Welcome—I’m glad you’re here.

My name is Dr. Crystal Rose Garrison, and I provide a dedicated, gender-affirming space for adults and couples across the beautiful State of Maine. With 40 years of clinical experience, I offer online telehealth video sessions designed to meet you exactly where you are.

As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with two doctorates—one in Counseling Psychology and a second in Clinical Psychoanalysis—I bring a deep, specialized toolkit to our sessions. I am a trained psychoanalytic psychotherapist and a psychoanalyst-in-training, currently working toward a clinical certificate in modern psychoanalysis.

Healing Beyond the Surface
I truly love this work because I believe in the power of deep, lasting change. Many of my patients come to me feeling “stuck” in patterns that no longer serve them. In our community—especially for transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse folks—what we call “symptoms” are often survival strategies we developed to navigate a world that wasn’t always kind.

My goal is to help you move beyond just “managing” symptoms and toward true resolution. Modern psychoanalysis is an insight-oriented, evidence-based approach that addresses the root causes of distress. Rather than a “band-aid” approach, we work together to resolve the underlying issues, heal the pain of the past, and help you move forward with clarity.

A Space for Your Authentic Self
I firmly believe that therapy is about helping you become your most authentic self. Whether you are navigating a transition, exploring your identity, or simply looking for a therapist who respects your pronouns and your journey without question, you will find a safe, respectful environment here.

We are complex human beings, and growth takes time. In our sessions, you will be heard, validated, and encouraged to explore your truths—even those you may not yet be aware of. While we can’t change hurtful memories, we can absolutely resolve the pain and “weight” they carry.

My Practice is Open to All
My caseload is wonderfully diverse and represents all walks of life. I also provide specialized care for medical and mental health professionals, as well as veterans. As a nationally certified clinical supervisor, I provide consultation for fellow clinicians at the doctoral and master’s levels.
