About Crystal Porto, MS, CAADC

Your healing is my mission.

My journey as a trauma therapist began years ago, driven by a deep curiosity about the human mind and a genuine desire to make a difference in the lives of others.

Recognizing the immense pain and suffering caused by traumatic experiences, I embarked on a path of education, training, and personal growth to equip myself with the knowledge and skills necessary to heal vulnerable individuals.

I know how trauma can have a profound impact on your life.

The effects of trauma are complex and far-reaching.

Because of the trauma, you likely struggle with relationships and maintaining your overall well-being. You might feel like your challenges can’t be overcome, but they can. I believe every person can heal, grow, and reclaim their life, regardless of the pain they have endured.

Here, you’ll get what you need to transform your life: a therapeutic space where you feel safe and understood – where you’ll find solace and feel nurtured.

I’m here to support and empower you as you recover from the painful past that altered your life.

The power of relationship…

A therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, and unconditional positive regard is the cornerstone of my practice. That therapeutic relationship will be the catalyst for your healing.

I understand that talking about trauma requires immense courage and vulnerability. Here, you’ll find a safe, nonjudgmental, empathetic space to share your thoughts, stories, memories, and emotions.

We’ll also explore patterns that may be hindering their growth. We’ll identify your triggers, learn new coping strategies, develop resilience, and promote self-compassion.

You’re going to heal and transform your life.
