Krystal is an amazing counselor. I remember telling her she was a God given best friend. I went into to therapy not knowing how it would turn out & it ended up being the best thing I did for myself. I would refer her to anybody.

Krystal came to every meeting with new tools to help me better manage my anxiety and the things that were going on in my life at the time of my therapy. She was always so uplifting and encouraging and she always remembered everything I had told her and knew how to laugh with me when I needed it. She still checks in with me and I would recommend her services to anybody looking into therapy.

Krystal was exactly what I was looking for in a counselor. Very professional yet she makes it so easy to have a flowing and genuine conversation. She meets you exactly where you are and allows you to set the tone for the sessions by checking in prior to getting started. What you are willing to put in is what you’ll get out of therapy but she really made it easy for me to let my wall down and put in the work, and I am so happy I finally decided to choose me and invest in myself for once.
