It's important to find a therapist you connect with. My clients find that my warm and compassionate approach to therapy makes it easy to connect with me. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and AASECT certified sex therapist, I counsel couples looking to improve their relationship, find ways to re-connect and build a healthier, more satisfying relationship. I specialize in working with individuals and couples experiencing sexual difficulties such as low/high sexual desire, painful sex (i.e. vaginismus, vulvodynia, etc.), orgasm difficulties, and intimacy issues after cancer.

Life brings challenges that can be helped through obtaining caring and confidential support. As a compassionate and open-minded therapist, I strive to create a trusting and collaborative environment where clients can express themselves honestly without fear of judgment or rejection. My approach is to empower clients to have the confidence to make better life decisions for themselves and their families. I support clients as they process trauma, and help guide them towards recognizing and adjusting destructive life patterns that are interfering with their overall well-being. I am a member of the World Transgender Health Organization.

I specialize in helping distracted kids, unhappy teens, & overwhelmed parents find their unique path to a more connected & fulfilling life. I also work with individual adults looking to find more joy & purpose in their daily lives. As a native Spanish speaker, I have a passion for empowering Latino families by helping them better understand & access mental health services. As a psychologist with over 20 years of clinical experience, I have worked with a wide range of issues, especially challenging childhoods.

I am graduate of West Georgia with a Bachelors of Psychology and received my Master of Professional Counseling from Argosy University. I have been in private practice since 2009 and have extensive counseling experience with individuals and families, specializing in depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and substance abuse. In my work with clients, I provide a non-judgmental, protected space that allows you to process your thoughts and emotions.

Seeking help for problems that are affecting your functioning, moods, family, and your life can be challenging. Yet and still, making the decision to address these issues can have life changing benefits. Whether it’s depression, anxiety, relationship issues, stress, parenting challenges, coping skills, or grief, professional counseling can help. I have over 20 years of clinical experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor helping children, adolescents, couples, and individuals. And I am confident of the support I can offer you and your loved ones to facilitate personal change.

I am committed to assisting people who have experienced traumatic life events. My goal is to guide clients during life's storms, to be a springboard that assists in propelling them toward a fuller, more meaningful life of their choosing. I trust my clients' strengths and abilities to become their greatest selves through discovery of their innate self-worth. I embrace and value the uniqueness and individuality of my clients and strive to be an advocate for all. I specialize in working with individuals overcoming trauma and the LGBT community. I look forward to assisting in your journey to peace.

Often I work with teens, college students or adults who are experiencing depression, social anxiety, transition, or grief. My clients are often isolated and lacking strong social connections, either by choice or because they feel rejected. For my clients, I try to center my work around logic, common sense and a supportive, trusting relationship. Many people find relief in just being able to tell someone what they're thinking without judgement.

Experiencing anxiety and stress can leave you feeling exhausted, depleted, and disconnected. You may find yourself having a difficult time balancing your many responsibilities. You may feel overwhelmed to the point that you are having a difficult time completing projects or wanting to connect with others. You are now ready to cope with your anxiety and stress, so you may once again engage in healthy loving relationships. Most of all, you are ready to live a more aligned and connected life.

Your current life situations do not have to predict your tomorrow. If you are ready to move away from the past I can help. My passion is to help others find freedom from the issues that are causing difficulties and pain. Freedom comes from resolving the issues that are causing the difficulties. Freedom can be found in many forms such as: mending relationships, putting an addiction to rest, developing boundaries, facing depression and anxiety or rebuilding a broken marriage. The road to tomorrow is paved by the work you do today.

I am a psychotherapist ( social worker) with 41 years of clinical experience. I've had the privilege of working with clients in varying stages of life, from early childhood to late adulthood.My many years of training, in different treatment modalities, has led me to develop a very eclectic treatment orientation. Therapy is tailored to the needs of each individual client.....everyone is unique .

You don't know why, but you just don't feel like yourself anymore. You feel depressed, you can't focus, you are anxious or wanting to isolate yourself. You don't know when it started but something is not right and your life is not like it used to be. What would your life be like if you had a greater understanding and better tools for coping with and managing your emotions? What would your relationships be like if you had a deeper awareness of yourself and improved strategies for communicating with your loved ones?

Life can be a difficult journey at times, and during those times it can be helpful to have someone who can help by sharing the load. Regardless of what type of struggle or transition you are dealing with, we can work together to help you learn new ways of managing those tough times, which will allow you to develop skills for future reference as you continue to travel through life. Since I was a young child in Southeast Asia I have helped others, and it continues to be a passion of mine to this day. As a nurse and a counselor I have experience working with individuals from all walks of life including children through mature adults.

I specialize in the assessment and treatment of learning, behavioral, social-emotional, and developmental challenges in children and adolescents. My goal is to help parents understand why their child is struggling and to develop a treatment plan and educational strategies that nurture strengths, compensate for weaknesses, and support identified areas of need. Let me help you to identify your child's strengths and weaknesses in order to make practical and meaningful recommendations to address the presenting problem, to better educate your child's school about his or her unique needs, and to identify appropriate resources and services in the community.

Life is challenging. We all face times when unwanted or simply unexpected experiences cause us to feel desperate, overwhelmed and alone. A relationship that was a source of support suddenly becomes a source of stress. A loved one becomes ill. A job is lost. A parent dies. A child is born. Our "nest" becomes empty. Memories and fears haunt us. Anxiety and depression interfere with enjoying life. The counseling services I offer can help you to improve your relationships, create healthy family dynamics and make changes that make life better.

Crystal Favre, LPC has helped hundreds of children, adolescents, adults and families recover, grow and take control of their lives. Sometimes all people need is the first step of recovering and finding balance. Others have goals they're struggling to reach because of obstacles in their way. In each case, Crystal takes a compassionate, patient approach to help each individual/family work out the steps they need to progress toward their goals regardless of the situation.

My passion and experience is extensive in the areas of mood, emotional regulation, trauma, ADHD, ASD, addictions, co-dependency, family of origin issues and adolescent challenges. I address mind, body, family systems, vocation, academics, hobbies and spirituality simultaneously. When requested by a client, a Christian perspective can be integrated into the therapy process. I am client-centered and develop a series of interventions that are challenging without being shaming. I have 20 years of experience sharing hope, humor (I often laugh with my client's in session) and professionalism. References from physicians, schools or other professionals area available per request.

I believe that we are designed to thrive in relationship. Unfortunately, things happen throughout our lives that can make it difficult to connect with others in a healthy way. In our attempt to avoid pain, we protect ourselves in ways that that leave us feeling isolated and alone - the exact opposite of what we want. I believe good therapy helps you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and inspires you to grow in ways that make it possible to experience fulfilling relationships and to live a happier life.

In my work with couples, adults, and teens, my hope is that clients will leave therapy confident in their strengths, equipped to make wise choices, and empowered to maintain healthier lives and relationships. While the content of sessions depends on client needs/preferences, I typically work to alleviate negative symptoms within the context of current circumstances, help identify the root of challenges, and modify unhealthy cognitive and emotional processes. I use interventions that help clients break through an impasse and equip them with practical solutions for future problem-solving. I offer targeted short-term counseling or in-depth therapy that identifies and replaces negative patterns.
