New Ulm was a city founded by German settlers in the mid-1800s. The city has faced many trials, the first of which was the US-Dakota War between the US and the Dakota tribe. During this war, much of the city was burned. Just like the early settlers of New Ulm and the Dakota, many people face battles in their lives. Whether your battle is of a personal or emotional nature such as depression, you do not have to fight on your own.

Counselors in the New Ulm area are available to assist you. These confidential and licensed therapists can offer support and guidance for stress, depression, or anxiety. If you are in need of someone to talk to, contact a counselor today.

Hello! My name is Crystal and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Minnesota. I graduated from St. Cloud State University in 2006 and I have about 16 years of counseling experience under my belt. In those years, I have had the pleasure of working with individuals, couples and families in both residential and outpatient settings. Most of the people I have worked with have been those that have experienced significant trauma; however, I have also been able to work with those experiencing daily life stressors. I have been told by many that I am easy to talk to and that is my main goal. I wish to offer an unbiased, non-judgmental, validating, and caring experience to those who are seeking help. Taking the first step to engage in therapy is difficult enough and it is my hope to offer comfort and reassurance during the process. The approaches that I tend to gravitate towards are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Client Centered, and Solution Focused. I believe with a mixture of these modalities most people can find their way through their tough times and get to a point where they feel more comfortable with life. I definitely look forward to going on the journey with you to get to a better place with life and yourself.
