You might be here because:

  • You and your partner keep having the same argument and nothing shifts

  • Someone in your family is struggling and it's affecting everyone around them

  • You're navigating a major life transition, loss, or change that's left things unstable

  • You're functioning on the surface, but things underneath are getting harder to manage

  • You've tried to handle it on your own and it hasn't been enough

HOW THIS WORKS

Therapy with me is structured and direct. We don't spend sessions circling the same ground. We identify the pattern underneath what's happening — what's actually driving it — and build practical changes that hold outside the therapy room.

Most people I work with have been managing the situation for a long time before reaching out. The work moves faster than you'd expect when the focus is right.

WHY TELEHEALTH WORKS IN STOWE

Stowe is small. Local therapy options are limited, waitlists are long, and the overlap between your social circle and a local provider's can make in-person care feel complicated. Telehealth gives you a Vermont-licensed therapist, from home, on a schedule that works around your life — without the small-town exposure.

I'm Maxwell Crystal, LICSW, a licensed therapist in Vermont with ten years of experience working with couples and families navigating high-stakes relational dynamics.

Alongside my private practice, I serve as clinical director at a residential behavioral health program, where I work every day with people at the edges of what relationships can hold. That perspective shapes how I approach couples work: I know what escalation looks like, what sustains it, and what actually creates change.

My approach is steady and direct. We slow the process down, clarify what's happening, and build forward from there.

Individual therapy: $175 per session

This is a private-pay practice. Most insurance plans don't cover couples or family therapy — they require a mental health diagnosis and treat the relational work as incidental. For individual therapy, private pay keeps your care flexible and private, without a diagnosis on your record or an insurance company limiting the work.

HSA and FSA accepted. Superbills available on request for out-of-network reimbursement.
