Therapists in Grass Valley, CA

If you or your child is suffering from depression, anxiety, relational problems, eating disorders, ADHD, the effect of trauma, grief, loss, as well as a mood or personality disorder, I can help you develop skills in your present life aimed at restoring healthy and meaningful strategies in your daily experience.

Caring, compassionate counseling to help clients move forward through challenges and make positive life changes. I work with individuals and couples to address relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, trauma, stress management, low self-esteem, perfectionism, and new pathways for personal growth. While working with individuals, clients set the goals that they wish to address. My role is to listen, encourage, and guide clients in a process of self-discovery and self-mastery. Sometimes clients are trying to heal from past trauma and move forward. Sessions offer support for healing and learning new healthy ways to live.

Most of my clients come to me because they feel “stuck” in their lives. They may feel stuck in unfulfilling patterns, a trauma cycle, a sense of purposelessness, grief, depression or anxiety. They may be caught in an oppressive societal perspective of what it means to be “healthy.” In most cases, these symptoms are not enemies, but indicators that something new – a new perspective, a new story – is attempting to emerge, like a sapling pushing its way from beneath the ground.

I am currently accepting adult clients for Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. Are you struggling to find center in a world that is constantly moving out from under your feet? It is possible to find stability in chaos. Are you straining to find pleasure in your daily experience? Do you find yourself pushing away the people you love most while you yearn for the soft heart of connection? It can be terrifying to share your pain with another. While life may feel overwhelming and impossible despite your best efforts, it doesn’t have to be this way forever. You can live with greater inner stability, more joy, and nourishing relationships.

What often brings an individual to therapy is encountering the trials and challenges that life inevitably serves up. If you are struggling to overcome or even cope with the challenges you face I offer you my support in your journey to a more peaceful and fulfilling life. I understand that each client has a unique life situation and history. My goal is to provide an environment that is compassionate, safe and nonjudgmental so that we can identify and achieve the therapeutic goals you desire.

Do you often feel isolated or overwhelmed? Do you constantly feel hurried? Our lives can present us with situations that cause us to question everything we thought we knew. Sometimes painful issues from your past like sexual abuse or other painful childhood experiences resurface. During these times, it can feel hopeless: causing anxiety or depression. Balancing these concerns among our busy lives causes stress and affect relationships with partners and children. Sometimes disagreements about how to parent also adds extra strain. You are not alone.

My name is Crystal Clune and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in working with children and adolescents and teens. I have worked with school-age children since 2009. My approach to therapy is very client-centered and strength-based. I believe that the client is the expert of themselves and sometimes they just need guidance in re-finding their true selves. I work with all school-age children (ages 5-19) that are struggling with depression, anxiety, family issues, school issues, behavioral issues at home and at school, self-esteem, and trauma.

I would be honored to help you in self-discovery and change. It takes a lot of courage to travel down that path. I often can intuit the key issues underlying a person’s suffering, which are often relational-both within ourselves and with others. To be kind and yet direct, and to really see you-both as you are now and how you want to become more whole. Finding clarity, compassion, and new ways to effectively deal with problems are essential in therapy. I will help you find where you are stuck and ways to get unstuck, by changing how you process both your thoughts and feelings. I work with both adults and couples.

Imagine seeking deeper meaning in your life, grappling with unresolved trauma, inner conflicts, and a longing for personal growth. You yearn for self-empowerment, liberation from past burdens, and a path to your own sovereignty.

I understand that seeking therapy can be a significant step, especially when facing various challenges. If you're in California, I want you to know that I offer telehealth therapy, including evening appointments. As your therapist, my approach is rooted in empathy, compassion, and cultural sensitivity. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where you feel heard and understood. With my experience, I can assist you in setting meaningful goals for your therapy journey. I have experience with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds including LGBTQI and BIPOC. Your mental health is important & I care about your well being.

Having a guide who has experienced life's traumas, and hardships, provides a level of understandings that fosters caring insights. Which encourages deep exploration toward self-discovery. Uncovering internal wisdoms. Where personal courage can lead, allowing an authentic way of being, which becomes the healing process.

It takes courage to address pain, childhood wounds, traumas and unresolved beliefs and patterns which negatively impact relationships, emotions, goals, motivation and sense of self. I deeply believe in one's innate knowledge and capacity to heal, and aspire toward wholeness. I teach simple tools and practices, in addition to supporting you on your journey. This empowers your vision, your heart, and your perception of the world around you, creating healthier relationships and increased joy. My practice includes: relationship issues, depression, trauma, addiction, family conflict, grief, life changes and children's behavioral issues.

As a Kindred Heart Therapy Group clinician, I understand that life can be difficult, and at times the challenges may feel impossible. A variety of reasons can prompt the decision to seek therapy. Whether it be a traumatic experience, a life transition, or another reason, I can help navigate challenges in your life in a way that works for you. I work with individuals and couples to explore their emotions and experiences in a safe environment that can increase understanding and help them reach their goals.

Are you struggling with anxiety and/or depression and looking for support? Is trauma from the past affecting your functioning and relationships? Have you recently lost someone and experiencing grief? I offer a warm and compassionate space for you to share you story, process any feelings arising, and further guide you to identify and heal the patterns and wounds that are holding you back. Providing personalized tools and exercises (now including optional Ketamine assisted psychotherapy) to feel well-resourced both in and outside of session, we can work together to create a healing experience that works best for you and your needs.

Nothing is more difficult than relationships. And nothing means more to you. All of us are hard-wired to be in relationship, to care for and be cared for by others. But what do you do when differences lead to never-ending battles because you never get close to the real issues? Or when withdrawal leads to resentments that are never addressed at all. I would like to help you remember your strengths that brought you together in the first place, feel relief as you share what is important to you, and appreciate each other's differences, which may really be a strength.

Worried? Anxious? Blue? Feelings can be the result of your situation,or they can be triggered by deeper issues such as attachment, trauma, and unprocessed memories. EMDR "turbocharges" the processing of painful memories. Adults, teens, and children with a history of abuse, trauma, and loss can heal quickly. I also specialize in resolving relationship issues and helping families become stronger. Whether you need help to navigate life transitions or to realize your full potential for emotional growth, therapy is a highly interactive process. Together we develop a plan for treatment involving care and commitment. Feel better!

I love seeing people grow and overcome obstacles that previously seemed insurmountable! I work with couples and adult individuals. You may seek help with your partner when you feel like you're stuck in a loop where the harder you try to work things out, the more you wind up hurting each other. You may come on your own if you've hit a rough patch and need help regaining your equilibrium. My job, as I see it, is to join you and help you unpack your thoughts and feelings with an eye toward building a brighter future.

Are you feeling anxious or depressed? Are you unsure how to get the life you want? Are you the parent of a child or teen and you can see that they are struggling? Sometimes negative thinking, anxious thoughts, unhealthy relationship patterns, previous traumas, (or something else) holds us back from reaching our true potential. It's during these times, that it's difficult to see your value and the strengths you bring to yourself and others. It doesn't have to stay this way. Therapy is an opportunity for you to work with someone to get the life you have always wanted - and to feel good again!
