ABOUT Crystal
Like many of us, my informal education about mental health began in my family of origin. These early experiences fuel my curiosity about human behaviour, motivation, personality, resilience and growth. I took a long and winding path to earn my Masters of Social Work degree from the University of Manitoba and am a Registered Social Worker with the Manitoba College of Social Workers.
Therapy is as much about learning as it is about un-learning. I'm passionate about supporting people to identify, challenge and replace negative core beliefs (i.e.: "I'm not good enough", "I can't trust people", "I'm a failure", "there's something wrong with me") with adaptive, affirming beliefs. With compassion, skill, and a healthy dose of humour, I invite you to get curious about the parts of yourself that feel stuck, lost or broken. By befriending these parts they inevitably learn to soften the never-ending list of "shoulds", judgements, and fears, so that you can live a more authentic and meaningful life.
I enjoy working with people that have insight into their struggles and are motivated to balance the tension between acceptance and change. It is my honour to witness people bravely address the root causes of their suffering so they can live with more confidence, ease, and inner peace.
SERVICES
I provide one-on-one therapy sessions for adults (18 years of age or over) who live in the province of Manitoba, Canada.
I offer a free 15 minute consult (phone or virtual) for us to determine if my services are a good fit for you.
60 minute sessions = $130.00
90 minute sessions = $200.00
Sessions can be held in person OR virtually - using a secure, confidential and user-friendly platform.
As a Registered Social Worker, my services are covered under most insurance plans. Please check with your insurance provider prior to booking your first session. I do not provide direct billing.
Payment is due within 2 days of the session and is accepted by e-transfer, credit card, cash or cheque.
