Welcome! My name is Crystal Dudley and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I graduated in 2015 from the University of Colorado Denver, with a degree Counseling Psychology.

Finding out that your partner is a sex addict is a devastating moment in your life and can feel like an emotional roller coaster with many different feelings coming one after another or at the same time.

Allow me to help resolve and overcome the road blocks in your life. I am a licensed counselor that specializes in child, adolescent, and adult issues including trauma, self-esteem, depression, grief/loss, and anxiety. I believe the adjustment to parenthood can be quite challenging and therefore work with new parents in a variety of post partum issues as the transition is made in their new life. I believe when problems are not addressed, they become magnified and all encompassing. I value each individual's therapeutic journey and enjoy the role in helping facilitate this!

If you have experienced trauma in your life and are at a place where most other talk therapies have not helped you. There's hope. Trauma is not an intellectual experience. It's a full body experience. That's why you aren't "getting better" with the mental exercise of regular talk therapy. While it helps to understand your trauma, it will continue to be experienced in the body and the nervous system as physical symptoms. Recovery from trauma is full body, as well as a heart and mind experience.

Honoring mind, body, & spirit, I use a heart-centered, intuitive, holistic approach to therapy. With 30 years of experience, I am skilled at identifying core wounds, blind spots, and trauma that may be preventing you from living a healthy, happy, and authentic life. If you feel depressed, anxious, disconnected from yourself or others, or you recognize or suspect that unhealed trauma is impacting your life, together we will harness your inner strength, resilience, and new perspectives to help you heal. My warm, direct, and compassionate style can help you feel comfortable, understood, and safe.

I specialize in treating trauma/PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety,parenting and relationship issues, military issues and personality disorders.

Hello, and welcome! I am dedicated to partnering with you to create a life worth living in the midst of challenges and painful experiences. I provide a warm and nonjudgmental space to tap into your strengths, develop new insights and skills, understand and express your emotions, and truly love yourself. I believe we are designed to experience a range of emotions that provide information about our needs and values. We tend to feel stuck when we attempt to avoid our emotional experiences, leaving us depleted, hopeless, invalidated, and confused. I hope to meet you where you are as you heal and develop greater self-compassion.

My practice uses many techniques to work with folks who have had difficult experiences. These experiences can make people feel stuck, act out in ways that are hard to understand, and feel as though they are re-creating ineffective past patterns. It is possible to feel better, and I want to help.

Counseling can be a very rewarding experience and help with many different concerns that you may be facing. I believe that balance is an essential part of happiness, and when one aspect of our life becomes out of balance, we often experience distress and discontent. It is important that therapeutic work be tailored to your specific needs to address your concerns. Everyone is unique and the problems that people are facing are never the same. My purpose is to restore balance back into your life by using an integrative approach. When selecting interventions I take many factors into consideration.

Do you or a loved one struggle with trauma, grief/loss, depression/anxiety, or disturbing memories?

I would love the opportunity to show you how strength based holistic counseling, neurofeedback, somatic therapy and EMDR, can help remove barriers to healing and move towards Inner Peace. The power of healing lies from within.
