Getting to know Crystal De La Riva

Crystal De La Riva, MFT, is a Marriage and Family Therapist who earned both her BA in Psychology and MA in Marriage and Family Therapy from Chapman University. Compassionate and client-centered, Crystal was drawn to the mental health field by her desire to support others on a deeper, more personal level. Her passion for caregiving was inspired early on by her grandmother, whose kindness and generosity shaped Crystal’s empathetic approach. She strives to make each client feel seen, heard, and supported—especially those from marginalized communities. She believes in the importance of representation in mental health and brings cultural awareness and sensitivity to her work. While not fluent in Spanish, she is familiar with it and attentive to its cultural relevance in therapy. Crystal values the uniqueness of each person’s journey and enjoys helping clients cultivate self-awareness, patience, and growth on their own terms. Whether supporting individuals, couples, or families, she brings warmth, understanding, and a deep respect for each client’s goals and lived experience. Outside of her clinical work, Crystal enjoys nurturing her growing plant collection, listening to vinyl records, vintage and antique shopping, and spending time with her two dogs.
