“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” Carl G. Jung
In the heart of every challenge lies the seed of growth. I am Javier Crespo, born in the vibrant landscapes of Colombia and nurtured by 23 transformative years in the US. My journey in the field of mental health is rooted in a profound belief in the resilience of the human spirit.
As a bilingual therapist and counselor, I bring a diverse toolkit to our sessions, holding titles as a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) and an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC). Currently, I am deepening my expertise by pursuing a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (PsyD). My approach weaves together evidence-based practices such as EMDR for trauma, the grounding presence of Mindfulness and Visualization, and the structured pathways of DBT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing. As I explore and integrate the emerging field of psychedelic-assisted therapy, its promising horizon offers a glimpse into innovative paths to healing.
Your Space, Your Pace
Whether you’re navigating the depths of profound grief, the shadows of trauma, or the intricacies of mental well-being challenges, including moments of intense worry, periods of deep sadness, crisis situations, substance use, addictive behaviors, or the highs and lows of emotional extremes, my therapy room is a haven of understanding and acceptance. Here, individuals of all ages, families of all compositions and cultures, and people across the gender and sexuality spectrums find their voice, uncover their strength, and rekindle their hope.
A Journey Together
My path has taught me the power of empathy and the beauty of diversity. In our sessions, you’ll find a partnership that honors your story and a commitment to walking beside you, every step of the way.
Let’s embark on this healing journey together, where your growth is my purpose, and your well-being is my passion.
