Chrystal Dhillon, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Chrystal!

I work mainly with pre-teens, teens, and young adults, helping them navigate life's challenges. I specialize in life adjustments, neurodivergent affirming care, anxiety, trauma, and eating disorders. My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself, reduce stress, and enjoy life again.

My focus

I work with people of all ages, but I specialize in helping teenagers and young adults with anxiety, mild depression, eating disorders, and life changes.

My approach

In my practice, I use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to meet your needs. I am here to support you, help you set goals, and work with you to achieve them.

My communication style

As a therapist, I create a safe and supportive space for you to share your feelings. I'm gentle and approachable, making sure you feel comfortable. I also provide clear and honest feedback to help you heal and grow.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist to help others and provide them with valuable tools for life. Since therapy was uncommon in my culture growing up, it motivated me even more to promote mental health and normalize it for teens and young adults.

My goals for you

Setting goals can really help us. They give us direction and make change easier. I’ll focus on what’s important to you and ensure the goals are realistic. We’ll discuss your reasons for coming to therapy and your hopes for our sessions.

Our first session

During your first session, we'll talk about your needs and past experiences. We'll discuss why you're here and what you want from therapy. This will help us get started and also get to know each other.
