Hi! I'm Crystal, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) both in South Carolina and Georgia with 8 years of experience within clinical therapy. I own a private practice that focuses on perinatal related issues such as grief and loss, fertility challenges, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders both in the pregnancy and postpartum period, and typical adjustments to motherhood/ parenthood.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

After a free consultation to ensure we're a good fit for each other, in our first session, we'll focus on establishing goals for therapy. Additionally, we'll go over paperwork to gain clarity of what's bringing you to therapy and establish understanding of past history. Through building rapport, we'll get a good idea of how fluid this client therapist working relationship will be.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Having worked with moms and parents for so long, I've strengthened skills in providing empathy, highlighting clients capacity to practice self compassion and the art of holding space for all things in non judgmental ways.

My treatment methods

Attachment-based

Attachment based therapy has brought so many clients tools to manage both relationships and provided them with understanding of how they exist within relationships because of previous experiences, often traumatic.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT has allowed for the management of reoccurring negative and irrational thoughts. This therapy allows for clients to not only recognize the thoughts they're having that may be contributing to their mood and behavior but also useful tools to engage with those thoughts so they become more rational.

EMDR

Using EMDR has been transformative within therapy for clients who've experienced trauma. It allows them to gain insight into past experiences that are hindering their ability to move forward without distress and instead helps to reprocess so the memories / experiences are met with more adaptive coping skills.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

Using ACT within my practice allows for clients to acknowledge and accept issues present without judgement. This has been helpful within spaces where difficult emotions and possibly irrational judgements with the issue have been formed, ACT allows one to lean in and engage.
