About me

Hello and welcome to my page!

All of us as therapists have lots of letters after our name, mine are LPC, NCC. You may wonder what it all means. Mine means that I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who is also nationally certified. Meaning I can move more easily from my home state of Michigan if I choose to having met the requirements for almost every state in the US rather than just Michigan's requirements. I have been doing one on one counseling as well as family counseling for approximately 6 years now. I began my career working at a partial hospitalization program running group meetings for clients who were in crisis. I love it all, I love helping people figure out their issues or just how to help you best to improve your lives overall.

I was a double major at Michigan State University in Psychology and Criminal Justice. I have a Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University and have completed almost all of the course work towards my PhD. I attend many seminars throughout the year in order to learn new methods, keep up to date on current research and medications as well as to meet new people and get fresh perspectives.

I don't have one particular treatment approach that I exclusively use. I have found that each person is different and I need to be able to change and adapt to them. I do have favorites however and those are Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) and Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). I like CBT because it helps identify negative or faulty thinking and helps you see things more clearly in order to respond to them in a healthier way. I like SFBT because it focuses on solutions. You tell me what goal you want to reach and we work together to get you there.

If you're ready to start, then I am too!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Crystal Pasciak. 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 recommended both this app and my therapist to several people since I started using this app and love that I can message when I am having an issue and not have to wait weeks and hope I don't forget to mention an issue I'm dealing with with everything else that's happens in life after that moment, and having multiple way to converse is nice for however you feel comfortable

She spoke with me & my husband about our major issues and we felt that she was connected to us equally.

Crystal has been an amazing asset with maintaining my mental health. She is considerate and responds in a very prompt manner, depending on the issue I have sometimes spoken with her multiple times a day.
