Therapists in Irvine, CA

Every time you talk to your parent you feel invalidated. They’ve always been difficult to deal with, and no matter what you try, each interaction leaves you feeling helpless, overwhelmed, anxious, and angry. You get mad at yourself for getting all worked up. Why can’t you just get over it?! Let things go, everyone says. Yes, growing up with them was hard. You know they were not a perfect parent, and you don’t completely blame them - they grew up with abuse themselves. But, it still affects you? You have your own life, but still feel so hurt by everything that’s happened. You’re worried that it’s causing other problems too.

My name is Crystal Clune, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist that specializes in working with children and adolescents and teens. I have worked with school-age children since 2009. My approach to therapy is very client-centered and strength-based. I believe that the client is the expert of themselves and sometimes they just need guidance in re-finding their true selves. I work with all school-age children (ages 5-19) that are struggling with depression, anxiety, family issues, school issues, behavioral issues at home and at school, self-esteem, and trauma.

At the Psykhe Center, Dr. McCormick uses evidence-based practice and neuroscience to guide her therapy. Her therapeutic style combines holistic, humanistic, psychodynamic, and attachment-based theories to gain insight while implementing mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral strategies to help with symptom management and behavioral change. Through her integrative and holistic approach, she believes psychological well-being derives from addressing emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual facets of the human experience. We address anxiety, phobias, panic attacks, relational issues, codependency, abandonment, depression, trauma, & OCD.

Thank you for visiting our profile page. You are searching, not just for someone who can assist you with the issue you are struggling with, but someone you can connect with; someone who can truly understand you. The best way to find that person is to interview them on the phone. Credentials are only the starting place for a therapy relationship. Keep in mind you are choosing somebody with whom you can share pretty much everything about you; perhaps things you've never told any other person. Make sure you pick somebody you like & trust.

Because therapy is such a personal process, I believe that the most important element in choosing someone is the degree of fit between you and your therapist.

I have been practicing for fifteen years, which brings a level of experience, balanced with a sense of ease. I am licensed in both California and Illinois.
