Getting to know Krystal L. Drake, PhD

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with over two decades of experience helping people feel more grounded, capable, and connected to themselves again. I work with teens and adults who are carrying anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD-related struggles, or the weight of trying to manage everything at once. My approach is honest, supportive, and focused on helping you build a life that feels manageable, meaningful, and aligned with who you want to be. In our first session together, here's what you can expect During our first session, you can expect a warm, structured conversation where we get clear on what’s been troubling you and what you want from therapy. I’ll ask about your concerns, your history, your strengths, and what you’re hoping to improve. You set the pace. I never push clients to share more than they’re ready for. By the end of the session, you’ll walk away with a better understanding of your symptoms, the direction we’ll take, and the next steps to help you feel more steady and supported. The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions My strengths lie in blending clinical expertise with a straightforward, compassionate approach. I’m skilled in trauma-informed care, cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and somatic-based strategies that help clients manage stress and build emotional regulation. I’m known for being honest, grounded, and able to handle complex life experiences without judgment. My background across hospitals, community mental health, private practice, and supervisory roles allows me to adapt to a wide range of needs and provide care that is practical, empowering, and deeply person-centered.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
