Crystal Portee-Harman

My counseling approach is rooted in a holistic perspective, utilizing a variety of evidence-based therapeutic modalities. I am skilled in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Gestaltism, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques. By integrating these approaches, I provide clients with a comprehensive and tailored treatment experience, addressing their specific needs and goals. In addition to my diverse therapeutic skill set, cultural sensitivity and inclusivity are paramount in the practice. I believes in cultural appropriate therapy, ensuring a safe and unbiased environment for clients from diverse backgrounds. By recognizing and respecting the unique cultural experiences and beliefs of each individual, I creates a space where clients can explore their concerns and challenges without fear of judgment or discrimination. My expertise also extends to relapse prevention techniques, acknowledging the complex nature of addiction and the challenges associated with maintaining long-term recovery. Also, I incorporates relapse prevention strategies into the therapeutic process, equipping clients with the necessary tools and coping skills to navigate potential obstacles and maintain their progress. I have a deep understanding of mental health and the power of therapy is reflected in the following quote: "Mental health is not a destination but a lifelong journey. It's about learning, growing, and embracing our vulnerabilities. It's about seeking support, finding resilience, and rewriting our stories. Together, we can create a brighter tomorrow."
