Accessible Counseling for All Abilities
Compassionate counseling for personal growth and healing.
About Crystal Richardson LPC
I am a Texas Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) providing outpatient counseling services for children, adolescents, adults, and families. I bring a unique background that bridges Deaf education, disability services, and mental health counseling.
Before entering clinical practice, I spent 17 years as a teacher for students who are Deaf, DeafBlind, blind, and students with multiple disabilities. This experience continues to inform how I adapt counseling services to support communication access, sensory needs, and developmental differences. I am fluent in American Sign Language (ASL) and proficient in Braille, and I provide Deaf-affirming and disability-affirming counseling. Sessions may incorporate visual supports, structured routines, and concrete language to promote accessibility and engagement.
Accessible Counseling for All Abilities
In addition to my work in education, I have provided mental health counseling in correctional settings, supporting individuals experiencing trauma-related symptoms, mood disorders, anxiety, substance use concerns, and significant life stressors. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and nonjudgmental.
Counseling services are individualized and adapted to each client’s needs. I work with individuals and families seeking accessible mental health care in a respectful and supportive outpatient setting.
Communities I Serve
Children, teens, adults, Deaf, DeafBlind, blind individuals; children with special needs; individuals with multiple disabilities; families seeking accessible mental health care; individuals with trauma histories.
Treatment Approach
