 I believe the path to wellness involves taking a deeply personal journey back to self. We cannot fully connect with others without first connecting with ourselves. My name is Crystalyn Jones, and I have been a Licensed Counselor in Arizona since 2015. I am an EMDR trained therapist that specializes in complex trauma. I utilize Structural Dissociation Theory along with EMDR to help people integrate parts of themselves and find resolution to unprocessed trauma. Meditation personally changed my life, so I enjoy encompassing mindfulness into my practice and teaching even the busiest minds how to meditate.

I specialize in Complex Trauma, EMDR, Structural Dissociation Theory & Addictions. I am TRIPP certified to conduct Medication Assisted Psychotherapy to help integrate psychedelic experiences. I utilize various modalities from theoretical approaches including: EMDR, Structural Dissociation, DBT, CBT, REBT, ACT & Motivational Interviewing. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Arizona State University in 2007 and my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from University of Phoenix in 2015. The path to wellness was never intended to be walked alone and seeking support can allow us to reach our highest potential. There is hope.

I have worked in direct clinical practice with clients suffering from anxiety, depression, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.  I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Play Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Yoga and Mindfulness. My services are available in  Spanish and English. 

Whether it is your first-time seeking therapy or your 100th time, reaching out can feel intimidating.

As a compassionate counselor in training, I am dedicated to providing person-centered, holistic, and collaborative care that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit. Together, we will explore various therapeutic techniques tailored to your unique needs, desires, and goals, supporting your well-being and growth.

My background includes working with children, studying criminal justice and victimology, and assisting veterans and their families in achieving their educational aspirations. As the proud daughter of an Air Force Veteran and the wife of an Army Veteran, I am deeply passionate about the military community. My cherished grandfather, who dedicated over 40 years as a mortician, has also shaped my understanding of life, grief, and the challenges we face.

Through the stories of my loved ones, the individuals I have been privileged to meet, and my own life experiences, I have gained a unique perspective on the struggles we encounter and the ways we heal. Each of us faces challenges in different forms and intensities, but we all have the potential to thrive and find joy in our lives.

The Lord did not intend for us to undertake this journey alone. Come as you are, from wherever you may be. Let us embark on this path together.

The Lord bless you and keep you;

the Lord make his face shine on you

and be gracious to you;

the Lord turn his face toward you

and give you peace.

Numbers 6:24-26 - NIV

  Hi there! I strongly believe that life's challenges can sometimes leave us feeling confused, hopeless, and hurt. My mission is to walk alongside my clients ages 6 and up, as they embark on their journey of self-discovery and healing. Together, we collaboratively work towards creating the meaningful  connections they seek. 

 My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from Psychodynamic theory and the lens of  Relational Cultural Therapy. I aim to assist my clients in identifying maladaptive patterns,  healing from past experiences, and gaining insight into how their past unconsciously influences  their behavior. With training in CBT, DBT, and Trauma-Focused CBT, I am equipped to address  a wide range of issues including ADHD, trauma, relational difficulties, anxiety, depression,  attachment struggles, behavioral issues, and life adjustments. I also incorporate mindfulness  interventions into my sessions.

  My goal is to create a safe space that fosters trust, open communication, and empathy so that  my clients can discover what a life worth living looks like for them.

As a counselor, I strive to build therapeutic relationships with my clients and to provide a safe, accepting, judgment free environment for them to learn, heal, and grow. This not only includes discovering the tools you already possess, but also learning more strategies and identifying additional strengths to overcome the obstacles you face in your life. Part of this work involves changing the challenging thoughts and beliefs that are holding you back, and replacing those thoughts and beliefs with encouraging and empowering self-perceptions.

I have experience working with clients from ages 5-65 years of age and see both couples and individuals. I generally work with Anxiety, Depression, Adjustment Disorder, Chronic Trauma. Issues I have experience with are low self-esteem, divorce, relational issues, anger management, social anxiety, low motivation, life stressors, etcetera. My main theoretical approaches are CBT, DBT, and Rogerian/Client-Centered, but I have incorporated differing kinds of approaches and interventions such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivation Interviewing, Psychoanalysis and more.

Now accepting new clients! WEEKDAY AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS. BOTH IN-PERSON and FLEXIBLE TELEHEALTH OPTIONS.

Let’s get real. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Seeking out a therapist who can help you on that path is the first step. How can I help you?

Many people see therapy as a very one-sided conversation, with little opportunity for interaction or getting to experience each other as real people. In my approach, you will find that I keep it real! I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing both yourself and your world in new ways. Your therapy does not always need to be painful.

Our lives are too short to surrender to bad relationships, hold grudges, let trauma control us, or be anxious/angry all the time. You deserve to be free of emotional pain and able to take everything that comes your way and respond to it with wisdom and peace. You deserve to find meaning/purpose in work, family, friendships, spirituality, and all other life areas.

I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Gottman approaches (Couples therapy). I can utilize other modalities as needed. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, depression, substance addictions, sexual addictions/disorders, and couples counseling. I have a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northern Arizona University which builds on over twenty years of work with clients in community corrections. I have helped individuals and couples find healing and understanding in desperate situations. Give me a call and let’s continue to write your story!
