About Me

I'm here to help you as a

Life Coach & Clinical Therapist

As a Clinical Psychotherapist and Coach, I have over 25 years of experience in therapy, consulting, administration, and planning within community and academically-based social service agencies. I obtained my Bachelor of Arts from Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology (now Argosy University) in Chicago, Illinois.

I have worked closely with 100s of young adults, professional adults, and families to help them create massive shifts within their lives. I’ve counseled teenagers and adults who are experiencing difficulties within their lives. I help couples deepen

their connections and work through life events that often deteriorate the fabric of the relationship. I help businesses develop and maintain relationships that are cohesive, productive, and profitable.

During my coaching experiences, it became clear very quickly that misunderstandings and assumptions, which are often avoidable, generally contribute significantly to the loss of communication in personal and professional relationships.

I think of a coaching relationship as one that helps you throughout your pursuit of a specific goal. That is why my brand embodies the Sankofa Bird, because it is important to acknowledge the past, affirm the desires to make positive changes now, and challenge the unproductive beliefs that keep you from excelling in your personal and professional goals.

It is my intention, in working together, to coach & assist you through your very own discoveries and development. The work is your responsibility and the tools, support and guidance are mine.

I look forward to hearing from you today.

Testimonials

Dr. Crystal Lewis has been an amazing advisor and confidante since we met over 10 years ago. She has provided me with invaluable advice in personal and professional matters. I have the utmost respect and admiration for her and for the wealth of knowledge that she brings to each and every conversation. She is an incredible person with a calm and caring disposition. I feel honored to call her my friend.

Throughout all the good and all the bad, I’ve always had Crystal Lewis-Brown that was always there. She has helped me get through some of the most difficult moments in my life, the advice that she offers comes from a caring and unbiased perspective. Crystal also ‘talks’ it through, where you are helping yourself with the guidance of her expertise and experience. I’m beyond thankful she always had her phone on her and always answered when I needed her. Sometimes I just needed someone to listen to me and she was there. My life would be so different if Crystal wasn’t there for me through all of my ups and my downs. The tremendous amount of trust I have in her as she not only has personal experiences but she has the educational/experimental background automatically makes one feel comfortable. Thank you for your help in my past, present and future.

I know that Dr. Crystal Brown Lewis is a blessing in my life. Thank you so very much for the words of advice you have given me. When I think of counsel my mind and heart immediately goes to her. Because in this life we all will have trials and tribulations. I found myself in a stressful and difficult time. Dr. Brown has that reassuring demeanor and voice which just calms you and help you put things in perspective. My dilemma was regarding custody issues with my only grandson. Her knowledge on the matter and advice was right on target. It made the unknown much more tolerable. My concern for my son and grandson was addressed and I have not looked back. Although this is still on going I look to the future with confidence. Most assurredly she is a person of integrity not telling you what you want to hear but your reality in the matter at hand. In other words this is a person you can trust. Although my concern was for others she advised me to get regular massages for myself. Did it, loved it, and still doing it! My family and I just love her!

I met Dr. Lewis at s time in my life when both of our children were little and I was nine months to a year out of having my youngest daughter. I was in a very hormonal place in my spirit. I wanted to lose weight desperately and I wanted something else. I wasn’t exactly sure at the time but Dr. Lewis provided gentle vocal guidance along with some emotional time for my spirit at that time. She seemed to know exactly what I needed without having to ask.I value Dr. Lewis thoughts and non judgmental nature. She has been there for me at all life’s twist turns and collisions.

“You told me that when you are trying to support your husband, look at your ultimate goal. Your words are powerful so be aware of how you say things. When I was trying to encourage my husband through college, my words were insinuating that he is not good enough. You made me realize that my intent was honest and I wanted for him to be the best version of himself by not settling in a job that was comfortable. My goal was to support him and that meant at his worst while he is trying to figure it out. Finding a career in this fast paced world is hard, life shattering, and beyond challenging. You told me to keep reaching for my ambitious goals and just keep encouraging him. As a woman, don’t dim my shine of success because he loves me and that does not intimidate him. He will find his way and the best thing I can do is love him at his core. Love and cherish the relationship because that is providing the ultimate support. Your words allowed me to understand the behavior at a deeper level. Words will never be able to articulate my gratitude, Dr. Crystal Lewis.”

Over the years I’ve gotten a long range of sound advice from Crystal. Her ability of keeping you focused, calm, and honest comes from a genuine place. I feel like a better version of me because she is in my life.
