How does Kristin being Christian impact the counseling I receive?

A 45 minute Couples Therapy Session is $220

GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers including therapists need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
- You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
- Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
- If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
- Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059

Dr. Kristin Barnhart
I am passionate about creating an environment where hope can take root and thrive. Our work together will be collaborative and we will explore questions that cause you to deeply consider a brighter future.
I consider it a privilege to witness couples as they embrace hope & see their families impacted by the transformation.
My personal faith in Jesus is at the center of who I am. It is personal. Faith does not need to be a part of our work together unless you want it to be.
People describe me as warm, wise and encouraging. I love an authentic conversation!
I know it takes courage to make the first contact. I believe in you!
