NOW OFFERING IN PERSON AND TELE-THERAPY FOR CLIENTS IN GEORGIA!!
Most of our clients choose to work with us because we believe each partner has a valid perspective that deserves to be heard. We know people make mistakes. Sometimes those mistakes seem unforgivable. We have a guide that we use that can help you build the trust necessary for the connection you will need to repair your relationship.
Our guide is Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), a clinically validated model that works to allow couples to see safety in each other. We use EFT to seek to understand your underlying emotions and how previous experiences effect your perspective in your current relationship.
Once empathy and compassion is felt, then the blaming and criticism that plagues your relationship can stop, and real communication can begin. As your relationship therapist, we will allow space for safety for both of you.
The work we do together can help you to feel heard, felt, understood and supported.
We do not take insurance, though if you have out-of-network coverage we can provide a receipt for reimbursement. We are only licensed for clients in the state of Georgia.
Today is good day to start...let CURA know what we can work best in your schedule.

Crystal is a Godsent! My husband and I both thoroughly benefited from her counseling. Her homework strengthened our relationship. We haven't been this close since we were newlyweds. My husband felt understood and listened to. Our communication together is now our favorite part about each other. We came in wanting to fix one problem we were having, and it opened up to so much more. Thank you, Crystal. You are truly awesome.

Hi had a very positive first session with Crystal. She was attentive, friendly and understanding, and it was obvious she is very experienced at what she does. Her manner is professional, and she puts you at ease from the beginning. She places focus on progression and the identifying tools and methods necessary to achieve hoped for outcomes. I highly Crystal based on the helpful, enlightening experience I had with her.

Crystal is a phenomenal therapist! From the moment I spoke with her on the phone, I could tell she would be the perfect bridge to connect my husband and me to new perspectives and ways of processing. You know she must be awesome if your spouse thinks the same...lol! I've already told many of my friends about her. This has been one of the best investments we could ever make for our relationship, and for that I'm the utmost grateful! Who would've thought that difficult issues could be FUN to approach?

I absolutely love Crystal!! From our first session, I could tell she is very passionate and knowledgeable about her work. She is VERY relatable and easy to talk to. She has opened our eyes to better communication techniques and how to listen to one another. We were terrified going into counseling and now we are 5 sessions in so far and we can already see the benefits in our relationship. She brings a different perspective to us and allows us to think ways to continue to grow without judgement. She has shared great books to read, ideas and tips to grow and the time together always goes by so fast... we are truly enjoying the easier and hard session together. She’s worth it!!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Relationship & Individual Therapy: $195 per 50 minute session; $290 for the initial assessment for 75 minutes
I do not directly bill insurance companies. You may use out-of-network insurance coverage for reimbursement; I will provide a receipt for you if you have that coverage.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When first approached by a potential client, my greatest desire is make him/her feel comfortable: both with the process and me. I want to answer questions about the first session including what to expect, address concerns about the therapy process and offer assurance that I am trained to help.
Couples meet with me as a couple to help me get to know them, their strengths and challenges in the relationship. Then I meet with each partner individually to learn about who each person is and how s/he came to be that way so that I can fully support each partners needs. The next sessions are a deep dive in to relationship repair work. I will allow a safe space to share needs, hurts and joys.
Individual clients will begin our work together by stating his/her goals, stating current challenges then uncovering the origin, and starting on a path to personal success.
Therapy is not always fun, but it is my belief that your path to self discovery, personal growth and self awareness will be worth it!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Master of Marriage and Family Therapy;
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy- Advanced Training;
Gottman Level 1 Training
