), and DBT (structured skills that aids in focusing on and restructuring unhelpful thoughts and behaviors) certified and IFS (skills that focus on internal self to aid in processing trauma and experiences) trained. Through a synchronous video/audio platform, we work from the comfort of your private space to develop and strengthen life, coping, communication and relationship skills.
My career started as a Psychiatric Social Worker in the only women’s prison in Michigan. I learned to manage difficult experiences in ways that help others find their inner strength and path to healing. My experience as a School Social Worker helped develop empathy, curiosity and understanding of the importance of truly meeting each person where they are; and giving the time needed to contemplate, prepare for and initiate change.
As a social worker, my job is not to give you advice. I try my best to remain true to this model. You know your life and surroundings best. My goal and job is to assist you in developing skills that give you the independence and confidence to make choices that positively impact your mental, spiritual, emotional and physical being.
