Crystal Waites

I’m the owner of Bee Mindful Counseling and am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Clinical Supervisor and have been working in the counseling field for over 20 years. I've how many people have lacked access to specialized, nonjudgmental support that focused on both personal growth and agency over their life. Increasing personal choice and creating new patterns of beneficial behavior. I have provided services to prenatal clients thru geriatrics with various problem presentations. I work with a diverse clientele from a range of educational and socio-economic backgrounds. Bee Mindful is an inclusive, culturally sensitive, and safe space for anyone who is looking to grow and take accountability over change.

My education, professional training and experience have aptly prepared me to provide counseling using an array of treatment modalities including DBT, Rogerian, Play Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and CBT to include counseling techniques such as various listening styles, role-play, simulation, parent-child interactive, behavioral assignments, activity monitoring, thought recording and other activities befitting to provide individualized, electric counseling services to my clients. My goal is to provide a structured, evidence-based approach that encourages clients to take accountability, understand the roots of their behavior, and develop healthier coping strategies like empathy, self-reflection, and ownership.

I believe change is possible when people are given right tools, support, and the opportunity to grow. This practice was built on that belief - and continues to operate with compassion as the primary focus.

At Bee Mindful Counseling, the bee represents transformation, accountability, and collective healing. Bees are humble yet powerful creatures—they work persistently, contribute to something greater than themselves, and, despite their small size, they make an enormous impact. Similarly, the journey of therapy often starts small—with one insight, one honest conversation, one moment of courage—but over time, those moments build something meaningful and lasting.

Bees are deeply mindful and intentional in how they move through the world. They don’t rush. They visit each flower with purpose, collecting only what they need, and leaving behind pollination—a quiet legacy of growth.

That’s the vision I hold for my clients: healing not through perfection, but through small, consistent acts of awareness and responsibility.
