Chrishina J. Scott, LPC

(She/Her)

TELEHEALTH Counseling in Georgia & Arizona

Welcome to my private counseling practice, IntimateBreakthroughs! You have made a courageous decision towards your present and your future; and I am here to support you along your journey. 

My name is Chrishina J. Scott. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the states of Georgia and Arizona; with over 15 years of experience in the field of clinical mental health.

My scope of practice focuses on helping adults who are finding challenges with overcoming specific life changes/adjustments (i.e., break-up/divorce, empty nester, work-related stress, retirement, grief (≤ 1 year), young adults transitioning into independent decision-making, etc.). As a result, the individual may be experiencing stress-related or situational anxiety and/or possibly a bit of a low mood (without the need for crisis intervention, or the inclusion of suicidal thoughts or self-harming behaviors). 

My goal is to help you connect with your true self so that you can establish a life that aligns with your values. Using the Solution-Focused Brief Therapy approach, counseling with me typically consists of 6-9 sessions; which means my clients must be ready to take accountability, implement action and ready to do the work necessary to reaching your goal; and as your counselor, I will be right by your side along the way!

** Please Note: I do not specialize in trauma, ADD, addiction, suicidal thoughts/attempts, self-harming behaviors or crisis services.

My counseling style can be described as coach-like, supportive, solution-focused, engaging and easy-going. When necessary, I provide practical-application assignments to assist you with applying plan into action. With patience and empathy, I believe in meeting you where you are. Together we can build a trusting relationship, allowing you to say whatever it is you need to say without the fear of judgment. We may even find some humor along the way. After all, laughter can be an important component of therapy as well.

I pride myself in successfully helping clients establish thought processes based on their inner values; and with an appropriate level of readiness, clients begin to apply value-based thinking in order to implement value-based decision-making; rewarding themselves with an unapologetic approach to getting their most inner needs met!

At this time, I only offer telehealth sessions via a secure video platform or phone. This allows you to receive the support you need no matter your location within the states of Georgia and Arizona.

Thank you for visiting. Reaching out is a big step! I now encourage you to take the next step and contact me to schedule your 1st session or schedule a free consultation. I look forward to supporting you throughout your IntimateBREAKTHROUGHS!

All the best,

“I am grateful for Chrishina for being my therapist. Her willingness to let me communicate in my way has been a perfect doorway for me to better express myself in different situations. She allows me to grow with each session no matter how small; which leads to my new norm while working the process.”
- T.J.

“Chrishina was such a wonderful person to work with. She has such a warm spirit that speaking with her is like talking to an old friend. Although it was all virtual, she made you feel that she was right there with you during each session. She suggested practical action steps to put into practice to assist with how to deal with my situation. She was also very responsive outside of my scheduled sessions. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist. She will always be in my contact list. Thank you for your professionalism, warmth and infectious smile.” - S.H.

Session COSTS

“I offer 3 options for covering the costs of your counseling sessions!”

1. In-Network: Most people pay $5-$40 per session after meeting their in-network insurance deductible. Contact your insurance provider to confirm your specific costs per session. Be sure to let them know you will be receiving counseling services via Telehealth video.

2. Self-Pay: Chrishina‘s self-pay rate is $150 per session. Accepted forms of payment includes Visa, Discover, Mastercard, AMEX and Health Savings Account. If you’re considering self-pay, Chrishina offers a generous discount for young adults, college students, elderly and fellow mental health professionals. Be sure to ask about criteria for receiving the discounted rate.

3. EAP: Many employers offer free counseling services to their employees through the use of the company’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Check with your employer’s Human Resource department to learn about available EAP benefits. To use your EAP benefits, you’ll need to obtain an EAP Authorization Letter from your employer and email the letter to Chrishina well in advance of the start of your 1st session.

If you are considering using your health insurance, please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions to your insurance provider:

1. Do I have mental health benefits within my health insurance plan?

2. What is my deductible and has it been met?

3. How much will I be expected to pay per session?

4. How many sessions per year does my mental health benefit allow?

5. Is a referral required from my primary care physician?

6. Is a prior authorization required?
