Roslene Curtis is a licensed associate marriage and family therapist (AMFT #160339) at Renewal Counseling Centers in San Diego. She holds a Master's Degree in Clinical Counseling from Point Loma Nazarene University and specializes in working with women navigating grief, anxiety, identity development, and relationship challenges.
Roslene's approach blends evidence-based therapeutic practices with genuine warmth and compassion. She believes that healing isn't about moving on — it's about finding a way to carry your loss while still moving forward. Whether you're grieving a person, a relationship, a season of life, or a version of yourself, Roslene creates a safe, unhurried space where you can process at your own pace.
She works with individuals, women, couples, and families and sees clients in person in San Diego and via telehealth throughout California.
Online Workshop:
Boundaries Women Were Never Taught
Most women were never given permission to have boundaries, let alone taught how to set them. This pre-recorded workshop with Roslene walks you through the foundations of healthy boundaries, why they matter for your healing, and exactly how to start building them in your relationships and your life.
Available instantly. Work through it at your own pace, on your own time.

You Don't Have to Grieve Alone
Join the Waitlist for Our Women's Grief Group
There is something uniquely powerful about grieving in community. Hearing another woman say "me too" and knowing she truly means it can be one of the most healing experiences in the grief journey.
Roslene is forming a small, intimate online grief group specifically for women. This is a safe, confidential space where you can process your loss, find your voice, and be witnessed by others who understand what you're carrying.
The group will be:
-
Small and intimate - limited spots to ensure every voice is heard
-
Led by Roslene Curtis, AMFT
-
Held virtually via secure video you may join from anywhere in California
-
Focused on processing grief, building resilience, and finding community
Roslene will personally reach out to everyone who expresses interest.
