Crystal Jackson

LPC

I’ve known since high school that I was very intrigued with psychology, primarily abnormal psychology. However, I knew that I didn’t want to pursue getting my master’s degree because, by golly, I’d been in school my entire life! I was ready to graduate and start adulting. Upon graduating, I started and stayed in a career in a field that brought absolutely no fulfillment. I wanted to do something I was passionate about. Deep down, I knew what that meant. After years of contemplating, I finally applied for grad school and obtained my master’s degree in professional counseling to fulfill my lifelong dream.

The initial consultation will allow both you and I to determine if we’re a great fit for one another. In this first session, we will discuss what brings you into therapy, the process of therapy, and how we will work together towards reaching your goals.

In the initial session, I conduct what’s known as a psychosocial assessment. This helps me identify your primary concerns and triggers, while possibly uncovering unresolved issues within your past. At the end of the assessment, I compare your chief complaints with issues I’ve identified and together we determine therapeutic goals best suite your needs.
