Getting to know Crystal Hannays
I am a compassionate therapist with two degrees in counseling and extensive internship experience supporting individuals through a variety of life challenges. My professional approach centers on empathy, active listening, and meeting clients exactly where they are in their journey. I value genuineness and trustworthiness, and I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients of all age groups feel heard, respected, and understood.
I am deeply passionate about building authentic therapeutic relationships and walking alongside clients as they work toward healing, growth, and self-awareness at their own pace. I also believe in the importance of self-care and modeling balance; outside of my professional work, I enjoy reading and taking intentional time for myself to reset and recharge.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Taking the step to begin therapy is a meaningful act of courage and self-care. Whether you are seeking relief from anxiety, working through emotional difficulties, or simply wanting to better understand yourself, I am here to support you at your own pace. My goal is to walk alongside you with compassion and respect as you build awareness, resilience, and confidence in your ability to move forward. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone, and I welcome you to take this next step toward healing and growth.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
During our first visit, we’ll spend time getting to know you — your concerns, history, and what’s bringing you in now. I use a thorough diagnostic process that includes thoughtful questions about symptoms, lifestyle, medical history, and goals for care. Sessions are collaborative and judgment-free. Depending on your needs, appointments may include talk therapy, education, and discussion of treatment options. I focus on helping patients feel heard, supported, and actively involved in their care, and I tailor treatment plans to each individual rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. A typical session begins with an open conversation about how you’re feeling and what you’d like help with. I take time to carefully assess symptoms and patterns, and I practice talk therapy as part of treatment when appropriate. My approach is collaborative and patient-centered, with an emphasis on understanding the whole person and creating a clear, personalized plan moving forward.
