Sliding Scale

Understanding money and class can be challenging. I hope that by providing transparency around my fee structure, you can make a decision about therapy rooted in clarity and confidence rather than scarcity. I am always happy to discuss our fee and class / access more broadly in sessions.

Therapy is a commitment of both time and money. I encourage you to think of the cost of therapy as an investment in your healing and wellness. The cost of therapy also reflects respect for care work.

I use a managed sliding scale in order to maintain a practice that is sustainable for me while also offering financial flexibility to those who need it. This means that I balance the number of people paying at the highest rate with the number of people paying at the lowest range. I limit the number of sessions I hold each week so that I can dedicate more resources to each person and care for myself.

The sliding scale relies on your self-reflection and honesty to work. This graphic can help you assess where you fall on the sliding scale. Please note that if you request a lower sliding scale spot and really can afford to pay more, you are limiting access to care for those who truly need financial flexibility in order to be in therapy. Being honest about your financial situation enables the growth of more equitable and financially sustainable communities.

As of June 2022, I am only able to accept new therapy clients who can pay at the highest rate. For a list of therapists who offer a lower sliding scale ($30-$60), please visit Open Path Collective.

This sliding scale framework is adapted from the work of Alexis J Cunningfolk.
