Intimacy Coordinator
8 hrs | Inquire via EmailWith over three decades of rich experience working with iconic figures in the arts and a Ph.D., I embody the convergence of artistic creativity and profound therapeutic insight. 'Intimacy Coordinator'—an emerging but vitally important title within the industry—I seamlessly integrate Wellness Therapy Services into TV and film production. This vital contribution enhances operational efficiency and plays a crucial role in resolving potential conflicts, fostering a more cohesive and positive set environment.
The glitz of the TV and film industry often obscures the intense demands and stress it places on its workforce, with the mental and emotional well-being of cast and crew frequently underestimated. Yet, there is an increasing awareness in the industry of the need to address these challenges, more so in today’s heightened stress climate.
My extensive experience in production has honed my ability to safeguard the team's emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being, addressing underlying anxieties or uncertainties through supportive and gentle interactions. This awareness strategy aims to create a production environment that is not only healthier but also more cohesive and nurturing, ensuring that every individual feels valued and supported.

Medication Management
60 mins | Contact CristalAfter the psychiatric evaluation by our in-house board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), follow-up visits will involve medication management if starting medications is part of your treatment plan. Are you starting a new medication(s)? Typically when a medication naïve patient starts medication(s) for the first time, frequent monitoring is strongly suggested. This will naturally come as calling the office within two weeks of starting a prescription to ensure you're doing well with the current medication dosage. Follow-up visits for patients starting new drugs occur every four weeks until we have reached an effective dose with no to minimal side effects. Once the adequate amount is reached, follow-up visit frequency extends. Crystal's general practice philosophy, especially with medication naïve patients, is to start medication(s) at low doses while slowly titrating up the medication dosage. Specializing in treating those diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), mood disorders including bipolar, depressive, and anxious mood disorders; post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and survivors of abuse; and psychotic disorders from childhood to late adolescence to older adulthood.
