Ongoing Clients
Kristin F Jones, LMFT offers weekly, bi-weekly, drop ins, and once a month sessions for on-going clients.
I am trained as a queer affirmative post modern therapist and work with low to moderate acuity clients (little T trauma), meaning those with manageable symptoms that do not pose an immediate danger or crisis. This private practice is for people who are seeking mental health support but are capable to continue their daily routine with scheduled regular appointments.
-
Former Clients and Inactive Clients
General Policy Definitions-
A former client has formally terminated, or has not reached out in two years or more and given no prior specifics to return.
An inactive client has not met in over six months or more with no prior specifics of when to return.
In each case the client file is removed from the system.
Former Client Return Policy -
New start forms and a full MSE assessment will be necessary, as you are technically a new client. At least four consecutive sessions are required to return to 'as needed' status, as this enables me to get a comprehensive understanding of your mental health status and needs (given the unrest/actual climate dangers in this country at this time).
*Crisis intervention (Big T trauma) will be diligently referred out to psychiatrists (MD) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNP) or trauma specialists. For recommendations to IOP and PHP programs, contact your psychiatrist or nurse practitioner.
Unfortunately, I do not provide letters of any kind for former or inactive clients.
Please contact me here to discuss any questions.

I don't need to know your reason for rescheduling or canceling
Payment is due at time of service
Payments can be made with credit or debit cards. American Express is accepted.
No third party payment arrangements will be agreed to, or accepted.
You pay for session time only.
Transaction fees for card usage are covered by Kristin F Jones, LMFT and not passed on to you.
As a result for couples, I do not split the session fee between two cards, as I would be paying upwards of $20 in fees.

Pro Bono Sessions
A hand up, not a hand out－
I provide two gratuitous spaces in my practice year round, three months at a time, depending on need and availability for individuals located in Los Angeles.
This therapy is considered Brief Therapy and recipients should come with specific goals in mind. Sessions are every other week for a total of six over three months. Clients who begin later than the January, April, July, October 1st start dates will have access to the 'remaining sessions,' meaning what's left in the three month window.

Patients have a right to receive a GFE for non-emergency healthcare services. Patients may ask the provider for a GFE before scheduled service. If a patient receives a bill that is at least $400 more than the GFE, they can dispute this.
