I personally understand what it feels like to lose your way, lose people you love, or just to lose hope altogether. I've been there. 

I strive to create a therapeutic space that is authentic, non-judgmental, flexible, and prioritizes each client’s individual needs and safety. I am an active therapist who values compassion, humor, and challenging clients in an empathetic and supportive way.  

 

I use a holistic & strengths-based approach, drawing from mindfulness, solution-focused & cognitive behavioral therapies. 

​

I am experienced in treating older adolescents & adults with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, ADHD, OCD, grief, and all types of relationship issues.

​

I am a sex-positive therapist, experienced in helping people form and nurture healthy relationships with self and others.

 

This may include support with sexuality, gender identity, monogamous and non-monogamous, and open or polyamorous relationships.

Crystal Myers

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, EdS

As a non-traditional student, I received a BS in Psychology from Bridgewater College, a small liberal arts college in Virginia. My dedication to my studies and my passion to learn the science and biology of psychology was recognized by my professors who awarded me the Donald R. Witters, PhD, Psychology Department Outstanding Academic Achievement Award. 

 

I earned a Masters in Community Counseling and EdS from James Madison University. While there, I was awarded the Graduate Psychology Teaching Assistant Award.

 

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​I use an integrative approach to working with clients struggling with a wide range of symptoms that impact their relationship with themselves, the people they care about, and affects and interrupts their ability to engage in life in ways that they would like.​​

​I primarily use a client centered approach that includes strength-based, attachment focused, and emotionally supportive and empathetic interventions to help clients co-create and achieve the safety needed to explore upsetting experiences and work on shifting long standing patterns to new ways of experiencing and responding.

​

I’m trained in and use Trauma Focused CBT and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I’m exclusively taking new clients for Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy.

I deliver KAP in my practice in partnership with an organization called Journey Clinical, which has a specialized medical team that determines eligibility for KAP, prescribes the ketamine, and supports us in monitoring outcomes. If you would like to explore the possibility of working with me on KAP, please e-mail us at to discuss eligibility and next steps. Lean more here.

As a Journey Clinical KAP Provider, I offer a therapeutic modality called Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)—the use of ketamine as a complement to psychotherapy.

I’ve never believed in censoring. My whole life being told I was “dramatic,” “argumentative” or “sensitive” all sent the same message: you’re too much.  

​

To my fellow “too much”-ers, you are welcome here. You, and all parts of you, are enough. I work empathetically and collaboratively with those wanting to learn more about themselves, untangle the webs of trauma, shame, and despair, to help you reconnect with yourself and who you are. I work with folks to help them get in touch with their story—to help empower the ability to understand it, to share it, or to change it.

​

I work with both teenagers and adults struggling with anxiety, shame, trauma, PTSD, depression, and self-esteem struggles. I specialize in an integrative and strength-based approach, looking at the ways in which resilience & survival has shown up in the face of obstacles and trauma. I also spend a large part of therapy deconstructing the ways in which societal systems impact our mental health and processing traumatic experiences. For teenagers, I work individually with supplemental joint sessions including parents as necessary to help create a safe and connecting environment within the family unit.  

 

While my integrative approach is based on best-fit, here are the following therapy modalities I borrow from the most: Humanistic, narrative, internal family systems, acceptance and commitment, multicultural/feminist, trauma-focused, existential, cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, mindfulness/sensorimotor psychotherapy, play and art-based techniques. Our work together is collaborative, creating a tailored therapeutic experience that best supports your needs.

I’d love to get to know YOUR story—not the story society tells about you, not the story others have told you about yourself, but the story and meaning YOU make about you. I’m here to help build the confidence and empowerment you are worthy of. Because YOU matter—you always have, and always will.

​

I openly support the following communities: Body Positivity/Neutrality; LGBTQIA+; Non-binary & trans; racial justice; secular & non-religious.

When life feels directionless and overwhelming, taking the first step toward therapy can seem daunting. Perhaps you’re wrestling with feelings of shame, guilt, or fear of judgment, making the idea of being vulnerable even more challenging. You might be questioning whether therapy is truly necessary, or if it would even help at all. These doubts and anxieties are understandable, and they often stem from the very challenges you are hoping to address.

​

I provide a supportive and empowering space for teens and young adults facing a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based. I draw from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you develop coping skills, gain self-awareness, and create meaningful change. I believe you are the expert on your own life; my role is to support and guide you on your journey to healing and self-discovery. I recognize that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all, and I tailor my approach to meet your needs and address your unique concerns. Together, we can work to challenge thoughts and relational patterns that are no longer serving you, and create space to step into new ways of thinking and being. I strive to create a therapeutic space that feels safe, affirming, and authentic.

Megan Conrad Anaya, MSW, Supervisee in Social Work

Welcome. I offer a caring and supportive space where you can feel safe to share your story, understand what’s holding you back, and take steps toward a more connected and meaningful life.

​

My clinical perspective is grounded in attachment theory and the neurobiology of connection. I believe that relationships—whether with partners, caregivers, children, or ourselves—are central to both our wellbeing and our distress. How we connect shapes our nervous systems, our sense of safety, and our capacity to heal.

I specialize in working with couples who feel stuck in painful patterns, disconnected from one another, or unsure how to repair after betrayal or trauma. Together, we focus on rebuilding trust, increasing emotional responsiveness, and restoring a sense of safety and closeness in the relationship.

​

I also work with individual adults recovering from complex trauma, family dysfunction, or emotionally and spiritually harmful experiences. Whether you're navigating generational trauma, high-control environments, or subtle forms of abuse, I provide a grounded, compassionate approach to help you process what you've been through and reclaim your sense of self.

​

In my work with parents and children (ages 0–14), I help families build stronger bonds through emotional attunement, playful connection, and developmentally appropriate support. I partner with caregivers to better understand their child’s behaviors, respond with confidence, and strengthen the parent-child relationship in ways that support lifelong resilience.

​

My approach is trauma-informed and integrates talk therapy, play-based methods, and somatic tools tailored to your needs. I also work with clients exploring questions around belief systems, identity, and values—especially after high-control or spiritually damaging experiences. When desired, I integrate reiki and energy-based practices as part of a holistic treatment plan.
