Education
Dr. Elisabeth R. Crim, a Licensed Psychologist, earned her Ph.D. in
Clinical Psychology (1998) from the Graduate School of Psychology of
Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, CA where she also earned a
Master of Arts degree in Psychology (1994). While at Fuller, she also
earned a M.A. in Theology from Fuller's School of Theology (1998). Prior
to her studies at Fuller Theological Seminary, Dr. Crim earned a Master
of Arts degree in Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family
Therapy and Elementary School Counseling from the School of Education
and Counseling at Regent University (1990). As of 2007, she is also a
Certified Relax & Renew Yoga Teacher.
Experience
Over the last 20 years, Dr. Crim has served children, adolescents, adults,
couples, groups, and families in the states of Oklahoma, Virginia,
Tennessee, and California. She has provided psychotherapy and
psychological assessment in both private and public sector outpatient,
inpatient, day treatment, and residential settings throughout her career.
She has served as direct service provider, supervisor, program manager,
training director, consultant, trainer, program developer, and author for
child, adolescent and adult populations and/or the professionals serving
them. She has produced large scale CEU events, been interviewed on
local television, and served in both Christian, other Spiritual, and Secular
settings.
Currently, in addition to her active private practice in the South Bay area
of Los Angeles, California, she is the CEO and Director of Moonstone
Center, a sacred space of learning and healing for healing professionals
as well as the individuals, couples, families and groups they serve.
Clinical Approach
Clinically, Dr. Elisabeth Crim offers a holistic, relationship-based and
team-based approach to psychological assessment, treatment, and
consultation that is well-founded, current, and grounded in the context of a
fierce commitment to the individual subjective experience of the child,
adolescent, adult, couple and/or family presenting for evaluation and
treatment. Her training has been influenced by both psychodynamic and
cognitive behavioral theories and therapies and the supervisors and
teachers who operated and taught from those approaches. Most
significantly in her training and development as a spiritually-minded
psychotherapist and psychologist were Dr. Diane P. Hoover, Dr. Robert
Black, Dr. Rosie Hughes and Dr. Mark Baker. Dr. Baker’s supervision
and training in Dr. Robert Stolorow’s Intersubjective Approach to
Psychoanalytic Treatment remains the core theory from which Dr. Crim
works. She had the privilege of studying with Dr. Stolorow himself for 2
years following leaving her psychological assistantship with Dr. Baker
and still considers him a trusted mentor. Dr. Baker also remains a
trusted friend and mentor in his ongoing practice in Santa Monica and
Pasadena, CA as Executive Director of LaVie Center.
Holistic Treatment & Intersubjective Approach to Psychoanalytic
Treatment
The Intersubjective Approach allows for an individualized approach to
each person, couple, family and group that presents for treatment. It is
both systemic and process-oriented. It is an approach that honors and
requires responsible attention to be paid not only to the subjective
experience of the client, but to the subjective experience of the therapist
who is present with the client offering interventions for mental, emotional,
and relational healing. Dr. Crim operates from this approach and now is
applying it to physical and spiritual functioning, restoration, and healing as
it interfaces with the mental, emotional and relational aspect of the
individual, seeing each area of human functioning as interconnected and
interdependent.
The Integration of Psychology and Spirituality
Dr. Crim has actively studied and practiced the integration of psychology
and spirituality both in theory and practice, in educational settings, clinical
treatment settings, and religious settings and in lectures and trainings to
both the general public and professional audiences. She has developed
Moonstone Center as a sacred space in which to actively attend to the
process of integration by inviting and joining with other healing
professionals in the endeavor of safely and responsibly studying and
applying research-based and cutting edge approaches to holistic health.
CEO & Director of Moonstone Center
As Director of Moonstone Center, Dr. Crim draws on her many years of
experience in both psychological and spiritual disciplines to actively
explore and develop research-based and cutting edge clinical
approaches to facilitating health and wellness in human beings in a
manner that is holistic, honoring and addressing the person's being in its
entirety, mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, and relationally. Her
approach is collaborative and integrative, inviting the knowledge, wisdom
and insights from many disciplines, religions, philosophies, and cultures
to bear on the most effective treatment for persons seeking relief of
distress and disorder and finding balance and wholeness in their lives.
It has been Dr. Crim's longstanding dream to create a space in which
psychology and spirituality and the many other healing arts and sciences
could openly join for purposes of study, integration, and healing.
Moonstone Center is the fulfillment of that dream. Moonstone Center is a
sacred space of Reflection, Discovery, Healing-Restoration, and Source,
a place in which one can find her/his true essence reflected back to
her/himself in truth and beauty and love on the path to wholeness and
living life fully.
