Welcome, and congratulations on taking this important step in your healing journey!
Allow me to introduce myself: I’m Cristal Cunningham (formerly Baker), a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and EMDR Consultant. I understand that this process can feel challenging and at times, even a little overwhelming. So when I say I genuinely appreciate you visiting my website and considering me as your future therapist, I truly mean it.
After years of practice and my own personal healing journey, I began to truly understand just how important intuition is and the powerful role it plays in our lives. Many of my clients struggle with self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, and constantly second-guessing themselves. Some have been labeled “too sensitive” or “overthinkers.” I could deeply relate to that struggle.
This led me to become more curious about how and why we disconnect from or dismiss our own inner knowing. I started noticing a common pattern, one rooted in early experiences or close relationships, such as with family, friends, or partners. When I asked clients, “Was there ever a part of you that had doubt or a feeling…?” the answer was always, yes.
That realization inspired me to go deeper into my own journey through intentional spiritual work. I came to understand that self-trust, especially intuitive trust, was the missing piece in my own healing. When we lack self-trust, we become disconnected from our Intuitive or Spirit Part.
Intuition is a spiritual gift we are all born with. While it may manifest differently for each of us, the more we intentionally connect with it, the stronger it becomes. Our intuition links us to things we cannot see or logically explain, It is our direct connection to the spirit world. Imagine how vital that connection is when we’re making major life decisions or seeking our true purpose.
Incorporating intuition into talk therapy allows my clients to experience more holistic healing, mind, body, and spirit. This approach not only helps ease emotional and mental challenges but also strengthens self-esteem and inner trust. I guide clients in reconnecting with and repairing their relationship with their Intuitive/Spirit Part. Alongside that, I introduce healthy coping strategies and offer deeper insight to help them manage and overcome symptoms. When appropriate, I also integrate EMDR therapy to help clients process and heal from complex or traumatic life experiences.
If you can relate to these challenges and my approach seems like a good fit for you or you just have more questions, please Contact Me to schedule a brief phone consultation. I look forward to connecting with you!
