EMDR Intensive Programs
Christina is now offering EMDR Intensives at Freedom Work. Intensives are multi-hour appointments designed to accelerate your healing through a concentrated more efficient process. They are an alternative to traditional weekly or bi-weekly sessions.
EMDR intensives may be beneficial for clients who have experienced a recent trauma or for clients who are ready and motivated to address trauma that has been lingering for years. Intensives may also benefit clients who need adjunct support to resolve specific trauma while continuing to work with their current traditional therapist. For current Freedom Work clients, multi-hour EMDR processing sessions with your therapist may be available to accelerate the healing process. Intensives are $150/hr.
Intensives are only offered on available Thursdays and Fridays between 8am-5pm. Contact us at admin@freedomworkcc.com to determine if an EMDR Intensive is right for you.

No Surprises Act
Right to Receive a Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your mental healthcare will cost. Under the law, healthcare providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
- You have the right to receive a Good Faith estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescriptions drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
- Make sure your healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical services or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
- If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or a picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
