Curt Thompson

Dr. Curt Thompson is a psychiatrist in private practice in Falls Church, Virginia, who bridges the intersection of neuroscience, theology, and spiritual formation in innovative ways. Raised in an evangelical Quaker community in Ohio, Thompson has built his career on exploring how interpersonal neurobiology (IPNB) connects with Christian anthropology, helping individuals understand their deep need to be known and to know God at the neural level.

Through the Being Known Podcast (co-hosted with Pepper Sweeney), his writing, speaking, and his therapeutic work, Thompson has become an influential voice helping evangelicals integrate modern neuroscience with Christian spiritual practices. His approach emphasizes how meaningful relationships and spiritual formation actually rewire our brains toward wholeness, offering evangelicals a compelling framework for understanding human psychology and healing through the lens of the gospel.
