Considering making some changes in your life or wondering why life has you down? I trust you have good reason for being concerned. As a trauma-informed therapist and Certified Mindfulness-Informed Professional, I want to hear all about it.

Finding a new therapist may initially feel overwhelming, especially when trying to find the right fit. With that in mind, I aim to prioritize a positive therapeutic relationship. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients feel comfortable and seen. I work collaboratively with clients to identify and overcome obstacles that may be hindering their quality of life.

Some are burdened with a sense of disconnection from others. Many come to believe that they are isolated without hope. Joining the tapestry of humanity, learning about the beloved, and understanding the language of relationships are some of the benefits of insight oriented psychotherapy. Often depression, anxiety and fears, loneliness and even psychosis begin with isolation.This isolation is made intolerable by disappointments and trauma. Self-knowledge is the beginning of healing. From self knowledge comes self-control, humility, and a sense of purpose. The staff at New Dawn Psychology Center strives to help you overcome life's trials and tribulations.

Life can be especially difficult for our young people today. It is my goal to assist all my clients starting at age 3 years, through adults to learn how to make healthy and positive decisions in their lives and to empower them to have a good, healthy self image and to successfully move into their future. I am not rooted in one particular type of therapy. This is because the same thing does not work on everyone. I believe in a wrap around style of therapy. It is not just the child, it is its environment which could include, living environment, school, friend groups and more.

When times are tough and the day-to-day feels like a struggle, it can be difficult to reach out for help. You may not know where to go or what to do to make things better.

I will work with you on identifying what is bothering you, and will help guide you towards health and feeling better. You are not alone and you do not have to struggle. I'm here to help.

I believe that every client has the capacity and internal strength to change and grow. My role as a therapist is to be a partner as well as a guide in my client's journey. My goal is to help my clients identify and remove obstacles that are keeping them from living the lives they deserve. Therapy does not need be mysterious or intimidating. l work in a straight-forward, open, and honest way with my clients to empower and support them in their own unique process of healing.

Hi, my name is Crystal Prancevic, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Southern California and working with clients statewide via telehealth.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Family Systems to help my clients identify distortions in their thought patterns and acknowledge how their history affects their current behavior and thoughts.

Therapy is guided self-exploration. Often, we repeat patterns because the emotional wounds suffered as children are being replayed in our adult life. We have a subconscious fear of experiencing feelings of abandonment and this drives codependent patterns of relating. Repeated neglect of yourself to get validation from an external being is the definition of codependency. You can break this cycle of trauma bonding and devote yourself to YOU.
