Chrystal Hamilton-Dorelien

Hi, I'm Chrystal. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nearly 20 years of experience supporting adults through trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and identity exploration.

I work with adults and young adults who are looking for more than symptom relief. They want to better understand themselves, their relationships, and the patterns that continue to show up in their lives.

I'm also a Certified Narrative Enneagram Practitioner and thoughtfully incorporate Enneagram-informed work when it's a good fit to deepen self-awareness and understanding. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, supported, and accepted.

I work in a warm, collaborative, and thoughtful way, helping clients slow down, explore patterns, and make sense of their experiences with compassion rather than judgment. Therapy isn't about quick fixes—it's about developing insight, emotional balance, and lasting change.

My approach is integrative, drawing from trauma-informed, attachment-focused, psychodynamic, humanistic, mindfulness-based, and narrative therapies. Together, we'll explore not only what's happening, but why, while building practical tools that help you move forward with greater confidence and intention.

Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, what's feeling most important right now, and what you hope will be different.

There's no pressure to tell your whole story at once—we'll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and with a clear sense of how we can work together moving forward.
