Getting to know Abrina Schnurman-Crook

Hello! I am Abrina Schnurman-Crook, Ph.D., LPC, and I earned my Ph.D. in Counselor Education from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. I have worked with individuals in crisis, couples, and young adults across various settings for several decades. If you are ready to be challenged directly, I may be a good fit. My approach is eclectic, tailored to what is needed to move forward. I draw from psychodynamics, systems, Gestalt, Gottman, Group Relations, and other theories. While many understand CBT and DBT, a purist approach often doesn't capture the complex issues presented. I am directive and will not simply listen and reflect supportively. That approach is appropriate in certain spaces and times, especially when processing very fresh trauma or critical incidents. Typically, what brings a client to therapy is not brand new. In most cases, I WILL offer alternate perspectives on your thinking or past behaviors. You will always leave with homework to think or act experimentally. I do not assign worksheets, journaling, or assessments. You will be accountable and expected to report on what you attempted from the prior session. It is work and should feel like it, with some understanding, support, and humor along the way. Thanks for considering me. I work with couples and individuals, preferring to treat relationship and conflict issues, self-confidence and esteem barriers, career transitions, and job performance concerns. I also address resilience and carryover concerns from childhood and family dynamics. I work with a range of women's issues and have experience with marginalized populations across a broad spectrum. The tone, almost from the start, will be challenging, with support and trust. We will try to infuse lighter notes and humor where we find them. Unless there is a very fresh incident requiring deep, supportive listening, the pace will move to what the client can manage regarding the challenging perspectives offered.
