Alice Curitz

Hi, I'm Alice (she/her).

* Please note, my caseload is full and I am not currently accepting new therapy clients . If you are a clinician seeking consultation or business coaching, please email me to schedule a discovery call.*

I'm the Founder and Clinical Director of Our Landing Place. I specialize in relationship therapy and sex therapy.

Our intimate and closest relationships can shape the way we experience the world around us. When our relationships feel safe and secure, we often feel like we can tackle whatever life throws at us. Conversely, when our relationships feel unsteady, unfulfilled, or up-in-the-air, not only can that feeling become all-consuming, but we can also feel less able to navigate life’s ups and downs.

Whether you’re looking to reignite passion, rekindle safety and love, restructure your relationship, or uncouple in a meaningful way, I’ll work with you to co-create a relationship that serves who you are now and what you desire for today and the future.

I grew up in England but have travelled and lived all over the world. I moved to Canada in my early twenties and have lived in Ontario, British Columbia and Prince Edward Island. My wife and I love exploring Canada's beauty by hiking with our dog and going on road trips whenever possible. We’re avid travellers, with a long list of places across the globe that we hope to explore. In my downtime, you'll find me in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes, sipping hot chocolate while snuggled up with a good book, playing music, gardening and spending time with loved ones.

I am grateful to live, work and play on unceded traditional Abegweit of the Mi’kmaq people. I work with clients across the parts of Great Turtle Island known as Canada and use she/her pronouns. I continuously work on my allyship by listening to and learning from folks with lived experiences different than my own, actively engaging in communities, and ongoing self-reflection.

I approach therapy through an integrative, intersectional, anti-oppressive, anti-racist, trauma-informed, feminist and attachment-based lens. I tailor each session to your unique needs, not just in terms of who you are as a human, but also to meet you where you are in every session and interaction that we have. I believe that connection is what helps us to heal and grow. My practice is based on building an authentic connection with you in order to help you become empowered to reach your goals.
