It takes strength and courage to accept when one can't handle parts of life, and so, I commend you. As a therapist, I accompany clients exactly where they are while offering unconditional acceptance and respect without judgement to build a safe and inviting counseling environment.

I treat ALL issues from adolescent to elderly within individual, couple, family, or group settings. Chronic Illness, Infertility, Miscarriage, Child Loss, Adoption, First Responders, Trauma, Abuse, Neglect & Adolescents are some of my interests.

Accepting New Couples Clients in September, 2024. I provide caring support to individuals and couples. I strive to join clients where ever they are on their emotional and mental health journey without judgment or agenda. With couples therapy, I use my training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy & Gottman Couples Therapy to help couples learn to break unhealthy relationship patterns, learn new ways to communicate and deepen their emotional connection. I also work with individuals who are transitioning out of a relationship or into a new one and individuals seeking healing from anxiety, grief, trauma, loss or life transitions.

You have many choices when it comes to picking a counselor/therapist, but what is the most important thing to consider when choosing? Does the person appear to be kind? Do they have the qualifications to serve you? Does he/she make you feel comfortable and ease the anxiety you might be feeling regarding sharing such personal information so quickly? How does the office environment feel (telehealth or in the office)? More importantly, how quickly do you feel your exact problem is being addressed?

As a society, we have grown distant from each other, alone in many phases of life. We experience life situations alone and repeat problematic patterns not knowing how to change or cope. As a psychotherapist I am spiritually based and believe the family is the foundation which supports the healthy development of it's member's. As a clinician I seek to develop therapeutic relationships which prepare the person for change which positively impact their life. For over 20 years I have worked with families, couples, individuals and children in a wide variety of psychological, emotional, behavioral and cognitive challenges.

Hi, my name is Crystal Amador, a Licensed Professional Counselor with years of experience in career counseling, grief counseling, and serving the military community. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Sociology and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am drawn to a variety of ages and cultures as a therapist. Whether you find yourself affected by the current state of the world, stuck at a crossroad, or suffering from mental health disorders, let me guide you through your road to recovery. I will teach you coping skills and empower you to learn more about your mental health.

Trauma and loss can leave you feeling disconnected and alone. You may struggle with anger, depression, and self-blame. You may question who you are or your life's purpose. In therapy, I can help you rediscover your strengths and begin to reconnect. I will compassionately guide you through your most difficult experiences to achieve a new sense of self, strength, and peace.

My approach is to accept you regardless of your religion, race, ethical background, sexual orientation, or gender. This is also what I practice in my personal life. Regardless of what you say or do, I provide the comfort and acceptance for you to express your thoughts and feelings without judgment. I develop a personal plan of focus geared specifically to what you want out of counseling. I also believe by building a strong therapeutic relationship with my client, it allows meaningful and effective therapy - this is the foundation for the healing process.

Investing time into better understanding and developing yourself is one of the most pivotal decisions that you can make. Self-awareness and self-care are important for success. Life can feel overwhelming at times and can be difficult to manage. Change can challenge our ability to navigate. Thankfully, you don’t have to navigate life’s transitions alone. I'm passionate about working with my clients to gain an understanding of both their past and present stressors, while discovering tools for healing and growth. Together we can explore what gives your life purpose, hope and meaning and discover new paths for living your best life.

A favorite saying of mine is "CHANGE... It's One of Life's Only Constants..." Change often signifies growth. Changes often move us from our comfort zone and may trigger stressful or distressing thoughts, behaviors, emotions or physiological responses. Our responses are often unconscious. Except we consciously recognize increased discomfort, pain or unproductive functioning in our daily roles and relationships. If you or a family member are experiencing any social, emotional, mental or behavioral difficulties causing distress & preventing enjoying life or realizing your or their full potential in personal, work or school functioning, I invite you to call me.

We all deserve to feel at home and safe in our bodies and minds, and it’s my passion to help others find this place. Are you in need of affordable and flexible counseling? Do you feel stressed, overwhelmed, confused, or frustrated with life? Are you seeking support, guidance, and understanding? Do you feel you have little support, and no one to talk to or listen? Are you seeking self-empowerment? Are you seeking to overcome life’s challenges and reach your personal goals? You came to the right profile. Here at Ellie Mental Heath, we accept self-pay and insurance. Hit me up to schedule your appointment.

When our lives are disrupted by unforeseen events, it's important to have support to process through emotions, move forward, and heal. I am a bilingual, Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor and a retired Texas public school counselor and educator. My background includes working with adults, adolescents, and children in private practice, school, and facility settings. My treatment approach is client focused as I believe the therapist's function should be dependent upon the client and their specific needs.

I work with adults ages 19+. I have experience working with individuals, couples, and groups. I am a trauma based, and focused clinician. As a trauma informed clinician I work well with many groups of individuals that have experienced forms of trauma at different or constant points in their lives. I specialize in working with active military, veterans, first responders, and those with cooccurring disorders. I have experience with diverse populations and am multiculturally informed. I am curious of your lived experience. Although it may be the source of the pain you carry unseen, I believe in it we can also find your place to heal.
