The Mishnah on Medical Treatment by Non-Jews
One may obtain treatment for payment from them [non-Jewish physicians] but not mental[-health] treatment. One may not obtain a haircut from them [non-Jewish barbers]1 at any location—the words of R. Meir. But the sages say: It is permitted in the public domain, but not one on one.
