A little about me

Portrait of Dr. Crystle Prung

I'm Dr. Crystle Prung (she/her), a licensed clinical psychologist (PSY 31568), practicing since 2010. My work rests on a simple belief: you deserve to understand yourself without being judged for what you find. In sessions, I listen closely and stay curious alongside you, making room for whatever you bring. I work within a psychodynamic and relational framework with individuals and couples across a wide range of backgrounds and lived experiences.

Before private practice, I worked with adolescents and adults with eating disorders across inpatient, residential, and intensive outpatient care. I received advanced training in psychoanalytic theory and technique at the Wright Institute Los Angeles (WILA) and have served on their clinical training and supervising faculty. To deepen my work with couples, I trained with the PACT Institute. I remain committed to my own personal and professional growth in service of providing the best care possible.
