Therapist

Some things sit at the intersection of your body, your history, and your identity all at once. Chronic illness that no one takes seriously. Fertility struggles that feel isolating. Postpartum experiences that do not match what anyone told you to expect. The grief of a life chapter ending. Most therapists are not trained to hold all of that. That is exactly where I work.

I am Dr. Crystal Holt, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a doctorate and sixteen years of experience working with adolescents and adults. I bring a cultural fluency and lived awareness into the room that credentials alone cannot teach. I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic conditions, infertility, maternal mental health, and the full, complicated range of what it means to be a person navigating a world that does not always slow down long enough to let you heal.

Hi! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who supports kids, teens, young adults, and caregivers who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in survival mode. My clients often come to me when they're tired of repeating the same patterns, struggling with confidence, or carrying heavy experiences from the past.

I help clients break old cycles, build self-worth, and feel more grounded. You don’t need to show up perfect or have all the answers. I meet you exactly where you are, at your pace, with no judgment.

I’m here to help you understand your story, build healthier patterns, and feel more grounded and confident in yourself.
