Getting to know Crystal Schaefer

Hi there, I'm Crystal! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Board Certified Art Therapist (ATR-BC) with more than 12 years of experience. I earned my Master’s in Psychology from Phillips Graduate University. I work holistically, meaning that I take into consideration many aspects of your well-being. We’ll work to shore up your coping skills to manage presenting distress while discovering the roots of issues for long-lasting change. My approach is attachment-focused, trauma-informed, and collaborative. My interests include spending time in nature, art, reading, and playing piano. My approach Some of the treatment modalities I use are CBT, narrative therapy, psychodynamic, mindfulness, and art therapy. My focus I welcome a wide range of challenges, though some of my areas of expertise include anxiety, burn-out, perfectionism, relationship issues, life changes, grief, and women’s issues. My communication style I'm adaptable to whatever communication style works best for you. I'm happy to guide the session, focusing on what might be most therapeutic, though I encourage my clients to let their intuition lead the way. My journey to mental healthcare I've always had an interest in psychology, health, and healing, and seeking a purpose-driven career led me to pursue being a therapist. I find all my clients so interesting and a pleasure to work with and feel so lucky to be able to do this work. My goals for you This is your therapy and your goals. You let me know where you'd like to go and what you'd like to work on, and we'll collaborate to help you get there. My first session with you We'll discuss what's bringing you to therapy, your history, your goals, answer any questions, and discuss how we can reach those goals.
