Tabitha Crosno (She/Her)

Over the past 5 years I’ve worked with middle and high school aged teenagers struggling with family conflict, self esteem, body image, depression, anxiety, substance use, family conflict and more.

Over the past 5 years I’ve worked with children in school settings, in home and community counseling for concerns such as hallucinations, trauma, anxiety and depression.

Although some anxiety is normal and helpful for survival many experience such levels that interfere with their daily life. I am trained to help recognize triggers relating to anxiety and teaching others how to ease these feelings as well as manage it so it doesn’t take over your everyday life.

Prior to becoming a Mental Health Counselor I was working as a School Counselor for years. As you can imagine there are many stressors in school that could peak one’s anxiety or in some cases lead to more mental health concerns. Often times I was providing solution focused brief therapy to help students return back to classes in a timely manner. Knowing that summer would soon come I made sure my students had coping skills to take home with them and carry on in life.

Not just as a therapy but also as a person I try to prioritize mindfulness in my daily life. There are so many things we do as humans that could involve being mindful. Eating, walking, talking, watching tv. After years of practicing this, I can see mindfulness it almost anything and it brings me a sense of calm and gratitude.

Many times our actions have trail of foot steps. We likely initially have a thought that may have ,been triggered by something else, which then leads us to our behavior choice. This cycle is what is referred to as CBT. The more we dig into these thoughts and triggers the more we are able to change them and in turn change our negative or unwanted behaviors.
