Crystal Schaeffer, LCSW

Psychotherapist
NY
Hello! I’m Crystal a bilingual (English/Spanish) licensed clinical social worker dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, authenticity, and evidence-based care. I believe therapy should be a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, life transitions, stress, and behavioral concerns. My background includes outpatient therapy, crisis intervention, hospital settings, and forensic mental health, allowing me to support clients with a wide range of emotional and psychological concerns. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and individualized. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, strengths-based therapy, and solution-focused techniques to help clients build practical coping skills while addressing the underlying causes of emotional distress. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, struggling with relationships, coping with trauma, or simply looking for a supportive place to grow, my goal is to help you feel empowered, build resilience, and move toward a healthier and more fulfilling life. Together, we’ll create realistic goals and celebrate progress every step of the way.

Don’t see your insurance?

It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider's self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan's benefits.
