Crystal is a fabulous therapist. She takes every concern seriously and doesn’t interrupt or belittle. (I’ve had that issue with past therapists). Also she’s got a good balance of giving advice when needed and just taking time to listen. Sometimes people just need to say what’s on their mind to work through it. Crystal truly understands this and is always willing to hear you out. Definitely recommend.

I look forward to my sessions with Crystal. It is a way to release things that I feel that are important and it’s good to seek advice from someone that doesn’t know me. I’m confident in expressing what I feel and getting valuable insight is helpful and extremely useful right now.

Thank you Crystal

For a first-time therapy seeker, Crystal was exactly the person I needed to talk to. I was wary of finding the right fit for my personality and needs. Crystal really supported and helped me to disentangle the anger and anxiety-inducing strands in my life as I balance a toxic work environment, caregiving, and marriage stresses. Mostly importantly, she guided me in strategizing healthier and practical ways to address these issues.

Crystal is very focused on understanding and meeting my needs, and making the best use of our time. She is very professional, friendly and easy to talk to. I really appreciate that she doesn't try to force unhelpful advice on me, which is a problem I had with a former therapist. She is always on time for our sessions, and replies promptly to my messages. I really appreciate her sense of humor and how down to earth she is!

She was good at listening but I never felt truly challenged or engaged. She missed multiple sessions and just straight up ignored me after the last one. I wish I had switched therapists sooner.

Crystal is extremely empathetic and kind. She knows the perfect amount of personal sharing to engage in with her clients so I feel she knows what I'm feeling and understands me but is always professional. She has always provided a lot of various coping mechanisms and encourages flexibility in how I could tackle issues. She lets me talk around subjects and come to her in my own time without pressure. She is the perfect balance of light hearted and serious that lets me know my issues are being taken seriously but also that what I'm experiencing is part of the human experience. She responds quickly and appropriately depsite our time difference, and always finds something positive to say even when I'm at my lowest.
It's thanks to my therapy with Crystal that I've been able to set healthy bounderies with my family, advocate Mt needs and make better decisions for my mental health.

Crystal Norris has been an excellent therapist and coach. I truly appreciate her helpful suggestions and practical advice to manage my own stress, and for dealing with the added stress of my young adult children (each with their own challenges). I find our sessions calming and walk-away with a positive energy and strength each time to deal with certain issues in my life.

Crystal is an outstanding therapist! I have been in individual and couple's therapy previously so I have a solid understanding of what works and what doesn't work for me. I was hoping for a relationship with a therapist that was more practical in nature (CBT) and I found exactly what I was looking for. In our sessions Crystal was insightful, kind, and funny. I came in with some relationship issues (personal and romantic) and was able to improve those relationships pretty quickly using tips suggested by Crystal. I looked forward to sessions--even texting--with her and hope to work with her again when finances allow.

I have been speaking to Crystal for a few months now, and she has been helping me immensely to work on my anxiety and low self esteem. She is very dedicated to helping, and is calming and understanding to talk to. I once had apprehension about seeking help, but Crystal proved those fears to be wrong.

She has been great so far, but I think I put in answers to questions that were wrong. Where I put in “completely disagree” it should be absolutely the opposite. My experience has been great so far!
