Hello, my name is Crystal. Are you depressed? Have anxiety? But you don’t know the root cause? I provide a safe and therapeutic environment and will guide you on your journey to understanding your feelings, thoughts, actions and relationships and how to grow. For the past 13 years, I have counseled individuals from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. We will explore together how to help you move forward. You may feel as though you don’t have the time due to career, family, your partner and many other aspects of your life. Finding time to heal will equip you with the tools to improve yourself and your relationships. This is about making your life better.

Finally, Strength Based Therapy helps to improve your mindset by focusing on the positive attributes, resources, and resilience you have rather than the negative ones.

First session

Rome wasn’t built in a day and the same is true of the therapeutic value of healing. You may have tried to figure things out on your own and been unable to do so. In your sessions, you may discover new things about yourself. It may not be easy. There may be painful memories. It’s okay. Don’t be hard on yourself. You will be heard and seen. You can expect openness and honesty from me and I will expect the same of you. You will be expected to be an active participant in the healing process. Your takeaway from sessions will be learning skills to live life the way you want and need. Ultimately, the session is about you being able to explore your challenges and how to help you better cope with life challenges. Are you ready?

Strengths

My biggest strengths include being able to meet you where you are, listening, and providing empathy.

Ideal clients

I love working with adults and have a passion for helping women, who may be experiencing an unbalance in life, due to career, family, or other aspects. They may feel stuck and want to change, but unsure how. I am able to meet you where you are, to assist in identifying the root cause and identify ways to move forward.

So far in my last two sessions I’ve been able to just express a lot of my hurt and Ms. Adams is genuinely very patient. She offers advice of some things I can try to help with some things and overall I feel comfortable with her, it takes a lot for me normally to share things, but with her it seems a bit easier. Thank you for all you do Ms.Adams, you probably don’t hear it enough but you and your work matters as well.

I enjoyed my sessions with Crystal. She was warm and empathetic. We both realized I needed a more specialized treatment plan. I recommend Crystal.

Mrs Crystal has been amazing she is truly sincere and is dedicated to her job wholeheartedly. Has been helping me get through and navigate a tremendous hardship in my life and I appreciate her guidance because it has been getting me through even when I don’t have the energy. She helps me find it by being a listening ear and having a loving heart that comes from a good place.
