If you live in most of Texas, your options for your neurodivergent child usually look like one of two things: a local generalist counselor who also sees couples and trauma work, or a long drive to a specialist practice in one of the big metros.
Telehealth means you don’t actually have to choose between “specialist” and “convenient.” You can have both.
Crystalena’s practice is built around autism and ADHD specifically — not offered alongside couples counseling and grief work.
She works with kids, teens, and adults who are autistic, ADHD, both (“AuDHD”), or still in the process of figuring out which — including the anxiety and depression that show up alongside neurodivergence more often than not.
Her practice goes beyond the general “executive functioning” strategies: the day-to-day reality of executive dysfunction, time blindness, meltdowns, or rejection sensitivity gets addressed by name, not danced around.
Before she was a therapist, Crystalena spent 15 years teaching middle school as a special-education-certified teacher. She also has a Ph.D. in human development, so she understands how growing brains work both from the research and from a decade and a half in the room with them.
And she’s not learning about autism and ADHD secondhand. Crystalena is AuDHD herself. She was the kid who was “so smart” and had “so much potential” but couldn’t do school the way everyone expected. Your child’s inner world right now is probably a lot like hers back then.
The goal is never to make your child less autistic, less ADHD, or more “normal.” It’s to help them build the tools to thrive in a world that wasn’t built for their brain, and to build a bridge so you understand what’s actually going on, instead of guessing.
Autism and ADHD aren't one service among many here — they're the whole practice.

The same care whether you're in Nacogdoches, Lufkin, Tyler, Longview, Houston, or the Panhandle — no waitlist for a specialist two hours away.
Session from the kitchen table or the car in the school pickup line — no drive time added to an already full day.
Yes! Telehealth is available to anyone in Texas. In-person sessions are in Nacogdoches, TX, for those nearby.
A private space, a device with a camera, and an internet connection — that’s it.
