More about Chrystal

- LPC
I work with individuals and couples in building their toolbox with skills and techniques useful in their daily lives. An unhealthy relationship has a negative impact on the mental and the emotional health, as a license counselor and sex therapist, I work to help couples rebuild their trust in order to impactfully communicate, enhancing the relationship overall. Sexual dysfunction, desire and intimacy concerns, body imaging, chronic pain and illness issues, are some areas I have worked with as a sex therapist. In my experience as a mental health counselor, in the state of Michigan over the last 10 years, some of my areas of focus include: anxiety, depression, stress related issues, domestic violence and sexual trauma.
Providing a warm, supportive and judgement free environment, allows my clients to feel safe to explore challenges and issues they may face. I use clinically tested, evidence-based techniques to help individuals and couples overcome obstacles, I tailor my approach based on the need of the individual or couple. My approach combines models like Cognitive Behavioral, Mindfulness, Imago, Solution-Focused, Good-Enough Sex Model and Psychodynamic model.
You have made the most important step, by reaching out, let us take the next step together. I can help you discover the tools within you, to cope and to make the changes necessary, to have the life you desire.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Amazing therapist
Chrystal is wonderful, and I instantly felt at ease with her.
I have only had two sessions until now with Chrystal, but she is the third therapist I have worked with so far into my life, and I could not be more happy to have found her. She seems to have a way of knowing when to prompt more answers, or which part of a story to focus on and delve into deeper. She is very kind, extremely professional, and isn't overly serious or overly technical. Just the right mix of knowledgeability and personality!
Shes wonderful and easy to talk to. Her advice is always so helpful and our sessions are always the highlight of my week. I'm so grateful to have been paired with someone as understanding and lovely as Chrystal.
Crystal is super kind, friendly and understanding. I’ve had great sessions with her and I’m looking forward to my healing journey!
Chrystal is awesome! She has helped me gain perspective. She has listened to me and tailored her questions in a way that made me self reflect. I was going through a hard time and after speaking to her I am very confident that I will be okay.
