Renda Crabtree, MA, LPC

I offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy for individuals and couples seeking support with intimacy, sexual wellness, anxiety, and the lasting impact of trauma. Many people come to therapy feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or disconnected—from their bodies, their partners, or themselves. My role is to provide a safe, steady, and non-judgmental space where healing and curiosity can unfold at your pace.

As a sex therapist, I support clients navigating concerns such as low or mismatched desire, arousal or orgasm difficulties, erectile dysfunction, performance anxiety, trauma-related sexual concerns, and problematic or compulsive sexual behaviors. I also work with individuals and couples adjusting to changes in sexual functioning related to childbirth, surgery, aging, chronic health conditions, or end-of-life transitions. My approach is inclusive, sex-positive, and deeply trauma-informed—honoring both your lived experience and your nervous system’s need for safety.

Anxiety often shows up alongside intimacy and relationship concerns, whether as worry, avoidance, perfectionism, or feeling “on edge” in your body or relationships. I work with teens and adults to address anxiety, mood concerns, attachment wounds, and trauma, helping clients develop greater emotional regulation, self-trust, and connection. Therapy can support you in understanding the protective patterns that once helped you survive, while gently making space for new ways of relating—to yourself and others.

I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming provider and am especially passionate about serving the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and their families. It is important to me that every client feels respected, supported, and welcomed exactly as they are. You do not need to explain or justify your identity, desires, or experiences here.

My therapeutic approach draws from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and EMDR as an EMDRIA-trained clinician. I am also currently pursuing certification in Sex Therapy through the Sexual Health Alliance. I enjoy integrating creativity and collaboration into the therapy process, tailoring each session to your unique strengths, needs, and goals.

Before becoming a therapist, I built a strong background in business, leadership, and process improvement. This experience informs my work by creating a therapy space that feels both compassionate and grounded—structured when needed, flexible when appropriate, and always centered on your autonomy and growth.

Life can bring grief, parenting stress, relationship challenges, identity exploration, or the long-term effects of trauma. Reaching out for support isn’t always easy—but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Whatever brings you here, you are welcome.

Therapy is a collaborative process, and it is an honor to walk alongside you. Whether you’re healing from trauma, navigating anxiety, exploring sexuality or identity, or moving through a difficult transition, we’ll move forward together, at a pace that feels safe and sustainable.
