Meet Crystal
“Growing up, my parents worked in children’s homes across South Carolina, Oklahoma, and North Carolina. I have had the privilege of doing life alongside those who have experienced trauma, hurt, and pain since I was just four years old. These interactions have enabled me to see God’s goodness amidst hardship and developed in me a passion for helping others grow.
For more than twelve years now, I have worked at Black Mountain Home for Children as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) helping kids and teens discover their potential and find healing. While my clinical background has equipped me with a strong understanding of mental health, it wasn’t until I began experiencing health issues that I became more aware of how our minds, bodies and spirits are connected.
As I have made strides in my own health journey, I have felt led to share what I’m learning with other women. God designed us in such a beautiful way. When we’re able to work through the root of our behaviors and hurts, we have a greater chance of truly thriving. My heart for Lifted Up is that it may be a space to encourage, motivate, and walk with women to find freedom in every area of their lives.” – Crystal
