A note from Crystal

Greetings; my name is Crystal Anderson-Shrieves; LCSW; a National Practice Provider here at Talkspace and a dedicated and empathetic therapist with a passion for helping individuals navigate life's challenges and achieve personal growth. With over 18 years of experience in the field of mental health; I have worked with a diverse range of clients; from adolescents struggling with anxiety to adults coping with depression and relationship issues.My therapeutic approach could be described as both eclectic and person-centered in nature while grounded in evidence-based practices; particularly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I believe that our thoughts and beliefs have a profound impact on our emotions and behaviors. Through our work together; you will learn to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns; while also promoting greater relaxation and improved emotional regulation.My warm and non-judgmental style creates a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings while tailoring my approach to meet your needs and goals as the unique individual that you are.While I do understand that seeking therapy can be a courageous step; I am committed to guiding you on your challenging; yet rewarding journey of self-discovery and personal transformation.In my free time; I enjoy practicing meditation and spending quality time with my several pets and family. I believe strongly in the power of self-care and strive to inspire you to prioritize your mental health and overall well-being. If you're looking for a compassionate and experienced therapist to support you on your mental health journey; I am here to help.

What is Talkspace?

Talkspace is the most convenient and affordable way to connect with a licensed therapist — all from the privacy of your device. Send your therapist text, audio, picture, and video messages at any time, and they will respond daily, 5x/week. If you’re looking for the “face-to-face” therapy experience, we also offer Live Video Sessions so you and your therapist can plan to connect in real-time.

How do I get started?

You’ll be prompted to answer a few questions about yourself and your preferences for therapy, and our matching algorithm will suggest three potential therapists. Choose the one that’s the best fit for you, and follow the steps to set up your Talkspace account.

How do I communicate with my therapist?

Your Talkspace “room” is available 24/7 so you never have to wait to share what’s on your mind. Message your therapist whenever something comes up — whether you’re commuting, at the office, or lying in bed. For all Live Video Sessions, you and your therapist will schedule an appointment in advance. All communication is hosted on the Talkspace platform.

How much does Talkspace cost?

Talkspace is a subscription service, offering various plans so you can customize your treatment in a way that’s right for you. Plans range from $65 to $100 per week, but there are no contracts and you can cancel your plan anytime.

How does Talkspace protect my privacy?

At Talkspace, your security is our #1 priority. Our platform is HIPAA-compliant and encrypted banking-grade, industry standard technology. Talkspace always requires a password for use, and our iOS app accommodates Touch ID and Face ID on enabled devices. For more details, read our Privacy Policy.
