Crystal Barry

I currently live in Vermont with my amazing daughters, Kaysie and Sky. I am the founder and Executive Director of a nonprofit that aims to bridge the criminal legal system and the mental health field. I’m a psychotherapist and advocate for equity and kindness. 


My twin sister, Jennifer, passed unexpectedly over 17 years ago. Even writing that out, I’ll say time is fast and slow all at once. I think of her daily, and blow her a kiss each night at the end of my prayers. 


Doing this podcast with Mandy has been a blessing and I am hopeful this podcast will allow listeners and guests the opportunity to feel seen, heard, and understood. Where there is no exact way of feeling in grief or gratitude, I do believe community and connection can help.
