Hi there! Thanks for stopping by to check out my page as you search to find the very best fit for yourself on this journey! Let's get to it.
I am a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I am licensed in the state of Kansas and Missouri and work part-time as a Yoga Therapist, RYT 200. I have 12 years of clinical experience and have worked with individuals of all ages facing a multitude of challenges including depression, anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, parenting concerns, gender identity needs, relationship issues, self esteem and overcoming everyday stressors. I enjoy providing education regarding the impacts of childhood trauma and how to use that information to better understand ourselves and how to heal moving forward. I believe the more in-tune we are with ourselves the better equipped we are to make positive and lasting changes in life.
My therapeutic approach is holistic in nature. I believe the most important aspect is meeting clients where they are. You know yourself better than anyone and it is your intention, purpose and goal that matters most in this work. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space allowing people to be themselves while feeling supported and encouraged to create and maintain the life they want. I utilize various therapeutic approaches based on goals of my clients and their individual needs.
If you feel we would work well together I look forward to getting to know you more. If you go a different direction I wish you all the best in your journey!

I gotta say the first appointment using this app and crystals services had me nervous and overwhelmed didnt know what to expect what would happen, thankfully when she called she introduced herself, and explained how the process worked, we talked about other things at first and that really helped calm me down alot and connect with her since it wasnt a LETS GET TO IT, ATTACK ATTACK attitude and that made me feel comfortable and start communicating better with her i told her my situation and she told me a few things we would work on and how they would help me get to where i neede, over all ive had a great experience and felt comfortable talking to her she listens shes, supportive 10/10 experience made me not afraid of therapy.

She is simply the best! Always so helpful and friendly. She puts things in a perspective that I can more easily understand.

She really understands what are short term and long term issues and has different ways of helping me deal with them based on how they are affecting me. I recently found myself being really able to speak without internally holding back. very good therapist.

Crystal has a way of making you feel comfortable and able to be open. She is active in conversations but still takes in everything you say and makes you feel heard and understood. I’ve only had her a short time but she’s given me many useful tools that get me through my day in a much better state of mind and more at peace with what’s going on around me
