After a decade of working within schools, group homes, residential facilities, community mental health, and family therapy settings, she brings a breadth of experience to clients facing an array of challenges. Dr. Crone utilizes therapeutic techniques tailored to fit your needs, drawing from Psychodynamic, Cognitive-Behavioral, and Multicultural/Feminist therapy. She is committed to helping adolescents and adults reduce feelings of anxiety, depression, low self esteem, isolation, and confusion. Dr. Crone collaborates with clients to obtain a holistic picture including culture, family history and dynamics, inner and relational conflicts, and treatment goals. She helps clients explore traumas, microaggressions, and family or societal messages which may impede an individual’s ability to overcome feelings of guilt or shame, trust oneself and others, make successful life transitions, or simply relax and live authentically. Dr. Crone offers expertise in working with individuals within the LGBTQ+ community and has provided training to other clinicians for improved care of transgender and non-binary clients. Her research has included an integration of a cultural lens to better understand relational development, and she continues to utilize ongoing education to improve effectiveness with clients of diverse backgrounds. Dr. Crone provides training regarding diversity, clinical skills, and therapeutic interventions and remains committed to improving quality mental health care. She is licensed in both Illinois and Michigan and can treat clients in both states.

“We can address a number of issues by expanding self-understanding, changing thought patterns, and helping you feel more in control of your own happiness. We will draw upon the trust and connection emerging in the therapeutic relationship for healing and growth. Relational therapy enables you to practice and explore pitfalls you experience in life outside of therapy and position for more intentional and functional patterns.”
