Hi, I’m Christina!
A Little About Me
Currently Accepting Clients
Christina Gibson is a Pre-Licensed Counselor under the supervision of Shanell Bradley, LPC, CSC.
Intimacy can be taboo and scary to delve into especially if we do not have a safe space to do so. As a pre- licensed LGBTQIA+ friendly, BDSM/Kink Affirming counselor.
I want to help free others of sexual shame, understand and embrace their differences, and learn to healthily navigate their relationship with others in a digital world.
I have experience working with teenagers and young adults concerns including career and college counseling, managing social media anxieties and triggers, and managing behavioral concerts and oppositional defiance disorder.
Email me today and let’s begin your amazing journey of healing and self-discovery! Read more about how we can work together here!

If you don’t have health insurance or you plan to pay for health care bills yourself, generally, health
care providers and facilities must give you an estimate of expected charges when you schedule an
appointment for a health care item or service, or if you ask for an estimate. This is called a “good faith
estimate.”
A good faith estimate isn’t a bill
The good faith estimate shows the list of expected charges for items or services from your provider or
facility. Because the good faith estimate is based on information known at the time your provider or
facility creates the estimate, it won’t include any unknown or unexpected costs that may be added during your treatment. Generally, the good faith estimate must include expected charges for:
• The primary item or service
• Any other items or services you’re reasonably expected to get as part of the primary item or service
for that period of care.
The estimate might not include every item or service you get from another provider or facility, even if
some items or services may seem connected to the same service. For example, if you’re getting surgery,
the good faith estimate could include the cost of the surgery, anesthesia, any lab services, or tests.
In some cases, items or services related to the surgery that are scheduled separately, like certain pre-surgery appointments or physical therapy in the weeks after the surgery, might not be included in the good faith estimate. You’ll get a separate good faith estimate when you schedule those items or services with the provider or facility, or if you ask for it.
Your right to a good faith estimate
Providers and facilities must give you the good faith estimate:
• After you schedule a health care item or service. If you schedule an item or service at least 3
business days before the date you’ll get the item or service, the provider must give you a good faith
estimate no later than 1 business day after scheduling. If you schedule the item or service OR ask
for cost information about it at least 10 business days before the date you get the item or service,
the provider or facility must give you a good faith estimate no later than 3 business days after you
schedule or ask for the estimate.
• That includes a list of each item or service (with the provider or facility), and specific details, like
the health care service code.
• In a way that’s accessible to you, like in large print, Braille, audio files, or other forms of
communication.
Providers and facilities must also explain the good faith estimate to you over the phone or in person
if you ask, then follow up with a written (paper or electronic) estimate, per your preferred form of
communication.Keep the estimate in a safe place so you can compare it to any bills you get later. After you get a bill
for the items or services, if the billed amount is $400 or more above the good faith estimate, you may be eligible to dispute the bill.
For more information, review an example of what a good faith estimate may include (PDF) and examples of good faith estimates that do and don’t qualify for the dispute process (PDF).
