“Would definitely recommend. I went in with some reservations due to a prior negative experience, but despite that I felt immediately welcomed. Krysten didn't push and constantly reminded me that we will discuss what we need to at a pace that is comfortable for me. I think that's important and I'm excited to continue learning more about myself and healing along the way. ”

Getting to know Krysten Blackshear
Hi! My name is Dr. Krysten, and I am your favorite Clinical Social Worker. I have been practicing social work in the medical and mental health fields for five years, working with adolescents, young adults, families, and the senior population. I earned my Bachelor's degree from the University of North Texas, my Master of Social Work from Stephen F. Austin State University, and I am currently a Doctoral Candidate in the Doctor of Social Work program at Capella University. My specialties include trauma-informed care, concerns related to culture and diversity, and understanding family systems and their impact on trauma.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I am committed to practicing cultural humility and using Evidence-Based Practices. It is important to me to meet you where you are, educate and empower you to make the best choices for your life, partner with you to problem-solve and walk with you through whatever you are facing. I believe in identifying and developing your strengths to uncover your inherent resiliency that will support your long-term healing and growth in therapy. I truly believe that we don't get to choose our story, but we do get to choose how we use the power that it produces. Brene Brown said it best, “We don’t have to do it alone. We were never meant to," and it is my privilege to serve you on this journey.

Don’t see your insurance?
It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more
Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $125 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $100 for 60 minutes
- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
More information on payments and coverage
If I am in-network with your insurance, you will receive an email from Headway, the site I use for billing, requesting that you create a profile for any potential co-pays and billing purposes. If I am out of network with your insurance and opt for cash pay services, you will receive an email with the cash payment process.
