Every person has their own reasons for seeking therapy. Some choose it during a period of major life transitions or hardships, while others may seek out therapy in order to deepen their understanding of themselves. By using a psychodynamic and object relations model I am able to consider the whole person rather than pure symptom reduction. I believe there is both conscious and unconscious meaning to symptoms.

Not accepting new clients
Becoming a therapist was my first choice, a passion I discovered during my sophomore year as an undergrad. Of course, it was not my first major, as I thought I would attend medical school. However, due to a car accident, I had to take a break from classes with laboratory courses, which led me to psychology. The best methods to pique anyone's interest are, in my opinion, abnormal psychology and personality psychology; they started my passion for learning more. After earning my Bachelor's degree in Psychology, I applied for my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy with a specialty in Latino Family Studies.

My main area of expertise is working through trauma. Diving into past or disturbing memories can be painful, but also brings about inner peace and connection. I thrive to help people connect that bridge and learn how to create compassion for the internal wounded pieces we hold. By creating a judgement free environment, I help people develop a deeper understanding of themselves and focus on positive changes for the future.

Hello and thank you for stopping by! My name is Crystal West, and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California. I have worked with diverse populations across the lifespan and have yet to pick a favorite. I believe that we all develop coping skills based on our life experiences, but for many of us, those skills no longer serve a purpose or may begin to negatively impact our well-being. (i.e., A bullied child may learn to avoid social situations and as an adult, struggles at work or to develop healthy relationships.)

We often find ourselves members of "clubs" we never signed up for. Unexpected "club" memberships might include living with anxiety, complex ptsd/ptsd, divorce, single parenting, the challenges of fostering or adopting, loss of a loved one, on and on. Isolation and shame are common while navigating these "club memberships." My clients are tired of being tired, ready to move from paralysis to growth, and desperate for hope and healing. They want to believe they are worthy of love, hold intrinsic value, and have something positive to bring to the world. They want positive life change and healthy relationships with self and others.

Topics include: trauma, secondary trauma, assault & abuse (physical, emotional, sexual, spiritual), emotional regulation skills, behavioral concerns, anxiety (and anxiety related topics like hoarding, OCD, OCPD, and panic attacks), anger management, grief, suicidal thoughts, cutting, performance growth (music, sports, acting), negative or intrusive thoughts, depression, infertility, and parenting support.
Brainspotting (BSP) allows for a deeper level of healing and processing than talk therapy alone. If you have ever felt stuck, like you just can't get past something whether a trauma or significant event, then I recommend a BSP session to see if it is for you.

Suicidal Ideation Therapists
How does therapy for suicidal ideation work?
Stress, depression, anxiety, or upsetting circumstances can give rise to suicidal thinking. Therapy can address the events at the core of an individual’s suffering. Understanding why a person may be suicidal can help the therapist and the patient discover alternative methods of coping. A person with suicidal ideation may be mired in catastrophic thinking, and treatment like cognitive behavioral therapy is a good choice for breaking such patterns. In addition, treatment such as acceptance and commitment therapy can help a person manage their distress through better emotion regulation.

Which therapies are best for suicidal ideation?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, psychodynamic, acceptance and commitment therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies are two widely used therapies that can help individuals with painful thoughts and past traumas. These therapies help an individual tolerate distress, regulate emotions, and not act on dangerous urges.

Are there specific medications to be combined with therapy?
The use of medication for suicidal thoughts must be aligned with the underlying cause; conditions such as depression, anxiety, and psychosis may be at the root of suicidal ideation. A psychiatrist may prescribe medications for symptoms, which may include antipsychotics such as aripiprazole or antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

How often and how long are therapy sessions for suicidal ideation?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Patients may see improvement within 15 to 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, while others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, perhaps, a six-month period. Still other patients, especially those with co-occurring conditions like major depression and anxiety, may need to continue sessions for up to 12 to 18 months. In some cases, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm.
