Getting to know Kris Munson
I am Kris Munson, and I have been working in the mental health field for several decades. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Benedictine University. My experience spans inpatient and outpatient settings, community mental health, group homes, and private practice.
I work with a wide variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, women's issues, anger management, low self-esteem, and many other common challenges faced today. I have a laid-back, calming style and focus on building on people's strengths.
On a personal note, I live in the far west suburbs of Chicago with my family. I have four children, either grown or nearly grown, whom we adopted from Guatemala. We have several pets and enjoy taking road trips whenever we can.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I am a big believer in goal setting, so at the end of sessions, we will set manageable goals to work on in between now and the next time we meet. In addition, I will provide individually tailored "homework". I have clients direct the conversation to be sure we discuss what is important to you. If you get stuck or need direction I will help you clarify. In future sessions, I will follow up to see how it is going and we can make adjustments as necessary. I am always open to feedback and welcome suggestions that would make our work more fulfilling.

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.
