Rowan Crawfish - LPC, ATR-P, NCC
Welcome! I’m a Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Art Therapist in Georgia, committed to providing person-centered and empowerment-based care for diverse populations. My work focuses on social justice, advocacy, and affirming support for individuals with chronic health conditions, complex trauma, and diverse lived experiences. I integrate a range of approaches, including Attachment-based therapy, Art Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Neurodiverse-Affirming and Art-Based Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and somatic therapies, to create a supportive and healing space tailored to each client’s needs.
As a 2SLGBTQIA+, chronically ill, disabled, neurodiverse, secular, and fat therapist, I strive to create an equitable, safe, and affirming space for people of all identities, abilities, races, ages, genders, sexual orientations, and body sizes. Whether you’re navigating body image concerns, living with chronic pain or illness, facing barriers in the medical system, working through family dynamics, processing trauma, impacted by systemic oppression, exploring your creativity or sense of self, questioning neurodivergence, navigating late diagnosis or simply seeking support through life’s challenges, I’m here to help.
As a 2SLGBTQIA+, neurodiverse, and chronically ill clinician, I provide affirming and person-centered support. I specialize in assisting late-diagnosed neurodivergent adults learn how to accommodate themselves and build self-compassion. I offer affirming exploration into neurotypes. I specialize in 2SLGBTQIA+, neurodivergent or folks who suspect they might be chronically ill clients build self-compassion, reduce shame, find answers, strengthen medical advocacy, strengthen self-advocacy and affirmation, grow self-acceptance, accommodate themselves, feel seen, heard, and build community.
In my work with 2SLGBTQIA+, chronically ill, and neurodiverse adults navigating CPTSD, I center self-compassion, healing, and grief processing through an integrative approach. Using attachment-based therapy, I help clients understand relational patterns, rebuild trust, and strengthen their connections with themselves and others. Art therapy offers a space for creative expression beyond words, allowing for the processing of trauma, loss, and identity exploration in ways that are consent based and autonomy affirming. Empowerment and advocacy are woven into every session, ensuring clients feel seen, validated, and supported as they navigate systemic barriers and reclaim their narratives. Holistic practices, including mindfulness and somatic awareness, provide grounding tools to foster emotional regulation and deepen self-compassion. Through a social justice and attachment-based lens, I create a therapeutic space where clients can honor their grief, reconnect with themselves, and move toward healing.
My approach to therapy is centered on seeing you as a whole person and understanding the systems that shape your experiences. I believe in fostering a space where collaboration, consent, and personal autonomy guide our work together. While I often incorporate art therapy, attachment based therapy, and holistic methods, every session is tailored to what feels most effective and comfortable for you.
You don’t need any background in art to benefit from art therapy—it’s about the process not the product or artistic skill. My role is to support and walk alongside you as you navigate your path toward healing and growth.
Outside of therapy, I spend my time with my spouse and pets, tending to my plants, crocheting, knitting, and reading. I’m especially passionate about working with communities that have been historically excluded, ensuring that everyone I work with feels seen, valued, and supported. Wherever you are in your journey, I’m here to help.
This is not traditional “old school” therapy. Therapy with me is about the power of the therapeutic relationship. Here, we show up as ourselves. If you are looking for a therapist you can have a genuine therapeutic relationship with who responds with emotion and not as an emotionless blank slate this is the place for you. Here, I fidget, stim, craft, and swear along side you. I show up as myself so you can show up as your self! Tattoos, piercings, and casual attire are welcomed and appreciated here. I walk alongside you on your journey, give encouragement, challenge you when needed, celebrate your wins, and support you when things don’t go the way you planned. I provide oodles of resources and will guide you in exploration of how various systems are impacting you. I believe you are the expert on your life and lived experience and I am here to help you see the knowledge you already hold! Therapy with me is collaborative and views you as a whole person. Here, you can show up as yourself and find support where you need it most.
