WELCOME TO BRIDGES THERAPY
&
ORGANIZATIONAL CONSULTING
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.
Supportive Housing Consulting & Program Development
Drawing on years of hands-on leadership at Goodness Village in Livermore, CA, and a deep-dive doctoral research project uncovering what truly drives success in supportive housing programs nationwide, I help nonprofit housing developers, city agencies, and organizations turn bold ideas into thriving, trauma-informed communities. I specialize in sharpening program models and budgets for real-world impact, advising on low-barrier housing solutions that meet people exactly where they are, and building values-driven teams (because you can’t teach compassion, but you can cultivate it). Whether you’re launching your first supportive community or leveling up an existing program, I bring practical, research-backed guidance to help you build resilient, person-centered housing that drives equity, demands dignity, and delivers what our communities actually need.

About Kim Curtis, DHS, 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 with a Doctorate in Human Services, 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.
My doctoral research focused on permanent supportive housing for individuals with complex needs, bridging academic rigor with real-world experience to build 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.
