I specialize in sex therapy and relationship counseling for LGBTQ+, gender-expansive, kink-involved, and consensually non-monogamous adults. You may feel capable and self-aware in most areas of life yet unsettled in your closest relationships. Together, we will connect the dots between present triggers and earlier relational experiences so recurring patterns can be understood and shifted with intention.

Crystal Broughton

Crystal Broughton

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Conyers, GA


My name is Crystal Broughton. I am the founder of Milestone Counseling & Wellness, LLC (MCW) and lead therapist with a faith-based approach. As a licensed professional counselor, my mission is to provide the environment that fosters growth and resilience to help those feel empowered and reclaim their lives.

One of my strengths is my ability to listen...to hear YOU; in a non judgmental space. I provide you a space to release, search and identify what you need. Your narrative is the key to your healing and growth on your journey. Our life experiences influence the people we touch in our lives; our relationships, our jobs, our children. I'd love to listen to you.

I am a Master level, fully licensed and Nationally Certified Clinician. I understand the necessity of a safe place to discover healing & growth. We all experience levels of anxiety, depression, existential, and family/social conflict that hinders us from moving forward. The one thing we forget is that we don't have to endure it alone.
