WORD ON THE STREET
"As a practitioner who began as a solo therapist and expanded into a holistic wellness practice, I wish this book had been available before I started my practice. Crystal's transparency in addressing the challenges, barriers, and pitfalls that therapists and business owners face is invaluable. Her advocacy for herself, starting from graduate school and extending through her interactions with insurance companies, is truly inspiring."
​
Rhaea Goff, LCSW-, LCSW-C, Certified Purpose Clarity Coach and Founder of A Rhaea Hope
"Crystal Joseph, in her second year at her private practice less than two miles from the nation’s capitol, recalls the day after the presidential election. “All my clients were crying. They couldn’t verbalize how they were feeling.” Since then, she’s seen “higher rates of panic attacks” among her clients."

Depressed While Black: Emboldened Racism Takes a Toll on African-American Mental Health
"It can be difficult to know how often to ask a loved one about their cancer and how they’re doing. Maybe you worry that asking them will make them feel depressed or you won’t know how to respond if they don’t have any encouraging news. Joseph recommends letting the person with cancer lead the discussion, waiting for them to bring it up."
