Our Providers

Crystal Hotchkin

Crystal Hotchkin, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker – Located in Wake Forest, NC

After two decades of practice in New York, including work at Columbia, Crystal recently relocated to North Carolina to enjoy a slower pace and more sunshine. With over 20 years of experience, she offers compassionate, nonjudgmental support for individuals, couples, and families facing challenges. Crystal’s approach is rooted in empathy and patience. She believes that our past deeply shapes our present — and that with understanding and care, meaningful growth is always possible. She works at your pace to help you explore emotions, uncover patterns, and find new ways forward. Her clinical expertise includes codependency, depression, and family conflict, along with support for trauma, anxiety, addiction, OCD, and more. She adapts her methods to meet each client’s unique needs. Crystal works with children (6+), teens, adults, and elders — offering a space where every client is welcomed just as they are. Contacting a therapist may feel embarrassing, or like something you never thought you would have to do. However, that first step will become empowering. You will never look back, and will be surprised you didn't call sooner.
