Curiositas is simply the Latin root for “curiosity.” We believe curiosity is the foundation of meaningful therapy and the heart of emotional health.

As children, many of us were naturally curious; we wanted to explore the world and experiment with our place in it. Yet often, as adults, we default to a rigid, self-critical perspective on our own experience: “I should not feel this way” or “I should be better at this.” Our philosophy is that we can return to our roots in healthy curiosity—that we can learn why we respond to the world in the ways we do, test new ways of relating, and make meaningful changes in our lives as result. When we embrace our innate curiosity, our paths ahead become more interesting and profound.
