Hi! my name is Krystal Fermin and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Rhode Island. I am a Latina therapist who is committed to working with adolescents and adults to meet their goals and create lives that feel safe and fulfilled. I have worked with individuals of many ages, races, sexualities, and with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family issues, etc,. As a therapist of Dominican background, I take pride in understanding how systemic oppression has influenced the way we view ourselves & how that translates to relationships/life circumstance.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will make sure to work with you in order to meet your unique and specific needs. I strive to provide a safe space for you as we work to help you determine your own path towards finding success. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, LGBT, Trauma and abuse, Depression, Coping with life changes, Attachment issues, Family Problems, HIV / AIDS, Isolation / loneliness, Self-Harm, Self-love, Women's issues
