Getting to know Christy McDonald

Hi, I'm Christy. Do you worry about being judged when choosing a counselor? You are likely here because you feel overwhelmed with life's challenges or relationship problems. You may think that no one understands your feelings or the difficulties you are experiencing. Whatever your current circumstances, I am here for you while you learn the tools to reach your personal goals and help you make positive changes through self-awareness and empowerment. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Counseling and Applied Psychology from Tarleton State University. I have been a licensed counselor for 15 years and a counselor supervisor for 8 years. Most of my clients face various challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, loss, and decreased self-esteem. In addition, many experience relationship problems or co-dependent behaviors stemming from trauma during their childhood or adolescent years. Finally, most of my clients are dealing with changes that may be unfamiliar to them. I want to help you navigate these difficulties.

What should a new client know about working with you?

As your counselor, we will explore your current difficulties and create a plan to improve your mental wellness in a relational and affirming therapeutic environment. Although we will establish counseling goals together, my ultimate goal is to help you discover your authentic self while improving your connections with others.

In-network insurances

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
