Libby (Elizabeth) Crystal, MHC-LP

Associate Clinician, Mental Health Counselor-Limited Permit

Life is full of transitions, but you do not have to navigate them alone. As a New York City-based Mental Health Counselor-LP, I provide a grounded, collaborative space to help you deepen self-understanding, build on your strengths, and create a life aligned with your true values.

I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, family and relationship concerns, and identity exploration, with a particular clinical interest in men's mental health. My practice is fully culturally sensitive and LGBTQ+ informed. Whether faith, spirituality, or secular values are central to your life—or not at all—you will find an open, respectful, and safe space here.

My Background & Approach

  • A Rich Professional Foundation: Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than 15 years working at the intersection of psychology, medicine, and science. This extensive history allows me to bring a mature, thoughtful, and deeply practical perspective to my clinical work.

  • A Grounded Perspective on Change: Originally from the West Coast, I have lived in many different parts of the country. Each move taught me firsthand the challenges of beginning again, building community, and finding a sense of belonging in an unfamiliar place.

I have a deep appreciation for the ways loss and change can reshape our lives. I believe those experiences deserve compassion, patience, and care.
