Krystal
Krystal brings the psychological and mental-health lens to The Darker Why. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), Licensed Social Worker (LSW) and Clinical Psychology PsyD candidate, she has spent her career working in behavioral health, mental health, and with individuals with complex clinical needs.
On the podcast, Krystal digs into the psychology beneath the headline—exploring mental health, trauma, relationships, risk factors, and the complicated question of why people behave the way they do. She’s especially interested in the places where psychology and real life refuse to fit into a neat explanation.
Outside the podcast, Krystal is a wife, mom of two, and pup mom to three. She’s an avid reader who loves psychological thrillers, twisty mysteries, and any book that keeps her guessing until the end—which probably explains why she’s always looking beneath the surface.
Because for Krystal, the most interesting question usually isn't just what happened?
It's why?
