I'm Krystal Haas, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in the Hudson Valley, NY. I love working with clients from around ages 5-30, and have worked with these age groups since the beginning of my career as a therapist. Therapy can be heavy, since we will have to discuss difficult subjects, and you will have to put in work. But, I also think talking about your hobbies, having a good laugh, and even playing a game of Uno, can be therapeutic in its own right, too. It's about balance. Depending on your age (or your child's), I will use a tailored approach to help you reach your goals and support you along the way. Sessions are typically individual, but parent check-ins are welcome when the client is a minor to ensure that parents are on the same page with their child's treatment. For little ones, I use a mix of play and educational interventions. For teens and young adults, I tend to use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and will also draw from dialectical-behavioral therapy (DBT) and motivational interviewing. Understandably, this may sound like gibberish - these terms aren't used often outside of the therapy world. You're welcome to call or use this website to schedule a free 15 minute consultation, and we can discuss any questions you have, and if I may be a good fit for you or your child.
