In establishing a therapeutic relationship between you and myself is to begin with an inviting warm welcome and thank you to you by allowing this journey of engagement between us. All relationships take risks and I am honored to provide a safe space for open dialogue between us.
I combine many therapeutic modalities (i.e.,CBT, DBT, to develop your treatment plan by using a strengths-based approach to empower goals tailored to your needs and areas of concern.
I use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, which is an evidenced-based psychotherapy designed to help people with emotional dysregulation to treat mood disorders, suicidal ideation, and for change in behavioral patterns such as self-harm and substance abuse.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is a psycho-social intervention that aims to improve your mental health by focusing on challenging and changing unhelpful cognitive distortion and behaviors, improving emotional regulation, and the development of personal coping strategies that target solving current problems.
I use Solution Focused Therapy, is an evidence-based therapeutic approach which incorporates positive psychological practices, principles, and outcomes that helps people change by constructing solutions rather than focusing on their problems. SFT is most commonly known to be a friendly, hope-eliciting, future- orientated vehicle for developing, achieving, motivating and sustaining a desired behavioral change.
I use Narrative Therapy, which is a form of psychotherapy that seeks to help people identify their values and skills and knowledge they have to live these values, so they can effectively confront the problems they face in a safe manner. This may also provide space to reflect on historical trauma and family values as it relates to the individual and their goals.
My goal is to establish a connection, whereby both you and I will partner, addressing that each person is an individual and worthy of a safe space to heal within themselves and within their relationships.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Amargo is very helpful and informative to my personal concerns and growth
Miss Crenshaw is both knowledgeable and very easy to talk to but is able to relate to me in a way I can fully understand and can take away clear points from our conversations/sessions.
Exactly what I needed. I have had trouble finding quality help with a Christian perspective. Perfect fit for me
My first Therapie session with Armago was wonderful. She tried her best to make me comfortable and took time to ask where I needed help as an individual. I instantly felt a relief on my shoulder after the first session.
She's always checking on me and gently pushing me to keep moving forward to deal with the issues I've ignored for years. She's wise and always makes me feel heard and appreciated.
I really liked her from the second we spoke. She is so knowledgeable and understanding So glad I found her
Amargo Crenshaw, is a straight forward supportive therapist. I appreciate her advice and strategies she has provided.
Very helpful and knowledgeable
Ms Crenshaw has been nothing less of amazing help. She has given me a safe place to talk, be comfortable and vulnerable to get the best help she can provide. I am beyond glad and blessed she’s my therapist/counsellor as she has a wealth of knowledge and experience and her way of talking through situations, hurt and problems shows it. Thank you Ms Crenshaw for being you and being transparent with everything.
