I am a therapist with over 30 years of experience helping others achieve improved mental health. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and geriatric clients in a variety of settings. I obtained a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Criminal Justice, as well a a Master's of Education degree in Counseling and Guidance from the University of Montevallo, in Montevallo, Alabama. l later completed my Doctor of Education degree at Nova Southeastern University in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
I believe in not giving up on clients, and equally important, not allowing clients to give up on themselves. I utilize motivational interviewing to identity and enhance the strength of my client while exploring ways in which those strengths can move my client toward improved health and happiness.
I am very excited about the prospect of working with you and hope to hear from you soon~

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Carol R Crowson. 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.
Dr. Crowson is fantastic. I have worked with her for over two years. She has always been very responsive when I’ve reached out - even on nights and weekends. She is consistent and accommodating, working to schedule me in or change our meeting style if needed. This is the longest relationship I’ve had with a therapist and I’m thankful that BetterHelp put us together.

Dr. Crowson is the first therapist that I have ever seen and she has been fantastic. She is a great listener and offers meaningful insight. She asks questions that help to look at the situation differently and consider other view points.
