Hi, I'm Crystal.

Reaching out for therapy takes courage, and finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. I believe therapy begins with feeling comfortable enough to be yourself while working with someone who genuinely wants to understand your experience.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, stress, or a major life transition, my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported.

Matt Adamson

Matt Adamson

Psychiatrist

Virtual & in-person • 9.2 mi away • Denver, CO


I am a psychiatrist trained in adult psychiatry, though I do have some experience working in adolescent and geriatric psychiatry as well. I try to integrate western medicine approaches to care with more holistic approaches, which often includes providing psychotherapy, medications, and lifestyle modification. I have specific interest in different psychotherapy modalities, and often incorporate some aspects of psychotherapy in my visits with clients even if this is not the primary focus. In my work, I like to focus on your strengths, goals, and values as the main components of our treatment plan. I try to bring a curious, open-minded, and compassionate energy to my work.
