Crystal Venegas

Associate Marriage and Family Therapist

Hello! I am a graduate of a Master of Science degree from the University of La Verne. Since graduating, I have spent my training in different private practice settings and have gained the experience to help those who struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and even just those struggling to adjust to new life changes. I truly enjoy getting to know every one of my clients to tailor treatment to their specific needs and reach their full potential. I have worked with clients of all ages, including school-age children, teens, and adults utilizing CBT and DBT modalities. I look forward to working with all my clients and cannot wait to start your journey with you. AMFT License #135117 NPI:1679007728

Professional Therapy with a Client Focus

There are times in life when we can feel off balance and can’t seem to snap out of it. When our own natural support system just isn’t enough, it may be time to reach out to a professional counselor to start the process of therapy. We have created a safe, comfortable and professional environment to discuss the issues in your life. We recognize the importance of a good therapeutic relationship and strive to build a positive rapport. We treat each client with respect and dignity.
