How Crystal Mullen-Johnson turned tragedy into triumph
Company: Strive Counseling Services Title: Founder, CEO Locations: Birmingham and Demopolis, Alabama UNLOCK EVERY ARTICLE Get Started For Only $9 GAIN ACCESS TO EVERY LOCAL INSIGHT, LEAD AND MORE! Become A Member UNLOCK EVERY ARTICLE Get Started For Only $9 GAIN ACCESS TO EVERY LOCAL INSIGHT, LEAD AND MORE! Become A Member From the Birmingham Business Journal. Growing up as the daughter of a social worker and an entrepreneur, Crystal Mullen-Johnson knew starting her own company was in her future. Following a family tragedy when she was 14, the lack of mental health resources available to her motivated Mullen-Johnson to start her company, Strive Counseling Services. With locations in downtown Birmingham and Demopolis, Mullen-Johnson and her team of counselors provide adolescent, play, adult and couple therapy, as well as telehealth services. How did that hard childhood experience shape your professional career? My mom, unfortunately, passed away. We buried her the day before my 15th birthday. I love my mom; we spent so much time together and (losing her) really changed the trajectory of my life. What was missing during that critical stage of my development after my mom died was a therapist; no one guided me to get grief counseling. I knew I wanted to attend my mother's alma mater, Alabama A&M, so I pursued social work, pursued getting my master's degree and learned the model of establishing a business. That became my career track, and from there I pursued mental health. What are some recent trends in counseling you've noticed? There is a significant increase in African-American men seeking out treatment; it's a taboo conversation, mental health, and sometimes we are unlikely to seek treatment. Men are taught in boyhood to be tough and not cry but ... I have seen an increase where men are becoming more comfortable having conversations about how to overcome mental health challenges with someone that doesn't necessarily look like them. I (also) see a growing trend of therapists becoming independent practitioners as opposed to working within a group ... which I think provides more opportunities for people to select a business they want to work with. How do you take care of yourself outside of the office? Self-care is something I preach, teach and learn. My spirituality is my foundation for living, and I love journaling. I enjoy reading; I have a book club called Nurture and it's a group of professional women that gather together and we select a book once a quarter to read. I also love golfing, playing tennis and line dancing. What's a fun fact about you that not many people know? I was selected by American All-Star Dancers to perform at Super Bowl XXXII in San Diego with the Denver Broncos and Green Bay Packers.

Lions and Broncos guest announcers taunt Packers fans before making sixth-round picks at 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay
Green Bay brought the Midwest Nice to the football world this week as the host of the 2025 NFL Draft. Hey, how many other sites hand out free goodie bags at the airport? Many of the guest announcers recognized this niceness and hospitality on the draft stage throughout the week. Advertisement But a couple folks' team reps apparently didn't want to return the favor in the sixth round April 26. We're looking at you, Detroit Lions and Denver Broncos. Detroit Lions international fan taunts Packers fans First, it was Marius Dell, the Lions' international fan of the year. Waving a Lions flag that read 'Germany' across the bottom, Dell took to the stage to announce the team's pick of Boise State's Ahmed Hassanein with the 196th selection. 'What up, dog!' Dell yelled out to the crowd. 'Now, I want to hear all the Packers owners,' Dell challenged, clearly with a sarcastic tone. Then he referenced the Lions quarterback who helped beat the Packers twice last season. Advertisement 'Well, I honestly didn't hear Jared Goff,' he fired back. And while many guest announcers thanked Green Bay as the host site, Dell was only thanking the Lions. He also let everyone know that it's the Lions and not the Packers that have won the NFC North the last two years. 'I want to thank the Detroit Lions, the king of the North, having me this opportunity here,' he said. Dell wasn't the only one who threw shade at the Packers. It was the latest jab from the Lions at the Packers in recent days. The Lions' team president started the Green Bay bashing earlier this week. Nickel column: This weekend, let's remember Green Bay how it was then, and marvel at what it is now Kurt Tocci, content creator, reminds Packers fans of Broncos beating Green Bay in Super Bowl 32 About a half-hour later, a content creator announcing the pick for the Denver Broncos took it to another level in his 15 seconds of fame. Advertisement Wearing a Broncos jersey, Kurt Tocci set up his bit telling the crowd that folks in Green Bay 'are so nice.' 'Your hospitality is top-tier,' said Tocci, who has 1.6 million followers on YouTube. But it was all a setup. He then reminded the fine folks of Green Bay about the Broncos' 31-24 win over the Packers in Super Bowl XXXII in 1998 and brought up John Elway's rushing touchdown in the game.
