Getting to know Debonnie Crawford

As a graduate and mental health counselor, I’m excited to begin my career as a compassionate and dedicated clinician committed to providing trauma-informed and culturally appropriate care to my clients. My approach includes CBT, DBT skills, person-centered counseling, and trauma-informed care. My primary goal is to create a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and comfortable

What should a new client know about working with you?

My clinical approach is primarily geared towards Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with applying methods from DBT and person-centered therapy to address the unique and individual needs of my clients. I am passionate about supporting people who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, emotional regulation difficulties, and life stressors. Additionally, I aspire to help my clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves, develop healthy coping skills, and make positive changes in their lives. I look forward to strengthening my clinical skills, enhancing my knowledge of trauma-informed care, and remaining within the scope of my practice while helping and supporting my clients on their journey. In doing so, it will allow me to develop the skills needed to become an effective well-rounded clinician.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In the first session I will complete an intake assessment to gather as much information to better assess and get to know you, your history, and what concerns have brought you to therapy and therefore set up goals. The following sessions, we will engage in talk therapy while pulling from various modalities to help you achieve your goals. Our sessions are 45 min in length on a weekly basis. Please allow 15 minutes before the session to do the intake paperwork. I PROVIDE PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICES ONLY; PLEASE NOTE I DON’T PROVIDE MEDICATION MANAGEMENT SERVICES.
