Getting to know Crystal Neal

I am a licensed clinical professional counselor in Illinois with a helping background in long-term care, rehabilitative programs and family services. As a faith-based counselor and Gerontologist, I integrate spiritually grounded approaches and Narrative therapy to support older adults through life transitions surrounding bereavement, relational trauma and generational caregiving. I am particularly drawn to clinical work with individuals experiencing late-life partner loss and adjustment to the primary care and financial support of grandchildren. With commitment and support, I believe that individuals can meet their goals to regain resilience and agency.

What should a new client know about working with you?

As a faith-based counselor, I understand the comfort of solitude and peace. Sometimes we need a reminder of how to navigate difficult life transitions with hope and resilience. I believe in meaningful processing of interpersonal conflicts from a holistic lens and drawn to approaches that help reframe difficult seasons, explore alternatives, and regain a sense of purpose. I specialize in therapeutic services with older adults experiencing relational trauma, grief and loss, isolation, and generational caregiving.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

During our first meeting, we'll have a conversation. I'll take some time to walk through counseling expectations, confidentiality, and our collaborative relationship in the therapeutic process. We'll begin to explore what led you to counseling and life circumstances that may have shaped your perspective. This will give us an opportunity to start identifying therapeutic goals and map out our plan. Most important, this is a safe environment. I want you to feel comfortable sharing as much or as little as we get to know each other.
