My Therapy Specialties
-
Infidelity makes people overwhelmed, guarded, or unsure how to move forward. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone and I’m trained to help.
-
When your relationship feels unsupportive or flat, therapy helps create a path forward. I help couples move from blame to teamwork.

Complex trauma often develops quietly over time. Many clients are outwardly successful, capable, and responsible, while privately struggling with anxiety, burnout, or emotional swings. If you’re ready to understand the root of these symptoms, turn to complex trauma therapy.

Dr. Crystal Benjamin, PhD, CFLE
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - Associate (Supervised by Julia Wesley, LMFT-S)
Hi, I am Dr Benjamin (some clients call me Crystal or Dr. B),
I wear many hats. I‘m a therapist, educator, and scholar, and I genuinely enjoy people. I am curious, grounded, and value conversations that are meaningful and real.
I am also an autoimmune disease survivor, which has deeply shaped how I understand stress, resilience, and the mind-body connection.
Outside of therapy, I prioritize staying active, especially through fitness and crossfit, spending time with family and friends, and traveling whenever possible. I am originally from Trinidad and Tobago and know firsthand how major life changes can reshape identity and relationships.
Change in one area,
often leads to changes in others
Therapy With Me
Therapy with me is thoughtful, structured, and human. Some sessions are reflective and quiet. Others are active, challenging, or even lighthearted. All sessions are grounded in respect, curiosity, and real connection.
Clients often tell me they appreciate my honesty, even when it stretches them. I won’t rush your process, but I also won’t collude with patterns that keep you stuck.
Availability: I provide online sessions for clients in Texas and Trinidad & Tobago
