Hi! My name is Cristal López Vélez, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Cleveland State University.

I have experience working in both community mental health and private practice settings, providing services to individuals across different ages and with a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, women’s issues, and more.

I consider myself a relational therapist and strive to create a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where clients feel comfortable being themselves. I work from a trauma-informed and collaborative approach, recognizing that each person’s experiences and needs are unique. Together, we can develop a treatment plan that feels meaningful, realistic, and tailored to you.

If you feel I might be the right therapist for you, or if you’re still unsure about therapy in general, feel free to book a consultation. We can talk, ask questions, and see if we might be a good fit!
