About My Clients

HLCC offers high-quality services to adults and couples for most clinical areas ranging from: anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, infidelity, intimacy concerns, co-occurring disorders and work-related trauma and micro-aggressions. HLCC specializes in treatment of: survivors of trauma, BIPOC (i.e., Black, Indigenous, People of Color) communities, Christians that practice or struggle with their practice of the faith, and those “of any ethnicity” seeking racial inquiry, reconciliation and healing.

My Background and Approach

Dr. Krystal Handy offers culturally-informed, non-judgmental (seriously), Christ-centered practical guidance, infused with marriage and family therapy practices and psychology-based therapies. All tools used for the benefit​ of obtaining the best life that God has for you and/or the best life you envision FOR YOURSELF. Either way, HLCC can help with that.
