As a leader, mediator, trauma coach, and therapist, Krystal Boothe, LCSW, is dedicated to building systems where healing is normalized, equity is prioritized, and no one is left behind.
Why I Lead
By Krystal Boothe, Founder of Wings of the Future Companies
I didn’t set out to be a CEO; I stepped into leadership because the systems I worked in were failing the very people they claimed to serve.
As a therapist, I saw too many clients falling through the cracks. As a woman of faith, I saw too many families suffering in silence. And as a survivor, I knew what it felt like to be dismissed, unseen, and misunderstood. I became a leader because someone had to build what didn’t exist, and I decided to stop waiting for permission.
I lead because I believe healing should be accessible, practical, and culturally relevant.
I lead because I believe trauma-informed care isn’t just a method, it’s a movement.
I lead because I know what it means to rise from survival and create legacy.
Being a CEO isn’t about titles or control. It’s about responsibility.
It’s about having the courage to do the hard things, say the true things, and build the healing spaces no one else was brave enough to create. I lead with empathy, because I’ve lived the pain. I lead with vision, because I’ve seen what’s possible.
I became a CEO not to stand above, but to lift others up.
To build systems where healing is normalized, equity is prioritized, and no one is left behind.
To remind the next generation of leaders, especially Black women, that they, too, can rise.
Why I Mediate
By Krystal Boothe, Certified Trauma-Informed Mediator
Mediation, for me, is more than a conflict resolution tool, it’s a healing modality.
I mediate because I’ve seen what unresolved pain does to people, families, and organizations. I’ve walked with survivors of trauma, burnout, and betrayal, and I know that beneath every argument is an unmet need, a cry for safety, understanding, and connection.
Mediation is where rupture meets repair. It’s the sacred space where emotional chaos slows down, and clarity begins to emerge. It’s where people learn to speak without shame and listen without defense. That’s not just communication, it’s transformation.
As a trauma-informed therapist and leader, I bring more than neutrality to the table; I bring attunement. I understand the nervous system. I understand fear responses. And I understand that behind every harsh word is often a wounded story. I mediate to help people rewrite those stories, not by avoiding conflict, but by moving through it with courage, compassion, and clear boundaries.
I mediate because I believe people can heal.
I mediate because I believe relationships can be rebuilt.
And I mediate because I believe peace is not passive, it’s something we must practice.
Why I’m a Coach
By Krystal Boothe, Trauma Recovery Coach
I coach because high-achieving, heart-centered people are burning out trying to hold it all together, and no one taught them how to heal.
They’ve built lives around performance, perfectionism, and survival, often carrying invisible wounds from childhood, culture, or toxic systems. I help them stop the cycle — not just by changing habits, but by rewiring the way they relate to themselves.
My coaching isn’t about productivity hacks. It’s about nervous system recovery.
It’s about shifting out of survival mode and into sustainable wholeness.
It’s about learning how to lead yourself with empathy, so you can lead others with integrity.
I coach because healing doesn’t have to take decades.
I coach because you don’t have to earn your worth.
And I coach because you’re allowed to build a life that actually feels good to live in, not just one that looks good from the outside.
Why I’m a Therapist
By Krystal Boothe, LCSW
I became a therapist because I needed someone like me when I was struggling.
I know what it’s like to grow up in chaos and carry the weight of survival into adulthood. I understand the silent exhaustion, the nervous system constantly on edge, the sense that no one truly sees you, not for who you are, but for what you’ve endured and overcome.
Therapy, for me, is sacred. It’s a space where shame is dismantled, defenses soften, and people come home to themselves. As a trauma-informed therapist, I don’t pathologize pain, I understand it. I trace it back to its roots in the nervous system, the family system, the spiritual system. And then, together, we begin the work of restoration.
I’m not here to “fix” people.
I’m here to walk beside them as they remember who they were before the world made them forget.
This is healing work. This is legacy work. This is why I do what I do.
