Crysta Dunkerly
I have 25 years experience working with all different populations. The learning/ change process doesn't have to be complicated/ unpleasant. "Not sure what to do"? "Need someone to talk to"? Who doesn't? An objective unbiased outside view on anything can be helpful for anyone/ any situation- am I right? Your comfort comes first!
We can use humor, any kind of language normal to you, while you're sitting anywhere you feel comfy!
I have the skills, experience, and tools to help you with whatever you need or help you figure out what it is you even need.
First session
Very laid back and casual. We can get to know each other or dive right in. I'm pretty specialized in making the process easier than you probably ever guessed it could be. People typically leave feeling good, we don't have to talk about anything you don't want to, and I'm big on suggesting things 'you can't really go wrong with' ! It will all make more sense once you start.
Strengths
My greatest strength hands down is relatability... Which IS actually the biggest predictor of success in therapy- the relationship with the therapist. We can use humor, any kind of language normal to you, while you're sitting anywhere you feel comfy! Grab a snack, we can even speak in song lyrics or memes if you need.
Ideal clients
I am authentic and transparent so that you can feel comfortable doing the same! We can't get anywhere if you don't want to talk so comfort is 1st priority. It rarely takes clients more than a few minutes to feel at ease :)
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I can guide you through practical, simple, logical and authentic ways to interact with your own inner dialogue! Most common issues in therapy are "thinking things" and if we're not controlling our mind what is? You CAN be at peace with your own mind :)
Christian Counseling
Spirituality is a phenomenal tool available to all ! Let's dig into these foundations to find the peace, hope, and love you deserve
Couples Counseling
I have extensive experience with couple's and families even friend groups and bands! I can help anyone understand - the physiology of conflict - Love AND apology languages - How to communicate -How to not only forgive but understand - Maybe even how to set boundaries and/ or leave
