Therapy services are provided only after appropriate intake procedures, informed consent, and mutual agreement to establish a therapeutic relationship.

Because I am licensed in Texas, therapy services are available only to clients who are physically located in Texas at the time of each session.

While every effort is made to provide accurate, evidence-informed information, no guarantees are made regarding the completeness, accuracy, or applicability of the information presented. Individual circumstances vary, and you should consult an appropriate healthcare professional regarding your specific situation.

Good Faith Estimate & No Surprises Act

Under the law, health care providers must give patients who don't have certain types of health care coverage, or who are not using their coverage, an estimate of the expected cost of services before those services are provided. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any services, upon request or when scheduling. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. For more information, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059. To request your Good Faith Estimate, contact hello@barnescounselingcollaborative.com or 202-800-4702.
