She coaches parents of school-age children regarding advocacy for those children with unique learning styles.

Her reputable work in this area is well established with personal injury attorneys throughout Northern Colorado, Denver and Wyoming communities. Her
therapeutic approach includes Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR therapy and Psychoeducation aimed at promoting and enhancing physical and mental well-being. Her clinical work is focused on helping an injured individual establish realistic goals to recapture one's pre-morbid (e.g. prior to injury or neural insult) levels of functioning. Patient-centered, didactic tutorials are integrated to improve focus, concentration, processing speed, memory skills and ADL's, as well as coping with stressors, adapting and re-adjusting in social, family, academic and into workplace settings.
Dr. Kurth is an active member of the Brain Injury Association of America, the North American Brain Injury Society, the International Paediatric Brain Injury Society and the Brain Injury Alliance of Colorado. In early 2020, she presented her pioneering research on Perinatal Neurotrauma, at the North American Brain Injury Society's 15th Annual Conference on Brain Injury (ABI 2020) in New Orleans. Her work in this area is published in the Journal of Head Injury Rehabilitation.
Health Psychology/Chronic Illness/Infertility/ Post-COVID-19 Conditions: Dr. Kurth provides psychoeducation, specialized behavioral treatment and coping strategies for persons with diverse, chronic physical illnesses. She has a unique appreciation for the extraordinary constellation of COVID-related symptoms which have mysteriously burdened and impacted individuals. She also has broad clinical expertise in treating females with infertility/related gynecological conditions, having extensively researched endometriosis and related gynecological disorders; she has published work on this condition (see CV).
SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH and ACADEMIC ROLES: Dr. Kurth is Assistant Clinical Professor of Pediatrics (Developmental Section) at University of Colorado, School of Medicine (UCSOM). Her research at UCSOM is geared toward expanding her recent, landmark study (Kurth & Haussmann, 2011) which was published in The Journal of Attention Disorders. Her Doctoral Dissertation is entitled: The Relationship Between AD/HD and Perinatal (Oxytocin) Pitocin Induction which can be found online. Her scientific publications (Kurth & Haussmann, 2011; Kurth & Davalos, 2012) can be accessed online or in your academic library. Dr. Kurth's 2011 study realized a strong association (e.g. >67%) between prenatal exposure to synthetic oxytocin (a medical compound routinely utilized to facilitate childbirth) and subsequent onset of ADHD in children with this early exposure. She has collaborated with key researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, JHU Bloomberg School of Public Health and other medical universities across the U.S. in a retrospective, epidemiological study aimed at further examining this association in offspring with this prenatal exposure. Her original study has been cited in >50 reputable peer reviewed journals, and is available online at ResearchGate. A video summary of her research can be accessed at the video link in the NEWS section of this site.
Dr. Kurth previously served a three-year, invited appointment as Affiliate/Associate Psychology Faculty at Colorado State University in pursuit of her ongoing research. Additionally, she participated as a team researcher at UCLA’s Neuropsychiatric Institute in Los Angeles, CA. in studies using behavior therapy and pharmacotherapy in treatment of refractory schizophrenia. She led an innovative clinical study at Ventura County’s Multi-agency Demonstration Project which examined the efficacy of multimodal, multidisciplinary treatment for emotionally disturbed, juvenile offenders within an interagency model, aimed at reducing recidivism among incarcerated youths. Her Master's Thesis documented the remarkable success of this innovative program. She has held positions in several private and governmental agencies as a licensed psychotherapist, case manager and as a clinical group leader in this capacity. Dr. Kurth's Master's Thesis is entitled: Predictors of Success in the Treatment of Mentally Disordered Juvenile Offenders: An Interagency Residential Model, and can be found in the California Lutheran University Library.
FUTURE RESEARCH: Dr. Kurth and core faculty from UCSOM and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine recently completed a large epidemiological project aimed at expanding her 2011 study. Her collaborative research team hopes to eventually disentangle the underlying signature mechanisms(s) in this observed association. Specifically, this team aims to determine if an association can be definitively identified between these factors in a larger scale population, in an effort to better understand specifically how early environmental exposures, as combined with prenatal, labor and delivery complications, may confer risk to child neurodevelopmental and/or neurocognitive outcomes such as ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It is speculated these type disorders may originate from complex, overlapping and/or interacting factors which involve maternal BMI (obesity) and possibly prenatal exposures such as those introduced during maternal labor and delivery which may perturb the fetal brain. Her recently completed study is currently under journal review.
SCHOLARLY PUBLICATIONS: Dr. Kurth has authored and co-authored numerous clinical, peer-reviewed publications with over 50 citations. Topics include: (1) The correlation between prenatal exposure to synthetic oxytocin and risk of ADHD; (2) Diverse topics in Traumatic Brain Injury; (3) Alternative therapies in women’s gynecological health issues; (4) Multi-modal therapies as a tool for reduction of recidivism in emotionally disturbed juvenile offenders; and (5) Behavioral /pharmacological approaches in treatment refractory schizophrenic patients with chronic polydipsia. See her CURRICULUM VITAE and PubMed for these research abstracts/ and cited journal articles.
COMMUNITY SERVICE ROLE: Dr. Kurth is completing her 3 year appointment by the Larimer County Board of Commissioners as an At-Large Behavioral Health Policy Council (BHPC) Member, a position of honor and service privilege within Larimer County. This BHPC role has provided Dr. Kurth opportunities to collaborate with others on projects geared to improve diverse delivery of mental health services throughout the burgeoning Larimer County community. Dr. Kurth spearheaded a BHS granted-funded, pilot Coffee-Cart Check-in Program (AKA Cat-Chat) at Estes Park High School, aimed at implementing peer-to-peer connectivity as a preventative approach to students experiencing stress and high risk situations for teen suicide. This project is still ongoing.

Her artwork has been displayed in art galleries in southern CA., north GA., in Denver, Steamboat Springs and in Estes Park, CO. and in the photography video gallery loop displayed at ABTC.
