Kristinbarnhart.com may use the following types of cookies and similar technologies.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies help the website function.

These may support page loading, security, form functionality, cookie-consent records, and privacy choices.

Essential cookies are generally not optional because the website needs them to work.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website.

They may collect general information such as:

We use this information to understand website performance, improve content, and make the website easier to use.

Website analytics are not used to make clinical decisions, determine whether someone may receive therapy, or provide individualized mental health care.

Embedded Content Cookies

Kristinbarnhart.com may include embedded content or links connected to third-party services, such as Google Reviews or social media content.

If you interact with embedded content, the third-party provider may collect information according to its own privacy policy.

 

For example, if you are logged into a social media account and interact with embedded social media content, that platform may be able to connect your interaction with your account.

Do Not Sell Data

Kristinbarnhart.com may include a Do Not Sell Data link.

Breakthrough Counseling does not sell personal information for money.

The Do Not Sell Data link is provided to support privacy choices that may be available under certain state laws or through Wix and Usercentrics privacy tools.

The presence of this link does not mean that Breakthrough Counseling currently sells personal information.

Some privacy laws define “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising more broadly than an ordinary sale for money.

Universal Opt-Out Signals

Some states allow consumers to use browser-based privacy signals, such as Global Privacy Control, to communicate opt-out choices for targeted advertising or the sale of personal data.

If Kristinbarnhart.com is required to recognize a universal opt-out signal under applicable law, Breakthrough Counseling will follow applicable legal requirements.

You may also use the website’s Usercentrics cookie banner or Do Not Sell Data link to manage available choices.

Third-Party Websites and Embedded Content

Some cookies and similar technologies may be controlled by third-party providers.

For example, Wix, Usercentrics, Mailchimp, Google Voice, Google Reviews, social media platforms, or embedded content providers may process information according to their own terms and privacy policies.

Breakthrough Counseling does not control every cookie, tracking technology, or privacy practice used by third-party websites or platforms.

If you select a third-party link, interact with embedded content, or leave kristinbarnhart.com, you should review that provider’s privacy policy and cookie settings.

Therapy Privacy Reminder

Kristinbarnhart.com is a public-facing professional website.

This website and its cookie tools are not a client portal and are not intended for clinical communication.

Therapy services, clinical communication, and therapy privacy practices are handled separately through Breakthrough Counseling’s clinical systems, Notice of Privacy Practices, and clinical policies.

Please do not use this website to send detailed health information, treatment records, insurance information, legal documents, court-related information, crisis concerns, or urgent messages.

Start With a Simple Conversation

You don’t need to know exactly what to say.

Share a few details below, and Dr. Barnhart will follow up with you.

Please don’t include sensitive health, treatment, or emergency information in this form. This form isn’t a secure or HIPAA-protected way to communicate. If you’re experiencing an emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. In the United States, you may also call or text 988. Completing the form doesn’t establish a psychologist-patient relationship.

​If you submit information about another person, please provide only the information reasonably necessary for the referral and confirm that you are authorized to share it. Don’t submit detailed health records or highly sensitive clinical information through the public contact form.

Breakthrough Counseling does not sell personal information for money. Wix provides a “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” privacy-control option to support choices that may be available under certain state laws. The presence of this option does not mean that Breakthrough Counseling sells personal information.
