Crystol DeJohnette

Hello! My name is Crystol DeJohnette and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Life can be complex and challenging. It's often unclear what the best solution or strategy is. Pressure, stress, sadness, and overwhelm can find their footing and make it hard for us to find our way. Or perhaps, we are unsure of what change can look like and feel a sense of hopelessness. This is where I hope to come and assist.

I work with adults ages 18+ navigating a variety of issues including mood shifts, anxiety, stress, ADHD, depression, life transitions, and relationships issues. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Positive Psychology throughout the therapeutic process.

While therapy with me is goal-oriented, it's also compassionate. Open-mindedness and a non-judgmental stance will always be prioritized, as will a respectful and collaborative approach.

Our work together will likely cover a range of topics, however, a core part of our work will center on strengthening the relationship with the "self". This includes:

• developing practical skills to help you navigate challenges with greater resilience
• building self-compassion
• strengthening confidence
• building insight and mastery over difficult emotions
• increasing your capacity to experience positive emotions
• identifying patterns and creating meaningful change
• reconnecting with strengths, purpose, and values

Ultimately, my goal is to help you create a life that feels more aligned, purposeful, and fulfilling.

The first session is partly for getting to know you and partly a time for gathering information on what issues you're facing and what goals you may have. You'll get to ask me any questions about my approach and will hopefully leave with a sense of direction about the path forward. If it's a good fit, we'll set up a schedule for next sessions and take it from there!
