Crysti Laney - MA, ALC
Hi, I’m Crysti! I am passionate about helping individuals navigate through anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, body image concerns, relationship challenges, and intrusive thoughts.
With compassion and understanding, I draw from my competence in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-based Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I thoughtfully integrate these and many more approaches with a Christian worldview to provide personalized care aimed at alleviating suffering and promoting well-being.
I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University and a Bachelor of Science in Mass Communication from Boston University, where I minored in world religions. Additionally, I have a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Alabama in Huntsville. My journey in counseling began in Boca Raton, Florida, at Hope Christian Counseling, where I had the privilege of working with individuals, groups, and couples. I further honed my skills through training at DaTerra Psychotherapy & Wellness and Lifeskills South Florida Outpatient in Delray Beach. I am a SYMBIS Assessment Facilitator (Christian premarital assessment and counseling).

Kelli Pavlovec - ALC
Hi, I’m Kelli Pavlovec! I recently graduated with my Masters in clinical mental health counseling at Townsend Institute of Concordia University, Irvine.
I completed my undergrad at UAH majoring in English, and have worked many years as a content marketer. For over seven years, I’ve been running a grief support group and serving on the Abuse Advocacy team at my local church. These experiences gave me a desire to become more equipped to help shepherd those in my care. I hope you will consider joining me to begin your own journey of change and healing.
Following my calling to become a counselor, I decided to attend the Townsend Institute to sit under the teachings of John Townsend, Author of the Boundaries series. I’ve seen the benefit of counseling in providing change and healing, and am excited to be on this journey. I am an ALC working under the supervision of Aaron Shaffer, MA, LPC-S, CSAT, CMAT.
