Getting to know Crystal Folk
Hi, my name is Crystal Folk, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Riverside County, CA. I work with clients throughout the state via telehealth. I work with individuals, couples, and families. My counseling style is warm and interactive; I believe in treating everyone with respect, being sensitive, and meeting each client in the space that they are in. My counseling approach pulls from several theories, but I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, some Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapies to help meet my clients where they are in their healing journey. I earned my Master's in Counseling from the University of Phoenix.
My approach
I really meet the client where they are in their healing journey. I have lots of interventions and techniques that I bring into session. I like to use the analogy: "We are headed on a road trip, I am the driver and you are my passenger; you have the map, so you help me to navigate where we are headed." I understand that you may not know, and that is the work that we will do in sessions.
My focus
I am comfortable supporting clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, self-esteem, and issues of grief and loss. I have helped people navigate the complex aftermath that results from physical trauma or emotional abuse, and all that life brings with you. I talk about it as a journey to help provide a different perspective to the therapeutic process; it can be whatever you need it to be (a short sprint or a marathon). I want to help you get to your goal.
My communication style
I listen to my clients, engage honestly, and provide feedback when needed. I also assign home practice to ensure you are able to apply what you are learning in session to life outside of sessions. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment.
