About Krystal Pennington, LPC, LMFT
Hello, I am Krystal! I am a mom of four. I currently live in Nagoya Japan with my family. I love reading fun fiction or mysteries and I am a hard core sucker for Hallmark movies. I know, all the same stories just with a different face but I think it calls to my therapist's heart and makes me see the magic in relationships even in the ones we “know” are going to turn out there is always a journey. I love being a mom, most days because let's be honest some are hard, but I always strive to be better than yesterday and try to own up when I make mistakes. To me, it feels like my travels (I’ve also lived in Germany for a few years and a few states other than Texas) I have learned a deeper respect for other cultures and through this have grown a different perspective of the world. I earned my BS in Psychology from University of Phoenix (thankful for a place that traveled the world with me) and my MA in Professional Counseling from Texas Wesleyan University in Fort Worth. After I completed my degree, I worked during the heart of the pandemic at MHMR in Fort Worth working with families. Not long after we moved here to Nagoya and I have loved making I Choose Change my home for the past few years. When I’m not working you can find me reading, watching fun new shows, and enjoying the sights of Japan!
