As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe life is definitely a journey filled with emotions that takes us down different paths. During troubled times, these emotions and feelings may be hard to understand. Although the journey for everyone may be different, our experiences stem from similar scenarios.
Hello, my name is Kristal, I have a Masters in Counseling psychology and I am currently a Licensed Professional Counselor. I graduated from Tarleton State University in 2017 and have experience with both inpatient and outpatient care. I specialize in Solution-Focused Therapy. which helps you to identify how to identify current issues and come up with solutions in order to move forward in life.
I've worked with individuals in a non-profit, specializing in substance use and problematic sexual behaviors, gaining valuable insights into human behavior complexities and recovery challenges. As a Certified School Counselor with a background as a teacher and reading interventionist, I offer unique perspectives to support parents navigating the educational system. Whether entering or immersed in education, I provide understanding and guidance.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master of Science in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling. With over nine years of experience, I have had the privilege of working with clients from diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, self-esteem issues, LGBTQ+ concerns, and relationship difficulties.
Clients describe me as someone who’s compassionate, but who will “tell it like it is.” I believe that most problems in our relationships and well-being come from unmet needs in childhood. I help my clients learn to heal through mindfulness, reparenting, and finding a sense of safety through Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) or somatic therapy. At the same time, we need to identify and challenge negative beliefs that we have about ourselves and the world. This is a process called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Through therapy, we can develop self-awareness, healthy boundaries, and assertive communication. These are skills we can all learn to help us feel better and work towards the life and healthy relationships we want.
