Licensed Professional Counselor in McClean, VA

Inclusive and Compassionate Care for Every Soul's Journey

Welcome to Crystal Clear Counseling, where healing meets spirituality. Led by Christal Platt, a dedicated and compassionate Licensed Professional Counselor. I offer a holistic approach to mental health. My practice integrates traditional therapy techniques with spiritual elements to help you achieve clarity and peace.

Embrace Your True Self

Life's challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, but you don't have to face them alone. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or navigating your gender identity, I'm here to provide a safe, inclusive space for healing and growth.

Specialized Care for the LGBTQ+ Community

As a proud ally with personal experience in LGBTQ+ family dynamics, I offer specialized support for LGBTQ+ individuals and their families. My practice is a judgment-free zone where you can explore your identity, work through challenges, and celebrate your authentic self.

Innovative Therapy Techniques

Using evidence-based methods like Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and EMDR, we'll work together to resolve trauma and build resilience. These powerful techniques, combined with traditional talk therapy, can help you achieve lasting change and inner peace.
