Licensed Professional Counselor, EMDR Trained,
Approved LPC Supervisor
Owner: Start Today Counseling Interventions
I believe every person has the capacity to heal, sometimes it just takes the right support, a steady space, and someone who truly listens. My work centers on helping adults reconnect with the wisdom, resilience, and clarity they already carry, even if it feels out of reach right now. I’m a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP), EMDR‑trained therapist, Board‑Approved LPC Supervisor, and founder of Start Today Counseling Interventions. I work with adults (18+) who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, burnout, chronic stress, and major life transitions. My work is grounded in creating a safe, supportive environment and helping you understand how stress and past experiences show up in your thinking, body, emotions, and daily life. My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on what matters most to you. I blend talk therapy with mind‑body strategies, EMDR, and practical coping tools to help you understand your patterns, reduce overwhelm, and build skills that support your overall quality of life and wellbeing. Whether you’re recovering from burnout, adjusting to a big life change, or wanting a deeper understanding of yourself, we’ll move at a pace that feels steady and doable. My hope is that you leave each session feeling more centered, more connected to yourself, and equipped to step into your healthiest, most authentic life.

I work with adults (18+) who want to understand themselves more deeply and create real, lasting change in their lives.

My style is warm, collaborative, and down‑to‑earth.

In our work together, you’re the focus. We’ll clarify your values, strengths, and goals, and reconnect with the inner resilience and confidence you already carry.

LPC Resident in Counseling
​
Start Today Counseling Interventions
I believe our closest relationships, with partners, family, and ourselves, shape so much of how we move through the world. Even strong connections can feel strained when communication slips, old wounds get triggered, or life stress starts piling up. I work with individuals (18+), couples, and families to help shift reactive patterns into clarity, emotional safety, and more meaningful connection. My approach blends insight with practical tools. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you understand the different parts of yourself and the patterns that show up in your relationships. Together, we’ll explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion, work through the places that feel stuck or hurt, and build healthier ways of relating. I also offer here‑and‑now strategies to improve communication, regulate emotions, shift unhelpful thoughts, and strengthen problem‑solving skills. Whether you’re rebuilding trust, navigating a family or life transition, or wanting to grow on a personal level, I offer a collaborative, supportive space where you can feel seen, heard, and understood as you move toward more connected and fulfilling relationships.

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, EMDR trained, Approved LMFT Supervisor, Registered Yoga Teacher
Owner: Couch Talk With Crystal
Hi, I’m Crystal, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, board-approved supervisor in Virginia, and Registered Yoga Teacher. I’m the owner of Couch Talk With Crystal, a trauma-responsive private practice rooted in authenticity, connection, and healing. I specialize in working with individuals and couples navigating trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and burnout. I am EMDR-trained and integrate mind-body practices into my work. I believe healing is not just about insight; it’s also about nervous system regulation, self-awareness, and learning how to show up differently in your relationships and your life. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I value creating a space where you feel safe enough to explore hard things while also feeling empowered to grow. Whether in therapy or supervision, I approach the work with curiosity, compassion, and a deep respect for your lived experience. As a supervisor, I am passionate about helping emerging clinicians build confidence, strengthen clinical judgment, and develop a professional identity that feels aligned and sustainable. I believe supervision should support both competence and self-of-the-therapist work, because who you are in the room matters just as much as what you know.
