About Me
Welcome, I am Cherstan 'CC' Crawford, a seasoned therapist with a passion for guiding individuals on their journey to healing and growth. I specialize in working with individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, codependency, self-esteem issues, race and ethnicity concerns, and life transitions. I am dedicated to providing support to people of all ethnicities, religions, and cultural backgrounds, valuing diversity and inclusion in every aspect of my practice.
My therapy philosophy centers around empowering you with education, skills, and tools to better understand yourself and navigate life's complexities. I believe that each of us holds the answers we seek within ourselves, and my role is to support you in accessing that inner wisdom and intuition.
My purpose is to help you release the fear that keeps you feeling stuck and uncertain, guiding you on a journey back to self-discovery and empowerment. Success, in my eyes, is when you feel equipped with the tools, knowledge, and insights needed to blossom as your truest and highest self.
