More about Trudy

  • 18 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

Welcome, my name is Trudy. I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW), and I have been working in the field of mental health for over 18 years. I love what I do, and that is why I do it.

Education:

Walden University - Human Services Administration - Graduate Certificate - 2014

University of Arkansas-Little Rock - Social Work - MSW - 2007

University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff - Social Work - BSW - 2005

Experience:

I have worked primarily in the outpatient treatment setting, with individuals with a variety of mental health and stress-related issues since 2005. My journey working in mental health began with a co-ed inpatient substance abuse treatment facility where I taught relaxation techniques, anger management, stress reduction, and coping strategies. From there, I evolved into the outpatient community mental health arena. I have served as an on-call therapist, group therapist, individual therapist, family therapist, and couples/marriage therapist. I have significant experience in dealing with self-harm and alternative coping strategies as well.

While I have worked with all diagnoses, I have a passion for stress reduction, relaxation, depression, anxiety, and grief counseling. I lean toward Cognitive Behavior Therapy(CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MBCBT), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/Tapping), but I also have experience with Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). I teach meditation techniques and mindfulness practices. I am also a certified Reiki Master, a Life Coach, and an active member of the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology.

You have now entered a space that is safe and built for you to feel supported and improve your life! Welcome!

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.

Trudy is awesome. Never had a better therapist and I hope to continue with my therapy as long as I can.

Reviewed January 2022

Trudy offers clients a combination of research-based therapy supports and old-fashioned (and sometimes humorous) common sense. The blend of her education in social sciences and homespun wisdom is a delight. She is very helpful, thoughtful, listens very well, and feeds back to the client useful reflections, tools, stories...and sometimes allegories. The books, articles, and worksheets she has recommended have also been timely, relevant, and helpful. I have enjoyed working with her!

I find Trudy Crow to be an excellent therapist. She provides a very relaxing and trustworthy atmosphere. I feel like I can tell her anything without fear of judgement. I highly recommend her services.

Trudy LISTENS and validates. She is authentic. I've felt myself healing. It's taken a long time to get here because I've been strung along with other therapists but not with her.

Reviewed June 2021

I won't pretend that every counselor or therapist is for everyone. But, Trudy? She'll give it her best shot, and lemme tell ya... it's a damn good shot. She's intuitive kind, honest, and doesn't shy away from the hard (or even truly dark) stuff. Every appointment feels like a conversation, there's never any pressure but Always understanding and compassion. She won't throw you a pity party but she will make sure you don't feel alone even just by yourself. Her insight is innately human, and if you've met your share of therapists then you know what I mean when they're not "human" with you. TL:DR Trudy may not be for you, but if you need someone to listen, share, and feel better (even snag some good guidance and insight), then she should definitely be on your list.

I was not able to make time for therapy sessions, which was making life even more difficult, as I explained this to Trudy, she went well above and beyond to help me, well outside of her role as a therapist.
