Soulful Expressions Counseling Services | Dr. Krystle Dandridge

Therapy

Individual - I work with individuals ages 4 and older. I utilize different approaches in effort to help the individual I am treating. While I utilize talk therapy, I also utilize both play and expressive arts skills to work with individuals as it is sometimes easier to express one’s self without the use of words. I work with a number of concerns to include, but not limited to, mood disorders, self-esteem struggles, self-harming behaviors, inappropriate sexual behaviors, sexual trauma, identity concerns, and foster care/adoption concerns.

Group - Groups provide a unique and dynamic experience that allows its participants to feel supported by others who have experienced similar struggles. It allows individuals to receive validation in their emotions and experiences as well as receive feedback from peers. Group allows and provides a sense of community that can act as a support system for some. I provide some group experiences from therapeutic groups to support and psychoeducational groups. These groups are offered throughout the year and will be listed on the website when they are open for registration.

Telehealth - Telehealth is a great option for those who are unable to make it into the office for a therapy session. Sometimes the distance to get to the office is too great, or you may be a college student away for the school year. I provide telehealth sessions through a secure, HIPAA compliant platform to those individuals who are appropriate for distance counseling. Through telehealth sessions, you are able to engage in therapy sessions through the comforts of your own home. The sessions remain private, and you’ll receive the same level of competence without having to leave your home.

Testing

Psychosexual Evaluations - Psychosexual evaluations are assessments that focus on an individual’s sexual adjustment, sexual development, and inappropriate sexual behaviors. I work with individuals up through age 17 to administer the necessary instruments to complete the evaluation and provide recommendations for treatment. It is important to note that psychosexual evaluations cannot predict future offenses, however, they can assist in determining risk level. Along with testing, I also work with adolescents who demonstrate inappropriate sexual behaviors. Please note: Psychosexual evaluations are not covered by insurance.

Supervision

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have completed the necessary training and received board approval to provide supervision to those seeking licensure as a professional counselor. I provide mentorship and guidance to individuals under my supervision. I believe in the importance of teaching and developing an individual into a proficient, competent, and skilled therapist. I help individuals explore their interests and begin to shape and develop their niche as an individual and a therapist. I strive to encourage growth, individuality, and self-expression as the individual is just as much a tool in therapy as the different interventions utilized. If you’re looking for an opportunity to learn and grow beyond what is taught in school, feel free to reach out so that we may discuss and discover if we would make a great team.
