Welcome to my profile page. Whatever you are facing, you have exhibited bravery by taking this step. Try out some counselors, like you are shopping for something important - because you ARE. There are many kinds of counselors. I'm the kind who listens and laughs and will challenge you (with your permission). If you aren't prepared for a little challenge to your thinking, you aren't engaged in our counseling process. Paying for someone to say you're right 100% of the time may feel good in the moment, but there is no growth in the comfort zone and no comfort in the growth zone.
Here's a little about me: I received a Ph.D. in Counseling in 2001 and am licensed as a professional counselor. I teach also and work with lots of issues and age groups. Helping people develop is my passion.
First, you will identify what you think is your core issue and goal. For some, it stems from confidence issues, anxiety, fear of failure, difficulties communicating in personal or professional relationships, or dealing with conflict. I have worked with people on how to get unstuck in lots of ways.
Despite my background in Crisis, this platform and my association with it, is not appropriate for emergencies regarding a desire to harm self or others or in cases of psychosis that require formal evaluations in an Emergency Room. It is my ethical and professional responsibility to refer clients to appropriate resources (911) in their locality in these instances. Otherwise, we can get to work.
My goal is to assist you as you grow the skills and insight to move forward and see results. There will be work involved, new ways of thinking, new behaviors and maybe, new decisions. When and if you are ready for this, I hope you will reach out.
Additional areas of focus:Stress, Anxiety, LGBT, Trauma and abuse, Intimacy-related issues, Anger management, Self esteem, Career difficulties, Depression, Coping with life changes, Caregiver issues and stress, Commitment Issues, Communication problems, Control issues, Dependent Personality, Divorce and separation, Drug and Alcohol Addiction, Family of Origin Issues, Family Problems, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Self-love, Sexuality, Women's issues, Workplace issues, Young Adult Issues
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Abrina Schnurman-Crook. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I have been seeing Dr. Schnurman-Crook for months, and she has helped me tremendously. I was detailed in my ‘about me’ matching summary, what was going wrong, what personality & approach works/doesn’t work for me (having tried another therapist not on this site)….and hoped for a lifeline. I was matched to the perfect fit, day one. I feel heard, she pushes within a very safe space, and I cannot thank her enough for helping me crawl out of a bad place. I have made hard decisions with her support and reality orienting, now making small strides (pace my doing) towards finding my ‘better’, and potential as my true self. Thank you

Dr. Schnurman-Crook has been wonderful. She has helped learn the basics of what therapy even is, and she has challenged me when I needed it and in the ways that I needed it. She is not above asking difficult questions, but she always does it in a way that makes me feel safe and able to be honest.

I feel like my therapist could read me like a book and actually knew how to help me. I had four therapist before her and she’s the one I’ll stick with because she knows how to guide me and actively listens. I feel like I’m finally being seen and understood.

Dr Schnurman is an excellent therapist. I would highly recommend her. She is kind and wise. We have talked about many different things - divorce, raising preteen girls, co-parenting, faith, sexuality, LGBTQ issues, moving house, business decisions, ADHD. She helps me in every area of my life. She is encouraging and yet challenges me to make changes or to see things from a different perspective. She has definitely made a positive impact on my life.
