What if you poured all the energy you use to worry and argue with your tween into building a Lasting relationship with them instead?
Where it Began...
(Yes, thats me as a Teen!)
I know it’s important to know about the person you’re (virtually) inviting into your home. *deep breath*
Here's a bit about me.
My childhood was rooted in turmoil…
Yeah, we’re starting heavy, folks!
I know firsthand what it’s like for needs to go unmet, for family dynamics to be broken, and to navigate life alone from a very early age.
Once I became a tween myself, the defiance set in. I rebelled and went through my own stage of self-discovery. One that led me to a therapist that changed my life.
…I healed my trauma, did the work to improve my emotional intelligence, and designed a life I love.
It wasn't easy, it was the hardest thing I have ever done. I fought tooth and nail to get to where I am today
Today I have a life filled with my Goldendoodle (who’s my favorite person on the planet – don’t tell my husband!). Travel – margs and a beach? Count me In! I’m happiest with fishing poles, running water, and being immersed in nature.
I wish I could say I shed the defiance. Really, I just channeled it into my version of rebellion against Parenting Norms.
(Yes, thats me as a Teen! Peep the Black Eyeliner, lol)
I challenge my clients to face their unhelpful habits, gaps in communication, and self-doubt so they can be the parents they long to become.
The result? They go from fights to friendship
The truth is…
You aren’t here to keep doing what you’re doing, because you know it’ll bring the same result.
My approach helps you reframe how you think about parenting so YOU can influence positive change in your family.
When things Shifted...
After working with my own therapist I knew deep in my bones I wanted to dedicate my life to helping families.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work and became a licensed therapist.
How does this help you?
1: I’ve spent hundreds of hours with families from all different walks of life to develop the processes I use and therapeutic techniques I pull from. These are not theories or ideas I’ve pulled from Psychology Today, these are tried and tested, science-backed methods that get results.
2: Speaking of that, ALL of my programs and course materials have these evidence-based methods and field-proven processes at their foundation.
Can I be honest with you for a minute? Wonderful.
There are a lot of thera-influencers out there. You’re likely thinking, “Why should I trust what you have to say”? I know I would be. Anyone can say “Hey this is evidence-based”, but how can they prove that?
Here’s how I do:
Only using up-to-date journals from credible sources that I openly share with clients.
Citation is my middle name. I’m a walking bibliographer.
I’ve not only proven it in my private practice but also measured and proven these processes successfully in my coaching business.
I’m serious about what I do. I’ve put in the hours. And I play NO games with your family.
My Passion For Coaching Parents Was Born…
I wanted to leverage my clinical work with parents of middle schoolers and work beyond talk therapy.
Enter: CrystalTDoesTherapy.
...Because I thought it’d be great to not only run my own private practice but also build an entire parenting coaching business from scratch....
*takes a double shot of espresso*.
Anywho, here at CrystalTDoesTherapy we are goal-oriented and results-driven.
It’s not about what’s happened…
It’s about what happens next.
How It's Going...
Over 180 families are thriving with tools to work through future challenges and strengthen their relationships.
From this success, I’ve been able to create a team to help me carry out my vision with my clients.
I’ve perfected strategies and methods and learned how to couple them with the individuality of each parent we work with.
Where We’re Headed!
We’re constantly working to increase our impact and show up for families.
When family thrives, individuals prosper.
This positively impacts our communities and the world.
