Getting to know Kristal Bayer
Hi, I'm Kristal Bayer.
I attended the University of California, Santa Barbara for undergrad, where I majored in Psychology and minored in Education. I went on to complete my Master's degree in Social Work at California State University, Long Beach, in 2011. Additionally, I earned a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from California State University, Long Beach. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over ten years of experience working in California. I have worked with a wide range of clients in my practice, from toddlers to the elderly.
My therapy style is warm and client-oriented. I walk alongside my clients, helping them learn to cope with life stressors and gain insight into harmful coping mechanisms. I assist clients in developing positive problem-solving skills and social interactions to increase self-esteem and self-awareness. My approach is tailored to each client upon initial assessment. I applaud you for coming this far and seeking therapy-a decision that sometimes may not be the easiest. I look forward to meeting you and assisting you on your journey.
What should a new client know about working with you?
After your initial intake, first sessions will be focused on building rapport and further exploring symptoms and triggers with you. I want to assure that you feel that you and I are a good match and you feel confident in moving forward in therapy. Depending on existing symptoms, I will build a treatment plan tailored to your needs and then make sure you're informed in the treatment modality and plan to make sure that it's something you feel comfortable with.
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.
