Dr. Crystal Molyneaux

Psychologist

Virtual • New York


If you have ever felt out of place, weighed down by societal expectations, or unsure of where you fit in, you are not alone. As I always tell my clients: "there is no normal; normal is subjective."

My name is Dr. Crystal Molyneaux. As a Licensed Psychologist and New Jersey Certified School Psychologist with a Psy.D. focused on multiculturalism, I help individuals liberate their minds from rigid external standards so they can truly thrive. I believe that individual healing is the catalyst for stronger families and communities.

My practice is rooted in a profound respect for diverse populations. I provide a dedicated, supportive space for those navigating legal and societal disparities, systemic disadvantages, or a fractured sense of belonging. Your unique story matters here.
