Faith-Based Counselors - Providing Hope
NEW LEAF COUNSELING
Kristyn Georges, MA, PLPC, EMDR Trained, Cert. Level 1 Practitioner of Coherence Therapy
Navigating through life can be disorienting at times, even for the strongest individuals. Like a wilderness guide, I can support and equip you through the terrain in which you’re feeling stuck or fatigued. From enduring life’s valleys and hilltops alike and continuous professional training, I am qualified to counsel effectively with integrity, insight, and empathy. I received extensive education and training in clinical mental health counseling from MidAmerica Nazarene University and earned a Master of Arts in biblical counseling from Calvary University. Since then, I have pursued specialization in Coherence Therapy, which uses a scientifically established process that addresses the emotional roots of unwanted symptoms, effectively upending them, unlike any other approach.
I conduct individual counseling with adult men and women ages 18 and up. My primary focus has been on working with young professionals and college students, women, and athletes moving through anxiety, grief, insomnia, injury or illness, perfectionism, trauma, and the reappraisal of one’s relationships and interpersonal patterns.
To help clients achieve transformative change, I seek to provide efficient and comprehensive psychotherapy, and I prioritize therapies that follow the brain’s natural blueprint for healing within a biblical worldview. To accomplish this, I integrate experiential therapies such as Coherence Therapy and EMDR—effective at resolving unwanted symptoms at their roots—along with biblical counseling and elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy, somatic psychology, parts work, and practical psychoeducation to empower you to cope as you truly heal.
Whether you feel hindered by present circumstances or wounds that won’t stay in your past, I can help you parse through and reprocess these complexities so that you can establish the life you long for. Wherever you are, we will explore and develop together a unique “map” that will guide you towards wholeness and abundance in Christ.

FAQs
Where is your office for counseling sessions?
Primarily, I provide in-person counseling at our Country Club Plaza location. I can also conduct online sessions via a HIPAA-compliant platform for residents of Missouri.
How often do we meet for therapy sessions?
Initially, I recommend meeting weekly to increase clients’ likelihood of experiencing the most immediate and enduring positive changes (see article), then a reduction in frequency based on clients’ readiness and progress.
How much do you charge?
The fee for a 50-minute individual therapy session is $120. Should a session extend beyond the allocated 50 minutes, the time will be subject to a pro-rated charge of $12 for each additional 5 minutes to uphold session structure and equity.
Do you take insurance?
No, but I provide a receipt for services which you may submit to your insurance provider for possible reimbursement toward your out-of-network deductible. Some people prefer to pay without insurance involvement as this provides the most privacy to you as the client and the most autonomy over the focus, frequency, and duration of care.
