| “Yet it was our weaknesses HE carried; it was our sorrows that weighed HIM down. And we thought HIS troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for HIS own sins! But HE was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. HE was beaten so we could be whole. HE was whipped so we could be healed.” Isaiah 53: 4&5 |
Christina’s Bio: Christina has spent the past 30 years serving as a professional educator, with three degrees in education and a passion for serving special-needs children and their parents. In addition, she has worked side-by-side with her husband, Dr. Craig Green, as a pastoral counselor—which is the area of specialization in her latest degree—a Masters in pastoral counseling. Christina has served as the Special Education Supervisor for the Overton County School System for the past five years. She will always be an advocate for those who can defend themselves the least.

The Mission: My child, pay attention to what I say, listen carefully to my words. Don’t lose sight of them. Let them penetrate deep into your heart, for they bring life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body (Proverbs 4:20-22) God’s Word, as it penetrates us through the power of His Spirit, brings life and healing to our body, soul and spirit. True pastoral counseling is not a method or a system; rather, it is a trust in and reliance upon the Lord, as He breaks the power of lies, heals wounds, and releases true freedom. Christina’s mission is to be an instrument of God’s healing as she listens, prays, and shares the Word in the power of the Spirit. Therefore, healing comes from and by Jesus, not through counseling or the counselor —so it is neither fleeting nor conditional. Truly, Jesus saves! “O Lord, if you heal me, I will be truly healed; if you save me, I will be truly saved. My praises are for you alone!” Jeremiah 17: 14
Expectations: Every patient will leave each session differently than when they arrived. Every patient will have a safe place in their session. Your therapist will not judge or criticize your feelings. She will challenge you to think and encourage you to strive for a healthier version of yourself. You may have homework. Sometimes it may be like listening to a song, reading a book, or watching a movie. Other times it may be like journaling about the session or a question posed by your therapist. On occasion, you may be asked to complete different questionnaires either before the session or following the session in preparation for the next session. “Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you.” Psalm 51:12 |

Important information

Allergen immunotherapy (also known as “allergy shots”) is the repeated administration of specific allergens to the patient with allergy-related conditions (such as Allergic Rhinitis, hay fever and asthma) for the purpose of providing protection against their allergic symptoms and inflammatory reactions with exposure to these allergens.
Conditions for which allergy shots have been shown to be effective:
Allergic Rhinitis-also known for hay fever, patients with this condition often suffer severe nasal (and possible eye and throat) reactions when exposed to pollens or other air borne allergens to which they are sensitive.
Asthma-well-designed clinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of allergen immunotherapy in patients with pollen-induced and mold-induced asthma.
We test for 58 most common allergens in this region, trees, weeds, grasses, molds, cats and dogs. Patients can not be allergy tested without being seen by a provider first. Testing takes approximately 1-1½ hours. Testing is performed on both arms, so patients will need to wear short sleeves. All patients must be off all antihistamines (Zrytec, Claritin, Allegra, Zantac, and Tagamet) 7-10 days prior to testing. Patients taking beta-blockers can not be allergy tested or take allergy injections. However, they may speak with their PCP about taking a different type of medication in the place of a beta-blocker.
There are two types of immunotherapy: traditional and cluster therapy.
Traditional Therapy: patients will come into the office one to two times a week (MUST skip a day between injections) and receive their injections. The build up to maintenance dose using this method takes an estimated time of 8 to 15 months depending on the frequency the patient gets their injections. The earliest relief from immunotherapy is usually not felt until the patient starts getting into their higher level doses. This type of immunotherapy is covered in varying degrees with almost all insurances.
Cluster Therapy: it is required that patients be able to dedicate approximately 4 hours once a week in the clinic every 5-10 days for three to five sessions. On these days patients will receive multiple injections (spaced 30 minutes apart), and be required to wait in the clinic for at least 2 hours after their last injection. This will take the patient to the beginning of their strongest vial. At that point the patient can get their injections once or twice a week until they reach maintenance dose. This method can put the patient at maintenance dose in 8-10 weeks. It is covered by most health insurance companies. It is required that the patient take an antihistamine at least 2 hours before each session. This form of therapy has proven to be as safe as the traditional build-up.
ALL allergy patients receiving injections are required to carry an Epipen with them at all times, patients will be given a prescription for this at their first injection appointment. Any patient that refuses the Epipen will be required to sign a waiver form.
Patients with insurance:
Most insurance will cover all testing and injections. Patients filing insurance will need to keep in mind of their deductibles and co-pays. Patients can call their insurance and ask about allergy testing coverage.
Patients without insurance:
Allergy testing $150.00
Allergy Extract (the medication) $350.00 for build up vials -- $350.00 for maintenance vials
Injections $14.00 per visit
Epipen Prices vary and will be discussed during initial visit.
Please note that this is ONLY estimated prices.
The build up vials and maintenance vials are paid at separate times.
