Sliding Scale

  • Therapy should be accessible

    I genuinely believe that therapy should be made accessible to folks across socioeconomic statuses.

    Out of my intentions in building a therapeutic relationship rooted in respect, authenticity, and trust. I will not ask for verification of income, savings, debts or other information to ‘prove eligibility’ for sliding-scale fee requests.

    I have provided here some considerations for requesting a sliding scale fee.

    I would be happy to discuss your therapy needs and any concerns regarding financial barriers during our initial consultation. We can work together to find a fee that is sustainable for you.

  • Fees under $100/Session

    I typically reserve sliding scale options of fees under $100 per session to those who may:

    Have limited or no access to generational wealth

    Have limited savings or significant debt that creates stress toward managing daily living expenses

    Supporting dependents

    Do not have health insurance or is unable to access services via health insurance

    Receive public assistance(I.e. CalFresh, Medi-cal etc.)

  • Fees above $100/session

    This category is for folks who may be able to maintain standards of daily living, but have limited expendable income. Please consider this fee if you are able to:

    Save into a retirement account, have access to property, or is receiving inheritances

    Have no dependents

    Gain access to private insurance

    Work part-time by choice

    Have stable income

STANDARD NOTICE

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
