So very important to know your therapist, who they practice & bill under.

Know your Therapist, how you access them & how they bill. Large corporate practice management companies market easy access to a therapist. But there are serious growing concerns.

Headway is owned by Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, and Google.
Alma is owned by Cigna & Optum - Soon to be owned by Spring Health.
Grow is owned by Cigna & Optum.
Rula is owned by Amazon.
TalkSpace is owned by Alan Miller, backed by major shareholders such as Vanguard group, Fisrt Eagle Investment Management, BlackRock & Stare Street.

"These companies are typically funded by venture capital and private equity investors, whose primary aim is to generate a return on investment as quickly as possible. "

"81% {of therapists using these platforms} do not believe that practice management companies adequately protect client information."

"Oregon and Pennsylvania have taken legislative action to limit the presence of private equity investors in healthcare, so that the clinician-patient relationship and quality of care are protected."

"Headway is currently being sued for disclosing patient information to Google."

"The insurers have manufactured this therapist shortage, which is advantageous to them; the fewer therapists that insurers have to deal with and the fewer therapy sessions they have to pay for, the more profitable they will be."

Hello! My name is Kristina Brummund. I am a graduate of Minnesota State University, Mankato, and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW). I have been working with children, teens, adults, couples, and families since 2004 across a variety of settings including addiction centers, community agencies, and schools & mental health organizations. I also hold a Master of Science in Community Health, and a Bachelor of Science in Alcohol and Drug Counseling.

I believe the best therapeutic relationship exists when I can create an environment in which you feel heard, validated, empowered, accepted unconditionally and without judgement. My goal is to make sure you trust me to guide and support you along this journey with transparent, open communication. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as my primary modality of therapy; however, I also believe when our mental health suffers not only does our mind struggle but so does our body and soul, thus a whole-person approach is necessary. I integrate mindfulness, meditation, and relaxation as a way to calm our nervous system and re-center ourselves. You have a story and have unique life experience. I am privileged to be able to hold your experiences with you. Let’s work together to make the rest of your life story poetic.
