ABOUT THE THERAPIST
Cristan Steimel
LBSW, LPC, CMC
Cristan is a Licensed Baccalaureate Social Worker, Licensed Professional Counselor, and Certified Care Manager.
She graduated with honors from Lamar University with a Master of Education Degree in Counseling and Human Development. She has been working in the field of care management for over 10 years, specializing in individuals with disabilities which is a field she is extremely passionate about.
Professional Experience
Cristan began as an intern at Spindletop Center during her senior year of college, and was hired as a Waiver Program Coordinator upon graduation. Spindletop Center provides services for those with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities in the Beaumont, Texas area. During her time in graduate school for counseling she provided therapy for youth at risk and to those in the correctional system. During the pandemic she began to explore the option of providing therapy virtually and offered services through platforms like SonderMind, BetterHelp, and Headway.
As a care manager at a private company for over 10 years, she has helped many of her clients learn how to navigate the system and obtain the supports they need. During that time she’s also identified the service gaps that people with disabilities still experience in our system, including the lack of mental health counselors that focus on this population.
From the Therapist
I grew up with a younger cousin who had several physical disabilities, introducing me to the difficulties people often face at a young age.
During my senior year of high school, my grandmother developed Alzheimer’s and we watched her dementia slowly progress, I assisted in taking care of her when not in school. During college I was introduced to the Best Buddies program which pairs college students to “buddies” in the community with disabilities. Not long after I joined, I was appointed as the President and responsible for recruiting new participants. This afforded me the opportunity to attend the Best Buddies Leadership Conference in Indiana during my senior year.
The Best Buddies Leadership Conference unites Best Buddies leaders, volunteers, and community advocates from around the globe to imagine, create, lead, and empower the future of disability rights and inclusion. This further ignited my passion for this area!
Limitless Life Counseling, PLLC was formed in 2024 with a focus on Special Needs Counseling. I believe that both my lived and professional experience have an impact on my approach with each individual and their unique situation. I strive to provide the right environment for my clients to feel accepted, valued, and empowered!
Together we will work together to identify the best approach for you.
