Chrystal Hedlin, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Chrystal!

I am a social worker providing strength-based therapy services to diverse populations ages 12-99+.

My focus

I typically work with teens and adults with various mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, women's/men's issues, transitions, trauma, relationship issues, self-esteem problems, and existential distress.

My approach

I utilize Motivational Interviewing, CBT, DBT, and client-centered approaches to support clients in reaching personal development goals.

My communication style

I provide a supportive, accepting, and non-judgmental atmosphere in my office that helps clients feel seen and understood.

My journey to mental healthcare

My passion for social work was inspired by my childhood experiences growing up with alcoholic/drug-addicted parents and within the foster care system. I have a passion for at-risk teens and young adults navigating the confusion of autonomy and self-actualization from traumatic/toxic childhood experiences.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting with a positive, collaborative, teamwork attitude.

During your first session, you should expect to feel understood, supported, and inspired for positive change.
