LPC, 10 years of experience
My name is Crystal Gee, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I have worked in the Human Service field for over 20 years with the past 10 years working in Mental Health. I am well-versed in treating clients that suffer from trauma, depression, anxiety, behavioral disruption, grief, anger management, mood disorders, and suicidal ideations. I focus on increasing effective solutions by increasing problem-solving skills, communication skills, social skills, self-esteem and emotional identification.
In the first session clients can expect a therapeutic environment that is welcoming, safe and compassionate.
I believe that my strength is in providing clients with a safe and relatable space to help improve skills. I enjoy teaching new skills while strengthening healthy coping skills that clients already have. My population of focus is adults, survivors of abuse, people of color, grief/loss, emotional identification, behavioral activation and increasing healthy communication/social skills.
