We can be faced with so many life changing challenges on a daily basis, I want you to know I am here to help you along your journey of sustainable mental health. My name is Crystal, and I am completing my Advanced Certification in Mental Health Counseling at the University at Buffalo. I obtained my Masters in School Counseling and my Bachelors in Human Services.
Positive thought: Your circumstances do not define who you are. Sometimes situations from our past can be connected to our present situations, but the first step to healing is reaching out. I am an advocate for individuals prioritizing their mental health and seeking assistance as needed. I have prior experience working with clients that experience anxiety, trauma, grief, college/career counseling, emotional regulation, stress, ADHD, and additional life experiences.
When pertaining to my therapeutic approach, I combine the use of cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness based stress reduction. With the use of a variety of interventions, I prioritize the strategy that best correlates with the clients needs. I value maintaining a safe environment for every client I encounter during therapy. The goal is for my clients to always feel listened to, respected, and encouraged positively throughout their therapeutic journey. Confidentiality is also prioritized for the safety of all clients. Your therapeutic experience with me will be filled with commitment and goal oriented skills that will be purposeful to your life.
