Crystal Havins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a strong foundation in trauma-informed care and more than a decade of experience supporting individuals, families, and groups through mental health and substance use recovery. Her approach blends clinical expertise with deep empathy, shaped by her own personal journey of healing and self-discovery.
Crystal earned her Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California and has held her clinical license since 2022. She specializes in working with individuals experiencing co-occurring disorders, anxiety, mood disorders, substance use, and trauma-related challenges. She draws from a toolkit of evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), tailoring each treatment plan to meet her clients' specific needs and goals.
With a rich professional background that includes leadership and supervisory roles across recovery homes, private practice, hospitals, and behavioral health programs, Crystal is known for creating compassionate, culturally responsive spaces where healing and growth can thrive. She works with children, adolescents, and adults, and has particular expertise in serving marginalized populations, including BIPOC communities, veterans, LGBTQ+ individuals, neurodiverse clients, and survivors of trauma.
Crystal believes that self-understanding, accountability, and grace are key to resolving inner conflict and creating a healthier, more balanced life. She empowers clients to explore their identities, build resilience, and embrace recovery as an adventurous and rewarding process.
Outside of her therapeutic work, Crystal enjoys hiking, gardening, camping, and taking spontaneous road trips with loved ones. She brings this same spirit of curiosity and authenticity into every session, helping clients rediscover their strengths and rewrite their stories with confidence.
