My name is Sebryna Hunt, or Bre for short.  I have an extensive background in healthcare, starting as a nurse aide when I was 14.  I attended Northwest Kansas Technical College as a Medical Executive Assistant with a minor in accounting and have worked in various medical offices since then: dialysis, hospital case management, medical records, but mainly in skilled nursing communities. 

I enjoy the office side of health care for two reasons: I like paperwork and medical records, from creating, keeping in order, & researching, plus it allows me to engage with people on a different level and always with a smile.  As the Administrative Assistant, I am here to support you with insurance, portal navigation, scheduling or rescheduling, password resets, billing & payments and any questions you may have.

I use a variety of therapeutic techniques to include cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, solution-focused, psychoeducational, trauma-informed, mindfulness, as well as others. I promote growth by offering a safe, accepting atmosphere so that you feel heard, validated, and empowered. The therapeutic relationship is a collaborative journey where we develop goals to support your individual needs and move towards practical and noticeable change. Therapy can develop your capacity to be more self-aware, challenge negative thoughts and build towards a more safe and healthy life.
