Therapist

Sandy Crisp, MS, LPC, CRC, LCDC, CCTS-II

When surviving isn't enough anymore.

Life can get complicated, painful, and downright exhausting. Sometimes the things you've survived become the very things keeping you stuck. You may be functioning, showing up for everyone else, and doing what needs to be done, but somewhere along the way, you've lost sight of yourself.

I'm Sandy Crisp, a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, and nationally certified trauma specialist. I bring more than 20 years of professional experience helping people navigate trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction, chronic illness, disability, grief, and major life changes.

I work with people who are tired of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. Whether you're struggling with something that happened years ago or trying to make sense of what's happening right now, we'll work on understanding the patterns, emotions, and experiences affecting your life.

You don't need to have a diagnosis or know exactly what's wrong. We can figure that out together.
