I utilize a Compassionate, Integrative Approach personalized to your unique needs. ​ I am empathic and compassionate and believe that the therapeutic relationship is a sacred space where we can collaboratively address issues and roadblocks that are preventing you from living the life that you desire.

Hello, I'm Dr. Crystal Hopkins, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC. With over 17 years of nurse practitioner experience, I'm committed to providing top-notch psychiatric and mental health care. My journey as a nurse practitioner has taken me through various educational milestones, including a Doctor of Nursing Practice from The University of Alabama. I specialize in both Family and Psychiatric Mental Health, offering comprehensive care tailored to each individual’s needs. My career has seen me take on diverse roles—from nurse practitioner positions at reputable medical centers to my current role as a psychiatric nurse practitioner at Better Mental Health, LLC. I've also had the honor of teaching future nurse practitioners at several universities. In addition to my clinical practice, I actively contribute to my community through leadership roles and conference presentations. Recognized for my commitment to excellence, I've received awards such as the NPAA Award for Outstanding Nurse Practitioner. I believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. My goal is to create a supportive environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered on your journey to better health. Whether you're dealing with mental health challenges or seeking general family health care, I'm here to help you every step of the way. Feel free to reach out—I'm just a phone call or email away. Treatment philosophy: We take a holistic approach to mental health care, focusing not only on treating symptoms but also on addressing the underlying causes of mental health issues. We use evidence-based practices and work collaboratively with our clients to develop personalized treatment plans.

I believe that therapy is a space where you can be yourself, and I would love to be a part of helping you to explore your life in a meaningful way. Coming from a creative background, I decided to become a therapist to engage more deeply with the human experience, both intellectually and emotionally.  My work is centered around helping people grow into the fullest version of themselves—one that feels more authentic, more alive, more aware, and more at peace. Above all, I believe that real healing comes from the unique relationship we build together. Therapy works when you feel deeply seen, heard, and cared for, and that is what I strive to provide in every session. Together, we will work to explore your past, understand how it shapes your present and current relationships, and create a path toward a more meaningful and fulfilling now and future. My approach is rooted in empathy, curiosity, and respect, and I welcome clients from all walks of life. I also am LGBTQIA+ affirmative, culturally-sensitive, and sex-positive, so please bring yourself however you are.

My name is Dr. Bryant and I am so excited to meet ya! I treat people virtually in the state of California. I also offer both in person and virtual services in the state of Tennessee. I created As You Are Therapy because therapy can be terrifying! I developed my practice with that in mind- so I could be different. As You Are was created with autonomy in mind. Come sit on my couch (IRL or Virtually) and be as authentically you as you want (literally without judgement). I want you to walk in, feel welcomed, and leave feeling your best. My therapeutic approach matches your vibe and we will build a relationship where comfort and acceptance are priority. Healing is a progression and I cannot wait to see you, as you are!

Hello, I'm Khalil Sandoval, and I am deeply committed to making mental health care both compassionate and accessible. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I focus on addressing the mind, body, and spirit with a comprehensive approach. My goal is to support each person in seeking mental health care as comfortably and confidently as they would look after their physical health. With a rich background in mental health, I am dedicated to designing care plans that truly align with each individual's unique needs. Creating a space where every patient feels safe, respected, and valued is important to me. I'm eager to work alongside patients who share a passion for embracing new ideas and improving mental health care. Together, let's nurture the well-being and growth of our community, one person at a time. TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: I'm dedicated to creating a warm and understanding environment for my patients. Every person’s journey is unique, and I believe in the power of personal storytelling to promote healing. I strive to ensure that each patient feels seen, heard, and valued. My approach integrates mental health care with compassion, focusing on both the mind and body. I actively engage with each individual, providing tailored treatment that respects their personal choices and experiences. My goal is to destigmatize mental health challenges and enhance well-being for everyone, particularly the underserved. Together, we can embark on a transformative journey towards better mental health.

As a counselor, I don’t do “psychobabble.” I have a straight-talking and common sense approach to life’s problems. It is my job to help you find a way to make adjustments in your daily life that will help you improve decision making, find solutions to problems, and develop and maintain relationships with frank and honest communication.

Many people look for something beyond the question, “How does that make you feel?” I hope my sessions can not only act as a sounding board, but also provide a safe space to unload, explore and develop solutions to life’s problems. While my approach to therapy is empathic and compassionate, it is also direct and directive. My goal is to help clients identify the root of potential issues and work collaboratively to construct a solution. My intention is to provide support, problem-solving skills, practical tools and coping strategies to help overcome negative patterns.
