Axel R. Cristales, LPC, CBT-I

Insomnia Specialist

Axel Cristales, LPC, has over 15 years of experience as a counselor. He is trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) and has a passion for helping clients achieve better sleep. Here is a snippet from Axel: My role as a therapist is to help clients see themselves not through the lens of their mental illness or emotional struggles, but through the strength and resilience that empower them to overcome. If you're ready to transform your life, I encourage you to take that first step. The first step is always the hardest, but it can also be the most powerful.

Axel's approach to therapy:

My role as a therapist is to help clients see themselves not through the lens of their mental illness or emotional struggles, but through the strength and resilience that empower them to overcome. It is a privilege to walk alongside people in their pain, their love, and their hope—to witness and honor the depth of their stories. The first step is always the hardest, but it can also be the most powerful. I hope that, when ready, you find the courage to begin. You owe it to yourself—and to those who care about you.

I am committed to providing you with a safe, judgment-free space where you can openly express your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Here, you will always be met with active listening, empathy, and unconditional positive regard—support and acceptance. Beyond self-understanding, I will encourage you to take meaningful risks that foster growth and change.

Hope is what carries us forward. As a guide in your journey of healing and transformation, I look forward to working with you. If you're ready to take the first step, please don't hesitate to reach out— you've made it this far, why not go a little further?
