Are you feeling stuck? Are you finding it more and more difficult to pull the pieces of your life together, on your own? If so, let’s partner together to get to the root of your concerns.

You're not lazy. You're just overwhelmed. I work with women who are trying really hard to keep their shit together. Things constantly feel disorganized, like there’s no way to get ahead of the chaos. They don’t feel good enough. ​They’re burned out as hell. ​My clients have a version of themselves they want to be but it always seems out of reach. It's hard to let go of that ideal version of yourself, like it's accepting imperfection. But comparing yourself to that person is eating away at your happiness. It’s possible to be kinder to yourself, to find more patience with yourself and others. Let's find that version of you, together.

Are you feeling "stuck"? Not sure what exactly the problem is but know that something is not right .... Do you feel like no one understands you? Are you feeling anxious, lonely, or depressed? Maybe you have used drugs or alcohol to help you feel better, only to end up feeling worse. If you are tired of struggling- help is available! Overcome self-sabotage, mental health issues or other roadblocks that prevent you from living the life you want. Individuals who are struggling have found my approach to be understanding, motivating and non-judgmental.

Right now mental wellness is at its biggest peak, the pandemic along with everyday life stressors causes a lot of uncertainty. Many may suffer from fear, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship, family issues, etc. Mental health should not be stigmatized and more so exhibited to the public in the same light as our physical health. I believe that in order to be whole we must take the holistic approach, which is focusing on our: mind, body and soul. Because, your peace and happiness matters the most! My name is Crystal McMillon, I graduated from Wayne State University with a Master in Social Work, and currently hold a (LLMSW).

**I am accepting new clients for Telehealth sessions** Are you still having depressed moods, despite being prescribed antidepressants? Are you experiencing anxiety or panic attacks even after having been in psychotherapy? For many people depression and anxiety, as well as other disorders can be difficult to treat successfully. This can be due to unresolved 'developmental trauma', aka, trauma related to the attachment type you had to your parent(s). I am trained in many new treatments based on the latest understanding of brain science, that are effective in treating unresolved developmental trauma, depression, anxiety, etc.

Having worked for many years as a therapist, I have helped adults and adolescents in families, groups and individually. What I find most people are looking for includes a sense of purpose, value and acceptance. People want and need to feel good about themselves and feel important to those they are with including family, work, friendship, and community. We all strive to be the best we can be, to live by our own values, and enjoy our lives to the fullest.

I have personal experience working with children and adolescents, young adults, relationships and life transitions.

I have always had a passion for helping others whether that was through offering encouragement, a listening ear, or uninterrupted quality time. Although most people will not directly say that they are in need of these experiences, every individual regardless of age need these to continue to thrive. Because I am aware of these necessary experiences, I prioritize offering these in both my personal and professional life.

I use a wellness approach to help clients find balance in all the areas of their life. I enjoy helping people find the skills to move past their problems and achieve long-term change. Each person has a unique set of circumstances, skills, and experiences that we can build on to find lasting success. I can help navigate through these processes and I love helping to facilitate that change.
