HEALING LOUNGE
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.

I am forever indebted for saving my son’s life and for inspiring me to begin my own holistic journey. It has been a few years, and my son is doing amazing. Since that time, I have brought my mother and younger son to meet Michele with the same miraculous results. She has healed my family on a deep spiritual level. She has saved my family’s lives and, in turn, saved mine. I am truly thankful for the gift of Michele Bell in my life. Her spiritual approach comes from her heart to heal . Her custom one-on-one wellness retreats are life changing.
Thank you so much, one session with my daughter Alexis changed her life. After losing her therapy dog she met her that next day. Thanks to you she was able to get through one of her biggest losses, you’re an inspiration. She is now healing others in nursing homes with her new puppy. I recommended Michele to one of my closest friends. She has been struggling with her teenager and suicide issues. I was so happy I did because she went on a wellness retreats. Bless you and all you do.
After five years of begging my daughter to get help, I found Michele under retreats for young adults. She immediately scheduled a session. I was nervous my baby girl would not go. I dropped her off and when I picked her up she said “Mom I’m ready”. Michele managed to talk my daughter into a 30-day program. The weeks ahead, Michele diligently interviewed 30 day facilities. Two weeks later, that morning she was packed and ready. The driver picked her up for a 6 hour drive to the facility. Forever grateful. My baby girl is back in college and loves her life.
Michele is the most inspirational woman I’ve ever met in my entire life! I am privileged and honored to call her one of my best friends. We both met going through the hardest times of our lives. It was heartbroken. She spoke words like an angel to ease my pain. I always feel better and uplifted after being around Michelle even if I’m not in a bad place that day. Michelle’s words are healing like a mother’s kiss on a cut. I would follow Michelle around the world to hear her speak absolutely love her.
I did some soul searching with Michele. She offered three day wellness retreats. All these years going to therapy Michele guided me back to LIVE in 3 days. She is one of the best intuitive life coaches out there, not to mention like the best person ever. Thank you for helping me on my journey. Her Cut the Cord ceremony allowed me to let go of the negativity and heart break that is trying to hold me back. You truly are amazing!
Michele Bell has inspired me, when my own son had returned from deployment with cancer. I was so scared and lost. She took me under her wing and walked me through the steps as a Cancer Mom. There for me every step of the way for the entire time he was in chemo until now. With her courage, love, and peace. She helped me become strong for him. What a gift she has given me. And to all of us who have crossed paths with this wonderful lady.
