Therapists in Gilbert, AZ
You’re tired, but not just physically. You’re worn down from overthinking, holding it all together, and being the one everyone leans on while feeling quietly anxious, disconnected, or alone. On the outside, you look like you’re functioning just fine. Inside, your mind doesn’t shut off, your body feels tense, and something feels off.
Maybe you’ve spent years in survival mode—over-giving, over-achieving, managing everything on your own—and now it’s catching up with you. You don’t want to just cope anymore. You want to feel like yourself again.

I opened my practice in 1998 and still LOVE what I do. My model follows a few basic principles: Provide a professional, understanding and calming environment; Offer a variety of tools and skills; Create a plan that recognizes thoughts, emotions and behavior; Evaluate the process and adjust as necessary. Customer Satisfaction is a priority, so many of our referrals come from other clients. I have a professional and friendly front office to provide a large number of services to the East Valley.

Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or not quite like yourself lately? You're not alone- and you weren't meant to carry it all on your own. I help people work through anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges. This might look like feeling on edge, emotionally numb, disconnected from others, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or replaying things you wish had gone differently.
While I specialize in supporting first responders, military veterans, and public safety professionals, I also work with anyone who feels like they've been carrying too much for too long, anyone who wants to work through past trauma, and/or become more regulated.

That nagging feeling that you’re missing the mark. It’s so common for Christians. It may be something concrete - some sin or addiction, or an anger problem, or a lack of trust. Or it might be more vague - like a feeling that there’s something else you should be doing, something you’re really missing. You feel like you’re letting God down, letting your family down, not being a good enough Christian. This is a heavy burden, and it takes a toll on how you see yourself. You might say, "I've got to figure this out!" Or "I just need to pray more." You might get angry at yourself, or angry at God: "Why have you abandoned me?"

I believe the path to wellness involves taking a deeply personal journey back to self. We cannot fully connect with others without first connecting with ourselves. My name is Crystalyn Jones, and I have been a Licensed Counselor in Arizona since 2015. I am an EMDR trained therapist that specializes in complex trauma. I utilize Structural Dissociation Theory along with EMDR to help people integrate parts of themselves and find resolution to unprocessed trauma. Meditation personally changed my life, so I enjoy encompassing mindfulness into my practice and teaching even the busiest minds how to meditate.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families as they navigate through various difficult situations and mental health presentations. Clients are assessed, and with them, a unique, meaningful, and strength-based treatment plan is developed. Meeting clients where they are is the number one priority, and through the use of various therapeutic strategies and a healthy and positive therapeutic relationship, clients are encouraged to identify and work through that which prevents them from living an authentic, rewarding, and fulfilling life.

Choosing the "perfect for me" therapist can seem impossible. I strive to create a space that is safe, warm and inviting. My strengths include listening with a non-judgmental ear, assisting people to develop and use the tools necessary to live more authentically, and improve their relationships and overall quality of life. While taking that first step to begin counseling can be challenging, having the support of someone to assist you in bringing clarity to the internal chaos we often feel can make all the difference in living a more fulfilling life.
