About me

Hello, I’m Crystal, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 13 years of experience in the mental health field. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Georgia. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Therapy. My professional focus is on supporting women, teenagers, and young adults as they navigate life’s complexities. With a deep rooted passion for understanding the intricacies of the human mind, I am committed to walking alongside you on your journey toward healing and personal growth.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our initial session, we will begin with brief introductions before addressing the specific challenges you are currently facing. This process will enable me to develop a personalized, strategic plan to guide or work towards achieving your goals. I firmly believe that therapy is a collaborative endeavor, where you will feel safe, understood, and empowered to foster personal growth and healing.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am very compassionate, patient, and non-judgmental. These qualities help create a supportive environment where my clients feel safe, respected, and empowered.

Talking to Crystal is like talking to one of girl friends. Except she is the friend that asks the hard questions to make you think. She is so kind and patient
