Crystal Blanton, LCSW

I am Crystal Blanton, LCSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience in the counseling field. I work with culturally diverse populations in a variety of settings to support with concerns related to depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, and other life challenges.

I utilize an anti-oppressive, culturally relevant, strength-based, and client centered approach to the therapeutic process, incorporating personal strengths in collaboration with those I work with. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, EMDR, FLASH, Mindfulness and Solution Focused modalities to support the overall needs and goals of the individual.

I have experience with adolescent, adult and family focused services. I am also very passionate about the integration of intersectional, cultural elements into our work, including the acknowledgement of environmental and societal elements that impact an individual’s experience of the world. I believe in the inherent worth of all people and supporting a judgement free space to explore the many intersecting parts of a person’s life to support overall wellness.

I am a Substance Use Disorder Certified Counselor IV – Clinical Supervisor (SUDCC IV-CS), experienced in individual and group work related to substance use.
