Crystal is a truly exceptional therapist. From the very beginning, she created a space where I felt safe, seen, and understood. She’s deeply empathetic and a great listener, but what really stands out is how her guidance aligns with me, my goals, my values, and my lifestyle. She knows when to gently challenge me and has helped me grow in ways I never thought possible. Through our work together, I’ve learned tools to navigate my trauma and reclaim a sense of safety and empowerment in my life. I’m so grateful for her care, insight, and presence. She’s truly wonderful.

Welcome,
I’m truly honored to support you in creating your best life. We all have something we’re working on or working through, and it’s my goal to help guide you through that journey. I believe we each possess unique strengths—sometimes hidden—that, once recognized, can transform the way we approach life’s challenges.
As a divorced single mother, I’ve experienced the many facets of life—the beauty, the hardship, and everything in between. It’s this combination of personal experience and professional training that allows me to connect with and support my clients in a deep and meaningful way.
I use a variety of therapeutic modalities, tailoring your experience to you—because no two people are the same, and therapy should reflect that.
I specialize in areas such as divorce, separation, anxiety, trauma, and depression. I genuinely look forward to meeting you and working together to help you move closer to the goals you have for yourself.
Once we schedule your first session, I’ll ask you to complete two brief forms: a HIPAA form and an intake questionnaire. This intake allows me to gain a holistic understanding of who you are so that we can begin our work together with clarity and intention right from the start.
Warmly,
Crystal Rischer MSW, LCSW

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
