About

It Seems Like Healing Is for Everyone Else. The anxiety lingers.. The sadness remains. Those memories still haunt you. You wonder if you’re just not faithful enough.

You Go to Church to Get Stronger. You listen to the sermon with folded hands and a heavy heart. It’s about trust and surrender – giving your burdens to God.

And that’s what you do:

You pray harder.

You read more scripture.

You tell yourself that faith should be enough.

But the Pain Remains

You’ve begun to tell yourself that your liberation ain’t gonna happen – that there’s a weight you’ll always bear alone.
But deep down, you realize that’s a shameful resignation from your spiritual walk.

Faith isn’t a hiding place from pain. Faith Is a Companion in Your Healing

Those questions you have – the ones you’re afraid to say out loud? The ones about Him, to Him? They echo inside you, waiting to be faced, not silenced.

The Bible tells us that the truth will set us free. But freedom requires something from us. God wants us to stop hiding, stop pretending, and step into the process. Therapy Is an Act of Trust. It’s not a sign of failing faith. We live in a fallen world, and just as our bodies need care, so do our minds. Therapy is trusting God enough to use the tools He’s provided. It’s allowing Him full access to the deepest parts of your heart, even the ones you’ve spent years locking away.

As a practicing Christian, I understand that faith itself is a journey.
We’ll start wherever you are, combining effective therapy with the faith-based principles and values that ground you.

You don’t have to keep carrying this alone.

Crystal Lawson

LCSW
I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience in the field. I enjoy using approaches like EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my work. They are powerful tools that allow us the opportunity to process the parts of our story that would otherwise be overwhelming. I know because I have used them in my own journey.
Because of that journey, I also know that choosing to trust me to join your process is not a small thing, and building genuine relationships with my clients is at the center of who I am and what I do. I will ask you hard questions, offer challenging thoughts, and be honest in my observations. I will also honor the risk you are taking, focus on helping you find your own voice again (not mine!), protect the safe space I get the privilege of giving, and celebrate big every inch forward.
