Meet Your TherapistS and ConsultantS

Cristal Martinez Acosta, LPC-S, NCC, CCTP (she/her/ella) is the Owner and Founder of Clarity El Paso. She (her/hers) has extensive expertise in the treatment of children, adolescents, and families who have experienced traumatic events. She understands that trauma is completely subjective and a highly personal experience with roots in racism, colonization, historical oppression, and intergenerational patterns passed down to us from our families.

As an expert in the organizational and clinical implementation of trauma-informed care, Cristal is certified in EMDR, PCIT, and TFCBT. She earned her BA in Psychology from UTEP and her graduate degree in Guidance and Counseling from New Mexico State University. Cristal is prepared to meet you where you are in your healing journey and make your trauma therapy experience a fully collaborative process from the start.

After 10 years as a therapist in the nonprofit sector, she also now runs her own clinical training and consultation practice. Additionally, she is the host and creator of a mental health podcast called “Through the Eyes of a Therapist” and contributes written work as a mental health blogger on various websites. Cristal currently teaches at the University of Texas at El Paso as an adjunct faculty member in the Mental Health Counseling Program, and her presence in the wider community makes her a highly sought-after clinician for speaking engagements and therapy. (Please be patient with her waitlist process and she will give you the high-quality mental health care you deserve!) She currently accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Optum, Cigna, and Aetna insurances.
