I believe my job as a therapist is to help tap into your most authentic self, and walk alongside you with whatever struggles there may be. My approach to therapy is direct, with the use of humor, analogies, and metaphors; I try to bring every thing together to help make sense in a world that can be confusing. Together we can tackle whatever difficult situation may be occurring in your life and get to the other side.

Crystal Broughton

Crystal Broughton

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 22 mi away • Conyers, GA


My name is Crystal Broughton. I am the founder of Milestone Counseling & Wellness, LLC (MCW) and lead therapist with a faith-based approach. As a licensed professional counselor, my mission is to provide the environment that fosters growth and resilience to help those feel empowered and reclaim their lives.

One of my strengths is my ability to listen...to hear YOU; in a non judgmental space. I provide you a space to release, search and identify what you need. Your narrative is the key to your healing and growth on your journey. Our life experiences influence the people we touch in our lives; our relationships, our jobs, our children. I'd love to listen to you.

I am a Master level, fully licensed and Nationally Certified Clinician. I understand the necessity of a safe place to discover healing & growth. We all experience levels of anxiety, depression, existential, and family/social conflict that hinders us from moving forward. The one thing we forget is that we don't have to endure it alone.
