15 years offering treatment
My name is Cristal Jenkins, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia, Washington State, Oregon, California and Florida. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Washington in 2012. I've had the privilege of working with individuals and families in various settings over the past 15+ years. My experience spans many areas, including depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship issues, parenting challenges, vocational stress, and addiction. I specialize in trauma therapy, which means I help people who have experienced distressing, overwhelming, or life-altering events that continue to affect their thoughts, emotions, or relationships. Trauma can manifest in many ways—persistent anxiety, difficulty trusting others, emotional numbness, or feeling "stuck" in past experiences. Through a compassionate, strengths-based approach, I work with clients to gently process their experiences, build resilience, and rediscover their sense of self and safety. At the heart of my practice is the belief that people are incredibly resilient and that healing is possible with the right support. I bring a calm, open-minded, and nonjudgmental presence to my work. I see each client through a strengths-based lens, helping you recognize and use your inner resources to move forward with confidence and hope. You're welcome to message me anytime through BetterHelp. One of the great benefits of this platform is the ability to communicate more frequently and flexibly than in traditional therapy. I typically check messages twice a day, Monday through Friday, and offer sessions through video, phone, live chat, or asynchronous messaging—whatever suits your comfort level and schedule. I'm honored to walk with you through this chapter, and I look forward to getting to know you and supporting your growth. Best regards, Cristal Jenkins, LCSW

I’m well skilled in working with individuals, both women and men, as well as, the elderly. My use of therapy is integrative, although I do have my favorites; which include, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness grounding skills.

Mental Wellness Specialties: Anger managementSelf esteem
6 years offering treatment
My journey to help others lead their best lives started over 15 years ago. I have worked to help children, youth, and adults offering them a range of therapy services to guide them through life’s challenges and most trying times. Life can get difficult, and sometimes a little help from a professional Psychotherapist can make things better. I care about your well-being and provide you all the tools you need in order to seize the day and learn how to tackle even the most traumatic circumstances. I use a blend of brain and body based therapies. My primary modality is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy), based on the Adaptive Information Processing model. Neuroscience and studies on Neuroplasticity are bearing out that the mind can heal itself. Old pathways and negative memories can be updated with new adaptive information. EMDR uses eye movements and other forms of physical tapping and Bi-Lateral stimulation to help the brain process old stuck memories and trauma. Not just for Big Trauma's like car accidents, it can help with many issues from the past, present and perceived future concerns including PTSD, trauma, depression, anxiety and more specific issues such as religious abuse, shame, guilt and pain management.
