An introductory appointment helps us better understand you, your history and what brings you in. The appointment gives us a better understanding of which therapist or coach would be best suited to help you.

A full 24 hours is required for cancellations in order to avoid being charged for the scheduled time.
Monday appointments must be cancelled the Friday before and, thus, a 72-hour notice requirement will apply. Missed or late cancelled appointments are charged at the rate of a normal office visit.
We do realize that at times a “no-show” or cancellation with less than 24 hour notice will be necessary. However, for the reasons below, we unfortunately do not allow exceptions to this policy:
compensation for our time is how we provide for our families;
forcing your counselor into a parental or authority position, having to decide the merits of a particular situation, can affect your therapeutic relationship and impact our ability to work together as equals on the road to self improvement;
with enough advanced notice we can often fill your reserved time, but without it we cannot;
learning to live within boundaries and the emotions that come with those boundaries are a very important part of the therapy process.
-
The therapists’ and life coaches’ fees range from $125-160 per visit. This number is based on education, credentials, and experience. As we believe in full transparency, you can easily find out what each therapist fees are by calling the Center.
Please note that these fees change from time to time due to a change in the therapists credentials. Some of the therapists are under supervision while they earn hours which apply toward licensure.
-
You can pay our staff with a credit card, cash or check payable to at Barnhill & Associates Counseling Center.
-
Our therapists are out of network providers for insurance. In an effort to help with the process, we will provide you with documentation to submit to your insurance company for out of network benefits.
However, please contact your insurance company to determine the scope of your out of network benefits. This is the client’s responsibility and not a service our staff is able to provide for you.
Some clients choose to use Flexible Savings Plans or Health Savings Plans for our services. As mentioned in the How do I pay FAQ, cash, check and all major credit cards accepted for payment (Discover, Mastercard, Visa).
-
It will take you approximately 15 minutes to complete the necessary paperwork. This may be done before you come or at the office. Your new client forms will be emailed to you when you schedule an appointment or you can download them online next to your therapist profile.
If you are an adult couple, one form per person needs to be filled out. If the counseling is for a child, then we need paperwork specified for the child. If you are not the biological parent of the child, or in the case of divorce, we need the documentation that shows you have the legal right to decide on psychological care for the child.
In some cases additional paperwork is needed. Our administrative or clinical staff will make you aware of this when you make the appointment or during your first appointment.

By state laws, we are bound to confidentiality.
Each counselor’s informed consent gives the details of the confidentiality. Basically, what is discussed in your counselor’s office, as well as the fact that you are a counseling client, is kept confidential. If your therapist believes you to be a danger to yourself or others, then steps to protect you or others will be taken.
