Frequently rebooked
I am a seasoned therapists who places significant amount of importance on developing a therapeutic relationship. My skillset includes a whole person approach that covers both physical and emotional well-being. I utilize primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Mindfulness. In addition, I utilize my certification in Health Coaching to ensure physical aspects are addressed that may be impacted your mental health. I have never narrowed my practice to a specific diagnosis; however I do find that I work a lot with Depression, Anxiety, Relationships, Co-Dependency, and Weight Related Diagnoses.
Our first session involves collecting information to get a better sense of the presenting issues and you past and present coping tools. I will share my therapeutic style, answer any questions and we will discuss your goals for therapy.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as Acceptance and Mindfulness utilize questions, exercises, and practices to help you explore, understand, process and redefine your unique beliefs, thoughts, distortions, fears and values.
I believe that my varied of life experiences - professionally and personally have allowed me to be able to connect with others with more compassion and empathy. I value your time and mine time and want to utilize our time to be the most beneficial for you.
I aim to meet client where they are at emotionally and work together to improve your overall quality of life.

I found Crystal very direct in our conversation, be it the very first session. Her understanding and interest in helping me learn, understand, and correct my issues was very reassuring. I feel this decision was a very good one for me.

I came to Crystal Griffin over one year ago because of Binge Eating Disorder. Her direct approach and warm personality won me over quickly, and I followed her advice and journaling suggestions. I no longer am identified as active BED. Crystal has a holistic approach and her methods are empowering. Her sense of humor keeps even difficult issues manageable. She is always keen on identifying potential problems and offering solutions. She treats me with respect and is open-minded.
