Hello...I’m Dr. Crystal Williams, a behavioral scientist and licensed psychotherapist based in Beverly Hills. I've been practicing psychotherapy for 14 years with expertise working with those that struggle with eating disorders. I obtained a Master of Arts degree with a focus in Marriage and Family therapy (MFT) in 2011 and a doctorate degree in Education in 2016. I enjoy using therapeutic modalities such as psychodynamic, CBT, DBT as well as talk therapy. My mission is to help clients identify and understand maladaptive patterns and create a strategy to do it differently. Change is possible with the right support one can accomplish anything.

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.
