I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Oklahoma. I reside in the beautiful Tahlequah, Oklahoma. I earned my Bachelors and Masters degrees from Northeastern State University and have a deep love for being on campus. Something about the learning atmosphere speaks to my heart. I grew up riding horses and being outside until the street lights came on. I personally feel that being outside is essential to our well-being along with staying physically active. Thus, I strive for a holistic approach in my therapy sessions in order to encompass and improve your emotional, mental, and physical states.
Professionally, I have been working in the mental health and substance abuse field for 5 years helping both children and adults. I am most effective with anxiety (excessive worry, tension, feeling overwhelmed), depression (uncontrollable sadness, feelings of worthlessness), and trauma disorders (abuse, witnessed or experienced real or threatened death, natural disasters). I have attended national conferences and continue my education with advanced trainings throughout the year. I am specifically trained in Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS), Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD (CPT), Seeking Safety, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy for fast resolutions to your problems. I am also a trained Forensic Examiner by the Oklahoma Forensic Center.
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, Relationship issues, Intimacy-related issues, Eating disorders, Anger management, Bipolar disorder

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Krystal Vasquez. 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.
Krystal has been amazing. I haven't had her for very long, but in the short time we've spoken, she's been nothing but understanding and an incredible listener. She's help me pinpoint some areas I thought were annoying and has showed me that they are in fact good and okay! 10/10 would recommend.
