Great to meet you!

Hello I am Crystal Pereira. I have a Master’s in Counseling with a concentration in Marriage, Family, and Children Therapy. I have experience with working with those who have suffered from Conduct Disorder, Depression, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Schizophrenia, Substance Abuse Dependency, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder , Autism Spectrum Disorders, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Eating Disorders, Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Building rapport is the foundation for true growth to take place and the starting point for the therapy process. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a roadmap to change; but if a different approach is more beneficial for clients that is direction I move to.

What you can expect from our first session

I am a firm believer that everyone deserves to be content in their lives and sometimes they need assistance getting back on track to just being in that state. My goal is to serve this community by providing therapeutic services to clients, help with goal-setting, marriage, family, and relationship problems, life transitions, psychological problems, stress management, grief and loss, behavioral/emotional problems, parenting, communication, and/or life skills and spiritual growth.


Crystal's style is

Open-minded
Empowering
Energetic
