Getting to know Barbara Good-Smith

Hello friend: My name is Barbara Good-Smith, and I am an LPC and LCDC located here in Texas. I hold a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Amberton University. I believe everybody has the right to be happy, whatever that means for them. When we are in session, it is Your time. I come from a non-judgmental, person-centered approach. I have no preset objective other than to listen and encourage you in whatever way is needed. I do not believe that someone's past determines their destiny or that they are defined by a single event(s). It's never too late to discover a state of peace and become the best version of yourself.

What should a new client know about working with you?

In our first session, I would like to get to know more about you.What do you enjoy doing. What's brining you into the office today. There is no rush to divulge all your deepest darkest secrets. I like to let the relationship develop organically. The main thing I want for my client is to leave feeling better than when they came in. I want to help them find hope. Together we can work on defining goals and come up with a plan to accomplish those goals. Sometimes you may just need someone to listen, and I can be available for that too.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
