Crystal Hamilton

Therapist

Virtual • Athens, GA


Do you feel like your anxiety or depression takes over at the worst possible moments? Are you finding it difficult to feel growth in managing trauma responses? Are you seeking a safe and brave space for therapy that utilizes somatic movements and exploration of intersectional identity affiliations and alliances?


I help individuals gain self-awareness and management of anxiety and depression. I offer aid unpacking trauma with options in exploring mindful movement and feeling present in the body. I assist exploration of intersectional identity (i.e., which is open to race, religion, spirituality, LGBTQIA+, and other identity affiliations/alliances).


If you would like to learn more about my experiences working with clients in navigating through these struggles, or credentials, I encourage you to click on the website for www.crystalcsw.com
