Meet Crystal
Hi, I'm Crystal L. Fedeli.
I'm a social researcher and policy analyst, speaker, trainer, consultant, and an award-winning nonprofit Founder and Executive Director.
My work focuses on coercive control, institutional responses, and what happens when survivors must navigate the systems that shape their ability to move forward. I bring together research, systems knowledge, and survivor perspectives to help individuals better navigate these systems and institutions better respond.

2026 Nonprofit of the Year, Mayoral Award Recipient
In 2026, I was honored to receive the Nonprofit of the Year Award from Mayor Aneka Miller, Mayor of Bordentown, New Jersey, at her 2026 Mayoral Ball in recognition of serving justice impacted women with resources and support by founding and leading You Made a Way, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting women navigating coercive control when it turns financial.

“I felt like I was losing my sense of reality, but after engaging with Crystal’s work, everything began to make sense. I began to see that I’m not alone, that there is an explanation for what I experienced, and that there is a way through, and Crystal helped me find it.”
