Meet Chrystal Dunkers, LPC, ACS
Therapist. Clinical supervisor. Website strategist.
I’m Chrystal Dunkers, LPC, ACS—a Black woman, business owner, and the person behind Point and Pivot Counseling Services and Chrystal Renee’.
I work with Black women navigating complicated family relationships and therapists developing their clinical skills and building their presence online. Across that work, I bring curiosity, cultural understanding, and a willingness to ask the questions that help us get somewhere.
MY STORYHow these parts of my work came together
I created Point and Pivot Counseling Services to help Black women navigate complicated mother-daughter relationships and understand how family patterns shape their lives today.
Building my practice taught me how much it matters to communicate that work clearly. That experience led to Chrystal Renee’, where I help therapists develop their messaging and websites.
As an Approved Clinical Supervisor, I also support New Jersey LACs in strengthening their clinical skills and professional judgment.
MY APPROACHWarm, direct, and willing to look closer.
In Therapy
We explore the connection between your family experiences and how you respond today. My approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Bowen Family Systems Theory to help you understand those patterns and practice choices that reflect your values.
In Supervision
We think through the work happening in your sessions. There’s room to ask questions, discuss uncertainty, and examine the reasoning behind your clinical decisions.
In Website Work
I listen to how you describe your clients and your approach. Through my S.I.T.E. Prep Method™, we develop your strategy and message before moving into website copy and design.
CULTURE AND PERSPECTIVEContext matters here.
Culture shapes what we’re taught about family, responsibility, success, and asking for help.
For Black women in therapy, that can mean exploring the pressure to honor a parent while making room for experiences that were painful. We can acknowledge love and loyalty alongside the need for boundaries.
For Black therapists, it can mean finding language that communicates the cultural understanding and specificity of their work—so potential clients can recognize what they offer.
I bring my lived experience into this work with care. I also stay curious about yours. A shared background creates a starting point for understanding; your individual experience guides the conversation.

WORKING TOGETHERYou can expect an active conversation.
I’ll ask for your perspective, explain my thinking, and invite you to consider possibilities you may not have explored.
Therapy involves understanding your experiences and practicing new responses. Supervision involves reflection, questions, and feedback. Website work involves collaboration so the finished message sounds like you and represents your practice accurately.
Each service has its own process. You can explore the details before deciding whether we’re a fit.
