Therapy with Kristie.

  • Weekly Therapy

    I specialize in working with adults seeking EMDR and IFS therapies.

    I love joining my weekly clients as they navigate complex life situations. Weekly therapy provides a lot of ongoing support from someone who knows you well. We do life together.

  • EMDR Blocks

    I also offer the option to meet once per week for 3-4 hours until you experience symptom resolution. This works well over telehealth.

    These blocks may be conducted in person or via telehealth.

  • EMDR Intensives

    I meet with clients in person for 20-30 hours of direct counseling over the course of 4-5 days. I usually schedule 5 or 6 hours of therapy per day along with a 1-hour break.

    I prefer to provide this level of therapy in person only.

What is an EMDR Intensive?

EMDR intensive therapy is offered in a variety of formats. I prefer to meet with my clients in person for 20-30 hours of direct counseling over the course of 4-5 days. I usually schedule 5 or 6 hours of therapy per day, along with a 1-hour break. While I prefer to do week-long intensives in person, I am open to telehealth if we determine it to be a good fit.

My EMDR-intensive clients say that I help them put the pieces together as they make sense of their lived experiences, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. I assume responsibility for keeping the intensives on task and making the best use of our time together to find symptom resolution.

Please note I am only licensed in the state of Texas so my clients must be physically in Texas at the time of treatment.

I offer a one-hour consultation at no cost to determine if we are a good fit if I can help, and ensure that an intensive is right for you.

Good Faith Estimate (GFE)

Under the No Surprises Act (H.R. 133 - effective January 1, 2022), healthcare providers need to give clients or patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. This Good Faith Estimate (GFE) shows the costs of items and services you can reasonably expect for your healthcare needs. You have the right to receive a GFE for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. The GFE does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. You may experience additional charges if complications or exceptional circumstances occur. If you receive a bill of at least $400 more than your GFE, you may dispute or appeal the bill. You may contact the health care provider or facility listed to let them know the billed charges are higher than the GFE. You may ask them to update the bill to match the GFE, negotiate the bill, or ask if financial assistance is available. You may also start a dispute resolution process with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). If you choose to use the dispute resolution process, you must start the dispute process within 120 calendar days (about four months) of the date on the original bill. There is a $25 fee to use the dispute process. If the agency reviewing your dispute agrees with you, you will have to pay the price on this GFE. If the agency disagrees with you and agrees with the health care provider or facility, you will have to pay the higher amount. Make sure your healthcare provider gives you a GFE within the following timeframes:

  • If the service is scheduled at least three business days before the appointment date, no later than one business day after the date of scheduling;

  • If the service is scheduled at least ten business days before the appointment date, no later than three business days after the date of schedule; or

  • If the uninsured or self-pay client requests a GFE (without scheduling the service), no later than three business days after the date of the request. Healthcare providers must supply a new GFE within the specified timeframes if the patient reschedules the requested item or service.

Note: A Good Faith Estimate is for your awareness only and does not require immediate financial commitment or payment.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate or the dispute process, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059. Keep a copy of this Good Faith Estimate in a safe place or take pictures of it. You may need it if you receive a bill in a higher amount.
