LGBTQ

Crystal works from an attachment based, trauma informed, and relational perspective and specialized in working with Gender, Sex, and Relationship Diverse (GSRD) individuals.

Crystal’s passion is helping people who feel like they are in transition in their life; whether healing from past trauma, navigating relationship changes, or exploring lifestyle issues related to being part of LGBTQ+, polyamorous, and/or kink communities. She has worked extensively with people exploring gender and sexual identities by offering radical acceptance, infinite curiosity, and deep compassion to those seeking to discover their authentic life. She also has significant experience working with sexual assault and domestic violence survivors by supporting their healing process and working through shame to find empowerment.

LGBTQ+ therapy. Supporting eating disorder & trauma recovery for clients of all genders & sexual orientations.

I approach therapy from a holistic and trauma-informed lens, utilizing emotion-focused, body-based, mindfulness-informed modalities as well as more traditional therapeutic approaches like psychodynamic and CBT (cognitive-behavioral).

I am a kink knowledgeable, ethical non-monogamy knowledgeable, LGBTQ2S+ knowledgeable counsellor and have experience working with neurodivergence. I went into counselling to serve this demographic because it is an area I am passionate about and believe the community deserves clinicians with lived experience.

I am a counselor in private practice who is LGBTQ+ safe and sensitive, poly / consensual nonmongamy friendly, and kink aware. I would be happy to talk with you and feel out whether I would be a good fit to address the concerns that bring you to counseling. If I am not a good fit, I would be happy to help connect you with other area counselors who may be a good fit for you!Feel free to check out my website or telephone me for more information! For individual therapy, I currently accept BCBS, Presbyterian, New Mexico Health Connections, medicaid, and have a sliding scale for private pay as well. Couples therapy is not billable to insurance companies and thus is self pay. All major credit cards, HSA, FSA, checks, and cash are accepted.
