Therapy with Dr. Crawford
Heal and Grow with Dr. Dana E. Crawford.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just tired of constantly having to explain yourself? I understand how exhausting it can be to navigate life’s challenges while carrying the weight of being misunderstood or unseen. As a world-renowned expert in cultural trauma, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people like you heal and grow in ways that feel meaningful and relevant.
You don’t have to explain your culture, your experiences, or your struggles to me—I get it. At the same time, I value hearing your unique story because your journey deserves to be honored and understood in its entirety.
How I Can Help You Heal.
Life’s challenges can weigh heavily, but you don’t have to carry them alone. I’m here to help you unpack and work through:
Cultural trauma, racism, and bias
Internalized racism, colorism, and misogynoir
The exhaustion of explaining your experiences to others
Interventions and advice that don’t reflect your reality
Cross-cultural conflict and navigating competition with others
Breaking generational cycles and building new legacies
Supporting children in navigating racism and non-inclusive environments
Code-switching, imposter syndrome, and managing microaggressions
Trauma, PTSD, and grief
Anxiety, stress, and depression
Parenting challenges and family dynamics
Chronic pain and its connection to emotional well-being
Self-esteem, identity, and racial identity concerns
These issues are complex and deeply personal, and I understand the toll they can take. Together, we’ll create a space where you can feel safe, supported, and empowered to begin healing.
How I Can Help You Grow
Healing is only part of the journey. Growth is about reclaiming your power, finding your voice, and creating a life that aligns with who you truly are. My approach combines familiarity and professionalism, compassion and accountability, to help you identify patterns that no longer serve you and create pathways to lasting change.
My Approach to Healing and Growth
I use a combination of evidence-based techniques and culturally relevant approaches to ensure your care is as unique as you are:
Trauma-focused therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Mindfulness-based therapy
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
Culturally sensitive and multicultural interventions
As someone certified in medical hypnosis and short-term solution-based therapy, I bring practical tools and a holistic perspective to help you feel better and make real progress. Therapy with me feels like a partnership: familiar yet professional, compassionate yet focused on accountability.
Why Work With Me?
I know how exhausting it can be to navigate spaces that weren’t designed for you. I understand the weight of racism, colorism, and the pressure to adapt while remaining authentic. Over the years, I’ve worked with people just like you, helping them heal from pain, break generational cycles, and grow into lives that feel joyful, powerful, and aligned.
Whether you’re breaking free from old patterns, guiding your children through challenging environments, or simply seeking a space where you don’t have to explain yourself, I’m here to support you.
Let’s work together to unpack what’s holding you back, rediscover your strength, and chart a path to the life you deserve—one that honors your experiences, your resilience, and your power.
