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, the National Neurotrauma Society and the Brain Injury Alliance of Colorado. She has presented on this topic at national and international conferences. In 2024, her clinical research in this area was published in the Journal of Head Injury Rehabilitation and in the Journal of Neurotrauma.
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 >60 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 60 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 was a key lobbyist for HB 23 -1071, Prescriptive Authority for Psychologists, which overwhelmingly passed the House/Senate and was officially signed into Colorado law on March 3, 2023. This law allows for specifically trained psychologists to prescribe pharmacotherapy to mental health patients as RxP clinicians. Her post-doc academic training has been geared toward this important professional goal.
Dr. Kurth served a 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. In this role, she collaborated with others on projects geared to improve diverse delivery of mental health services throughout the burgeoning Larimer County community. She 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.
PERSONAL BACKGROUND / INTERESTS: Dr. Kurth is an accomplished nature photographer, watercolor and batik artist. 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. She is also a published author (research, poetry) who enjoys writing children's books and southern short stories. As a coloratura soprano, Dr. Kurth sings (mostly in choir). She is an avid gardener and gourmet cook. She considers herself a naturalist who enjoys exploring the wilderness of Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and southern Canada, which inspires her artwork and creative writing.
Originally from Central Louisiana, Dr. Kurth is of Choctaw Native American ancestry; these core Native American principles underlie her integrated approach to psychotherapy and have inspired her interest in integrative medicine. While her southern roots are solid, she considers the Rocky Mountains of Colorado to be her true home. She cannot imagine ever leaving the mountains...at least not for very long!
