02 · In Krystine's own words

What Krystine says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

My name is Krystine Garay. I am a licensed mental health counselor, marriage family therapist, and certified telehealth practitioner.

Raised in Miami, Florida, and being part of the Hispanic community, I have been able to serve my community by providing services in English and Spanish. Throughout my six years in the field, I have served an array of individuals, including children, adolescents, and adults. I have had clinical experiences in domestic violence, substance abuse, navigating family conflicts within the court system, co-occurring disorders (specifically in children), and mental health disorders.

As a psychology intern, I have completed clinical rotations, including Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, where I aided children in navigating co-occurring disorders. I would provide mindfulness exercises, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and dialectical-behavioral techniques to assist in understanding their medical diagnosis in conjunction with building coping skills to manage psychological and physiological symptoms.

“If you can dance in the rain, you can overcome any storm.” “Personal growth is about progress, not perfection.” I am passionate about the psychological field and I look forward to continuing to plant the seed of change for all my clients. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

03 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Krystine practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Krystine's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Krystine at this point.

2. Naming Krystine specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Krystine is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Krystine.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

04 · Before you commit

2 questions worth asking Krystine

Built from what Krystine actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Krystine's - Krystine has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

• “You offer sessions in English and Spanish. Does the work change depending on which we use?”

  People often reach different material in a first language than in a second. Worth naming before you choose.

06 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Krystine's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Krystine. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
