Nice to Meet You!
I'M KRYSTAL GLASSMAN, LCPC
Hi, I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor specializing in OCD, anxiety, and trauma. My career began at a sexual assault center, where I provided counseling, education, and advocacy for survivors. Since then, I’ve worked in several private practices, each one deepening my understanding of how to support people through life’s challenges.
​
I’ve had the privilege of working with children, teens, adults, couples, and groups. I also lead bi-monthly trainings for other clinicians and remain committed to my own growth, both professionally and personally.
​
My passion for this work is also personal — shaped by my own pain, struggles, and feeling different at times. These experiences drive my desire to create a space where clients feel truly seen and supported. I’m proud to have built a practice offering effective, individualized care. LGBTQ+ and neurodiversity affirming.
​
Outside of work, I love spending time with loved ones, enjoying warm weather, thrifting, and figure skating — my newest hobby.
It’s an honor to walk alongside clients as they face fears, heal, and create lives that reflect their values.

I work best with people who are ready to dig deep, get honest, and do the work. If you're motivated to understand yourself more fully, open to trying new strategies, and willing to face hard things with courage (and sometimes a bit of humor), we’ll likely be a great fit.
​
My style is energetic, warm, and direct. I’m not a blank slate therapist. I show up. I use humor, realness, and a good amount of intensity when needed. You can expect me to be fully present, to challenge you when it matters, and to celebrate your wins—big and small.
​

​​
​
You’re motivated and ready for change—even if you're scared or unsure how to start.
​
You appreciate someone who’s down to earth, honest, and not afraid to use humor in tough moments.
​
You’re open to doing deep work: exploring patterns, processing pain, and learning practical tools.
You value collaboration—therapy with me is a team effort.
