Sliding scale

We believe financial hardship should never prevent someone from accessing care. Our sliding scale is real, private, and applied without judgment.

2
A private conversation We'll have a brief, non-judgmental discussion about your situation. No forms, no proof required.
3
A fee that works for you We agree on a fee that lets you access consistent, ongoing care without financial strain.

Insurance & Benefits Coverage

Option to access a reduced rate based on your income. We believe that financial hardship should never be a barrier to receiving care. In certain situations, we can apply a preferential rate to your counseling and support sessions. A private, confidential conversation to determine your eligibility for this preferential rate, as well as to explore community resources that could also meet your support needs.
