Dr. Curtis Taylor
Founder & Lead Counselor
People still need a place to feel safe, seen, and supported. Authentic Wellness & Empowerment was built for that.
​
With licenses in Pennsylvania and Ohio and a PhD in Counselor Education, I support individuals, couples, teens, and families through the hard stuff—anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, identity challenges, and emotional burnout.
​
My style is grounded and relational. I believe you’re already good enough—and you still deserve better—better peace, better connection, and better days ahead.
This isn’t just my profession—it’s my purpose.
And it’s an honor to do this work with you.
Empowered Stories
"I didn’t know what to expect with EMDR, but it changed everything. Curtis helped me feel safe facing things I’d buried for years. Session by session, I felt lighter—more like myself again. I’m not just surviving anymore. I’m living."
