I’m a therapist who values curiosity, collaboration, and meeting you where you are. I’ve had the honor of working in this field for over 10 years, and I’m still deeply passionate about the work I do. My approach is grounded in showing up as a human sitting with another human. I prioritize getting to know you as the complex individual you are and building a strong, trusting, therapeutic relationship above everything else.
Therapy won’t make you perfect or more worthy, but that’s not the goal. When you feel lost, overwhelmed, or alone in your experience, I’ll sit with you in that space. With compassion and honesty, I’ll support you in understanding yourself more deeply and figuring out what you want out of your life and how to move toward it.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) providing individual and couples therapy for adults who want to better understand themselves and their relationships. My work is rooted in the belief that lasting change begins with awareness—of our thoughts, emotional patterns, and the ways we relate to ourselves and others.
I work with individuals who struggle with self-criticism, doubt, emotional disconnection, and a persistent sense that they are never doing “enough.” Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel internally overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from their sense of worth. Through therapy, they learn to recognize unhelpful patterns of self-talk, develop greater emotional clarity, and build a more compassionate and grounded relationship with themselves.
I also work with couples who feel caught in cycles of conflict, distance, or misunderstanding. Rather than focusing only on the content of arguments, I help couples understand the emotional dynamics and attachment patterns driving their interactions. By reducing judgment and increasing awareness, partners are able to communicate more effectively, rebuild trust, and reconnect in more meaningful ways.
My approach is collaborative, insight-oriented, and client-centered. I integrate elements of cognitive-behavioral and attachment-based work to help clients understand the “why” behind their reactions and practice new ways of responding. Therapy with me is not about quick fixes or assigning blame, but about creating space for clarity, understanding, and intentional change.
Clients often report feeling calmer, more self-aware, and better equipped to navigate relationships and life challenges. My goal is to help people feel more grounded in themselves, more connected in their relationships, and more confident moving forward.

I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable. Because of that, I place a strong emphasis on building a genuine, trusting relationship from the start—one where you feel supported, understood, and able to be honest about what you’re going through.
My approach is both relational and goal-oriented. I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), which means we won’t just talk about what’s wrong—we’ll also focus on what matters to you and how to move toward it in practical, meaningful ways.

I tailor therapy to each person, recognizing that no two paths forward look the same.

I am a License Mental Health Counselor in New York and Florida that works with marital counseling clients and those experiencing relationship issues and who are struggling with their sense of self confidence.

I specialize in counseling women and men on self-esteem, worth & actualization. I also support clients affected by bullying, narcissistic abuse as well as those dealing with complicated grief. As your therapist, I will assist you in discovering or uncovering yourself. This might mean realizing some difficult truths about your personality and behavior patterns, tapping into your strengths, and identifying what coping skills work for you. Or, it might mean working through emotional pain, trauma, or barriers that prevent you from being your best self. In my years of experience, I have found that once a person’s authentic identity has been discovered through therapy, clients can accept who they are, confidently speak up for themselves and understand themselves with greater perspective. Usually this leads to healthier relationship choices and dynamics. I will help you to learn more about yourself and make realistic changes.

Hello! I’m Crystal a bilingual (English/Spanish) licensed clinical social worker dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, authenticity, and evidence-based care. I believe therapy should be a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change.
I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, life transitions, stress, and behavioral concerns. My background includes outpatient therapy, crisis intervention, hospital settings, and forensic mental health, allowing me to support clients with a wide range of emotional and psychological concerns.
My therapeutic approach is collaborative and individualized. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, strengths-based therapy, and solution-focused techniques to help clients build practical coping skills while addressing the underlying causes of emotional distress.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, struggling with relationships, coping with trauma, or simply looking for a supportive place to grow, my goal is to help you feel empowered, build resilience, and move toward a healthier and more fulfilling life. Together, we’ll create realistic goals and celebrate progress every step of the way.

Hi. I am an experienced Masters Level social worker who returned to train for my LCSW in my late 40's early 50's. Prior to that, I was a 35 year veteran of hospital based, social work and crisis intervention. This combined experience, forged a professional style based upon helping people cope with unspeakable suffering, loss and drastic life changes. This has helped shape how I approach psychotherapy in that I have seen time and time again that no pain is too great to be lessened and that there is always a solution, even small, that can help transform a life into something better. I believe that therapy works best when there is a working combination of insight and action and much of my work will involve helping you identify a next right step in addressing the challenges you face.

What happens during the first therapy session?
What happens during the first therapy session?
Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
