Helping Therapists go from Surviving to Thriving.
More and more therapists are chronically burnt out, lonely, overworked, underpaid, and underappreciated.
Let’s change all of that.
As therapists, we deserve to put ourselves first, align with our specific values and desires, and keep our fire steadily lit with our passion for helping others.
Therapists who are living sustainable lives have the power to change the world.
That’s what our work can help you do.
End burnout. Rediscover your passion for what you do.
Soften and deepen your relationship with yourself.
As therapists we have a tendency to put others first, but in doing so, we can sometimes neglect our relationship with ourselves. As healers, our own health is our biggest asset.
Let me be your advocate and show you a kinder, gentler way to treat the most important person in your life.
Up level your skills as a therapist.
Be the best therapist you can be by understanding yourself better through experiential consultation, business coaching, intuitive tarot readings and more!

About Align
Hi, I’m Crystal.I’ve been in private practice since 2014, and I worked as a school-based community mental health therapist for 6 years. Prior to that, I was in grad school to be a therapist. I’ve never had another career!
I started this work because, after several years of running my practice, I was considering closing my business altogether, getting a W2 job, or leaving the field due to my own burnout and other life stressors.
Through all of the upheaval, I dug deep about who I actually still care about supporting and the answer is other therapists.
I care about the humanness of therapists and supporting therapists in finding their authentic voice, presence, and passion. This work is so incredibly hard and therapists are often overlooked, and their mental health disregarded. I believe we deserve better and I want to be part of the solution.
That’s also why this is the only work I do.
Lots of other therapists offer similar work as a side specialty. Not me. I only work with other therapists.
