Tea Talk core

Cristal Ngo is a professional counselor and a doctoral student in Counseling. She offers holistic, trauma-informed care for individuals, couples, and families, integrating evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Family Systems Therapy. Her work is also grounded in somatic and mindfulness-based approaches, including Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE®), Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) and Psychedelic Harm Reduction & Integration.

 

Cristal specialises in helping clients navigate a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, burnout, sleep issues, relationship difficulties, trauma-related flashbacks and nightmares, perfectionism, substance use, and spiritual disconnection. She supports healing on multiple levels—mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual—by addressing the nervous system and gently releasing trauma stored in the body.

 

Cristal brings over a decade of experience in meditation and somatic practices, offering an approach that is compassionate, present, and integrative. What matters most to her is creating a safe, collaborative space where clients can explore, feel, and heal—at their own pace, in their own way. Therapy doesn’t have to be just about talking. Sometimes it’s about breathing. Sometimes it’s about remembering your body is a home, not a battleground. And sometimes, it’s simply about having someone walk beside you as you find your way.
