Guru Shabd Khalsa

My communication style

I take a curious and supportive stance; you are the expert in your experience, and I am here to reflect, support, encourage, and offer accountability. I use humor and empathy. It's important to me to maintain cultural humility in my sessions.

My journey to mental healthcare

Crystalline Therapy came into being after my own healing journey — a practice shaped by clarity, compassion, and the belief that transformation is always possible. There was a time I wasn't kind to myself, and the path to clarity helped me reconnect with my voice, reclaim who I wanted to be, and ultimately offer that same space of growth and care.

My goals for you

We will focus on progress, not perfection. I have experience working in the following modalities: Strength-Based, Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Attachment-Based, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Relational, Brief Dynamic, Trauma-Focused CBT, Psychodynamic, and Positive Psychology.

Our first session

Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. I'll walk you through how I practice, complete an initial assessment, and begin exploring the goals or concerns that brought you to therapy. You are the expert in your experience — my role is to offer support, tools, and space as you move toward the version of yourself you want.
