Crissy Schmieder (she/her), LCSW, LCAS, CCS
Outpatient Psychotherapist in Downtown Raleigh
Hi! My name is Crissy Schmieder and I am proud to be a clinician at Three Oaks Behavioral Health and Wellness! I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from Campbell University and my Master of Social Work from North Carolina State University. I’m dually licensed as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist (LCAS).
I use a variety of therapy models, depending on your needs, to support meaningful and lasting healing. A few of those include: CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy), TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), PSB (Problematic Sexual Behavior ages 7-12), and PCIT (Parent-Child Interaction Therapy). I specialize in working with clients navigating a range of challenges, including chronic and complex trauma, anxiety, and depression. My expertise also covers self-esteem, addiction, and the specific needs of women, such as those related to menopause and chronic illness, as well as managing parenting stress.
I am committed to providing you with a safe, nonjudgmental, and supportive space where you can process your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. My approach emphasizes the strength of the therapeutic relationship, empowerment, and compassionate support as key ingredients for personal growth. I would be honored to join you on your healing journey when you are ready to begin.
In my free time, I’m usually spending time with my family, curled up with a good book, or enjoying the company of my two very spoiled poodles, which often means taking a good nap!
