Welcome! I admire you for being brave in seeking help for your situation. My name is Crystal and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Georgia and South Carolina. I have been in this field of work for 8 years with experience working with many different populations. I have a history of working with women and depression, anxiety, women's issues, fertility, loss of pregnancy or child, self-esteem, work-life balance, and more. My therapeutic style is client-centered. I truly believe that offering myself in a non-judgmental and genuine way, as your Therapist and guide, will yield you to find the strengths within yourself to utilize for the situations that may be challenging in your life. In life, we all experience difficult situations, but sometimes we need a help in figuring out how to move through it. Often times, we're so overcome with the situation that we forget, while not the same situation, how we've utilized techniques to get through other difficulties in the past. That's what I'm here for! I want to provide a safe space for healing and building your technique bank to get through these situations now and in the future. I am looking forward to talking with you and gathering information in order to meet your needs. I understand no two clients are the same, so we'll tailor our sessions to address challenges that are unique to you. In developing a care plan, we'll work together and meet where you are in this journey towards getting to a balanced life.

I am a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience. I completed my doctoral training in the field of clinical psychology and have worked with clients of all ages who are challenged by a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, school struggles, health problems, and financial stress. I believe all people are deserving of dignity and respect and no one can be defined simply by their struggles. It's my mission to bring mental health care to those who have been reluctant to seek care or have not had means or access. My approach is mostly cognitive-behavioral combined with person-centered and solution-focused features. However, I understand that all clients are individuals, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to counseling. We will work together in finding an approach that is the best fit for your needs. There's no doubt that making personal change can be scary, so congratulate yourself on taking the first step! The journey may not always be easy, but I am here to support you as you build a better you. I look forward to working with you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I have been actively providing Therapy Services since the year 2015, however I collaboratively have over 18 years of experience in my many roles within the Social Services field working with adults, families and children. I will operate with the intention to support and empower individuals to reach their desired goals. I provide a person centered environment, in which self- determination is encouraged, modeled and commended. I engage others with warmth, respect and positive regard. I received my undergrad degree in Social Work at Herbert Lehman College located in Bronx, New York, which was where I was introduced to the Social Work Relationship Principles of Felix Biestek. The late Felix Biestek, a Priest, Professor and Author of The Casework Relationship. Chicago: Loyola, 1957, developed 7 Social Work Principles and the following principles sets the standard for my purposeful interactions with others: (1) Individualism- Recognizing that each youth has his/her own unique qualities. (2)Purposeful Expression of Feelings- Recognizing the persons’ need to express his/her feelings freely. (3)Controlled Emotional Involvement- Sensitivity to a person’s feelings and having an appropriate response. (4)Acceptance – Seeing the person where he/she is at including strengths and weaknesses, so that the person can feel safe to reveal him/herself and have self -awareness. This will help the person take a realistic approach to deal with barriers. (5)Non Judgmental Attitude – Not making someone feel guilty or persecuted because of their situation and/or problem. (6)Self- Determination – The right and the need for one to freely be involved in making their own choices and decisions in the helping process. (7)Confidentiality- Is a person’s right! Confidentiality is broken only when the person signs a statement for release of information to others, the court orders confidential records, or when the person is in danger to himself or others. I will operate in your best interest, in an effort to understand any/all barriers that may be causing a disruption in the home, at school, at work as well as in the community that impairs your social functioning.
