Crystal Cross, Ph. D., LMFT | Bixby, OK

Crystal L. Cross is a dedicated therapist specializing in crisis, trauma, marriage and family, addiction, and Christian counseling. Raised in Bixby, educated in Owasso, and now rooted in the Sapulpa/Sand Springs area, Crystal brings deep local understanding and heartfelt compassion to her work. Her own healing journey and faith play a central role in her calling to serve others, inspiring her to help individuals and families find freedom, hope, and restoration. Crystal holds a master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Oral Roberts University and a Ph.D. in Crisis and Trauma Counseling from Regent University. In addition to her clinical work, she is also a professor at a Christian university, training the next generation of therapists to begin their own work in guiding others toward healing. 

Crystal chose Axis because she felt led by God to a place that truly loves its patients, and she considers it a privilege to walk alongside people as they navigate some of life’s most difficult struggles. Known for creating a safe and honest space, she approaches therapy with depth, sincerity, and a commitment to “root work” rather than surface-level solutions. A wife and mother of six—five living and one with the Lord—Crystal’s life is filled with family, faith, and the joy of caring for her many farm animals. Whether reading, resting, or spending weekends with her loved ones, she strives to live with authenticity and purpose. Above all, her patients can expect to be seen, heard, and supported every step of the way as they rediscover their voice and move toward healing.
