His theoretical orientation for therapy is integrative, influenced by client-centered, interpersonal process, and psychodynamic therapies. However, he also integrates reality therapy, expressive arts, narrative therapy, CBT, DBT, ACT, etc. in the treatment plan depending on what might be most helpful to meet each client where they are. Dr. Crutchfield’s approach typically encourages a greater awareness of one’s needs, as this enables reaching goals in more intentional and adaptive ways. He also prioritizes the value of emotional communication and aims to facilitate connection, growth, and healing. As a Christian with personal experience in long-term recovery from addiction to drugs and alcohol, Dr. Crutchfield welcomes the integration of spirituality into the biopsychosocial model for client’s who find that approach valuable.
