Welcome to Positive Growth Counseling Inc., a place of healing, growth, and transformation. We understand that the journey of mental health is unique for each individual, and we are here to guide and support you every step of the way. At Positive Growth Counseling Inc., we specialize in addressing a range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, and PTSD, among others. Our approach is grounded in warmth and compassion, creating a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can freely express your thoughts and feelings. We believe that healing begins with a strong therapeutic relationship, and we are dedicated to providing you with the support you need to navigate life's challenges. Our team of experienced and licensed mental health professionals is well-versed in various therapeutic modalities. We recognize that there is no one-size-fits-all solution, which is why we tailor our approach to your unique needs. Some of the therapeutic approaches we integrate into our practice include: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This approach helps you identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors, empowering you to develop healthier coping mechanisms and strategies to manage your emotions. Psychodynamic Therapy: By exploring the unconscious and past experiences, psychodynamic therapy helps uncover underlying patterns that may be contributing to your current struggles. This insight can lead to profound self-discovery and transformation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills: DBT equips you with practical skills to regulate your emotions, enhance interpersonal effectiveness, and cultivate mindfulness. These skills are particularly beneficial for managing intense emotions and creating balance in your life. Supportive Therapy: Our warm and empathetic therapists provide a supportive environment where you can openly discuss your feelings and experiences. This therapeutic approach promotes a sense of connection and validation, fostering healing through genuine human connection. At Positive Growth Counseling Inc., we honor your unique journey and respect the pace at which you're comfortable progressing. We believe that therapy is a collaborative process, and we work with you to set goals and milestones that align with your aspirations for personal growth and well-being.

Your well-being is our priority, and we look forward to accompanying you on your journey to a healthier and happier life.
Welcome! I'm Krystal Haas, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). You may see letters next to the names you find on your search, like LCSW, PsyD, or LMHC, and so on. Looking for a therapist can be a daunting and confusing task, so first I'd like to congratulate you on taking your first step. I'm hoping I can make it a little easier by sharing about myself and how I may be able to help you reach your goals. In my case, as an LMHC, my master's degree education was geared specifically to counseling and learning all of the skills necessary to work directly with people. I've been working for about 5 years now as a clinician, and started my private practice at the end of 2022 - one of the best decisions I've ever made! I work with a variety of ages including kids, teens, and young adults, and I often work with individuals who are struggling with the transition to college and/or adulthood. If you've been experiencing anxiety, depression, changes in mood, identity exploration, stress, or problems with "adulting", then we may be a good match! I use methods like CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and eclectic methods, but that may all sound like gibberish. Essentially, I take an educational and supportive approach by listening to your concerns and needs, and then working with you to establish a way to reach your goals. Even if we don't have all the answers right away, it can help to know you have someone on your team to listen. If this sounds up your alley, you're more than welcome to reach out by phone or email to schedule a free 15 minute consultation. I hope to connect, and wish you best of luck on your search!

My approach relies on a warm and trusting therapeutic relationship where we can safely engage in healing work. We will navigate the pains and challenges of today, while fostering an understanding of how the past has played a role - all while inclining toward a meaningful future. I will provide tools for immediate relief as needed to support this process. I often work with folks who are highly sensitive, feel different or misunderstood, have overwhelming emotions, struggle with relationships, have low self-esteem, are queer or questioning, or are seeking to develop identity, purpose, and meaning in life. I would love to talk to you more about how I work, hear about your goals for therapy, and answer any questions you might have. I look forward to hearing from you!
You wonder what it may look and feel like to trust and know yourself better, especially with recent life events or transitions, like college and young adulthood! You seek guidance to overcome recurrent self doubt, passive-aggressive, or avoidant behaviors- familiar patterns in your family and past relationships.

Clients appreciate my ability to listen and support them with kindness, cultural understanding, and non-judgment, while offering feedback and resources. Whether you’ve tried therapy before or this is new to you, understanding yourself and being supported through life changes and challenges builds your resilience and confidence! Being a 1st generation Asian American immigrant, parent, spouse, and social worker has shaped my capacity to appreciate and support clients with navigating complex seasons of change.

Hello! My practice focuses on CBT and a holistic approach to Mental Health. I am within walking distance to Vassar College and a short drive from Marist College. I have been in private practice for over 10 years. My philosophy is that everyone deserves the opportunity for their best mental health. And that you are the expert on you!
Depression and anxiety can strike at any age. But understanding the developmental challenges our clients are facing, regardless of what life stage they are in, is fundamental to our approach. College students face an enormous array of stressors as they are learning to live independently, separating from home and family, figure out who they are and what they want to be, establishing or navigating new social groups, starting/searching for/ending significant romantic relationships, managing heavy workloads, or simply dealing with the pressure to excel. We are here to help you navigate these very real stressors, to empathize and to teach you skills to address the depression and/or anxiety these stressors can cause.

I specialize in supporting college students who are navigating the many transitions that come with this stage of life.

I’m especially passionate about working with college students because I remember how complex and overwhelming that time can be.
