Hi! My name is Crystal and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with more than 20 years of experience in the psychological realm. I feel that, if a person trusts me with painful information, it is a gift of trust. I am person-centered and empathic in my practice and I love to watch growth in a person's mental health, thus their improved quality of life.
I meet the client where they are and build a strong rapport which is crucial to effectively facilitate techniques from a variety of theoretical approaches that are suited to unique needs and contexts of the client. My most used theoretical approaches include a blend of techniques and aspects of many facets. I emphasize ACT and choose effective techniques to fit each person's unique experience. I typically begin with mindfulness and distress tolerance of DBT and then identify whether the client would benefit primarily from CBT, REBT, or CPT (or a combination thereof).
