Welcome! Can You Feel the Love?

Are you interested in starting therapy, but don’t want an experience that’s bland, dry, or otherwise “vanilla”? If it’s important to you that your healing journey is also an enjoyable, fun, challenging, and relatable experience, then I believe that you have found the right therapist in me. 

Greetings! My name is Crystal Daniels, a native South Floridian from Miami- and not the Miami as shown on TV! Those who know me best call me “Candy”. My nickname suits me well as a therapist because I specialize in “Therapy with Flavor”. I am known to provide loving support to aid people through life’s challenges. This natural “sweetness” is a gift that I have turned into a passion for helping others to thrive and find new reasons to smile in their lives. Watching people become the best version of themselves is the reward I seek. While life takes us on a rollercoaster of emotions, I am here to make healing as enjoyable and enriching as possible. I often call therapy with me a “sweet treat” to reward yourself with once a week.

Let me help you regain the happy kid inside of you with the “Candy Approach”. The “Candy Approach” encompasses an array of different flavorful techniques that clients have been most appreciative to receive. 

Therapy has gained negative stereotypes and is publicized via television, radio shows, etc., I desire to act as an essential role in showing that there are so many good and positive things that come out of going to therapy- and that while sometimes painful, it can also be full of joy and peace.

I’m a listener and helper by nature. My great passion is helping others become their best self in a world that sometimes isn’t so welcoming. In life, we experience trauma or stressors that can make us feel as though we’re in a whirlwind, but as a therapist I am here to help you put those pieces back together and recreate new ones to fit the life you desire. I also help my clients see that no matter what has been thrown their way, they control the narrative of their life and can make it through life’s challenges.   

 My typical clients are those who are working through trauma and grief experiences. I also specialize in working with couples who are facing issues and/or need guidance with challenging communication patterns.   

While I enjoy supporting other women on their journeys toward healing and wholeness, I have developed a specialty in supporting and empowering men in developing their vulnerability and overall self-awareness so that they may show up in better and stronger ways for their partners, their families, and their communities.

Another area of interest and specialty for me, which stems from my personal lived experience, is in working specifically with young women who are struggling to process the death of their mothers and/ or maternal figures.

My clients can come into every session knowing that they can be open and honest, at the same time working through specific matters. I take pleasure in unpacking my client’s life and finding different approaches to get them to the goals they desire. As a therapist, I help my clients understand who they are as a person and help them build healthy relationships so they can embrace themselves as peaceful, complete, healthy, and secure. 

I am a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern, licensed in the State of Florida, which means that I can only provide counseling services to clients residing in the state of Florida. Knowing that no one approach is tailored to every individual, I have been trained and experienced in various modalities such as, Relational Gestalt therapy, Couples therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Group Therapy, Psychotherapy, and Gottman’s Therapy.  My educational background includes:
