Our team will review your policy and let you know of your estimated costs before your first session. Fees for in-network clients may not match the sliding-scale above.

Sliding Scale
We do not ask for proof of income when selecting your fee level. We ask that you pay at the highest rate you can afford and feels right to you; doing so allows us to provide psychotherapy to a diverse array of folks and continue to provide sustainable psychotherapy to the community at large. The fee is due at time of treatment and is payable by credit or debit card.
We can only support a limited number of appointment slots for each price point. In order to maintain our sustainability and hold each of us accountable we do ask that if you are able to afford a higher fee level, please pay at that rate, as it allows the folks who need help and need a lower fee to see someone in a timely manner. Remember, seeking treatment is an investment in yourself.
