COUNSELING

Individual Counseling

Through individual and couple counseling sessions, our licensed counselors come alongside adults in the midst of struggles. Witnessing God use brokenness and heartache to move people toward redemption and healing is one of our greatest privileges. 

Group Counseling

Bringing struggles to light through the safety of confidential, counselor-facilitated groups is often an integral step toward transformation. Groups that have been offered include:

  • Healing Hearts - a biblically-based, confidential setting for women to receive support as they wrestle with the difficult realities of childhood harm, and gain hope and healing.

Insurance

The Barnabas Center does not accept insurance. However, we are able to provide statements for clients who wish to self-file with their insurance company. Some clients are able to use their HSA/FSA cards to pay for counseling services. It is up to each client to determine with their insurance company what options are available to them.

Payment

Prompt payment for services is expected. Invoices are generated through our Client Portal at the end of each day. We also accept payment by check - please make checks payable to The Barnabas Center - Richmond and mail to: The Barnabas Center, 7113 Three Chopt Road, Suite 210, Richmond, VA 23226.

As a non-denominational and non-profit 501(c)3 organization, The Barnabas Center employs a funding model that combines counseling fees and donations. Many of our clients and participants qualify for our scholarships for counseling and/or training. These scholarships are funded through the generosity of individuals and churches and allow people to receive help who couldn’t afford it and thus have a greater impact in our community.

Scholarships are available upon request and will be granted, as available, by considering your household’s annual gross income and any extenuating circumstances. Clients may submit a Scholarship Request Form before or after making their first appointment, but full payment will be expected at the time of the first visit, if a scholarship has not been approved. A Reply to a Scholarship Request is generally given within two business days. Questions regarding the scholarship process for Richmond should be directed to our Administrative Office or call 804-741-2333.

I’ve steadily been working on the fears that were controlling my life and have been discovering not just who I am but who God made me to be. I have come to value The Barnabas Center as a safe place to express my innermost thoughts, to feel comfortable being who I am, and to be confident in facing the needs I have been hiding inside

My childhood story’s crippling effects can be seen in the confusing, painful memories of sexual abuse as a child. Not until I sat with a counselor and group of ladies at Healing Hearts did I see the truth and my innocence. The teaching and community of Healing Hearts helped me see myself in a new way. It looks like a girl who is no longer believing lies regarding the abuse. It looks like freedom
…like hope.
