I am committed to making mental health care as accessible as possible. For this reason, a limited number of sliding fee scale appointments are available for clients who demonstrate financial need.
Eligibility for the sliding fee scale is based on household income and other relevant financial factors. Fees are adjusted within a defined range to ensure fairness while allowing the practice to remain sustainable. Documentation or self-reported income information may be requested to determine eligibility.
Sliding scale availability is limited and not guaranteed. Fees are reviewed periodically and may be adjusted if financial circumstances change.
If you believe you may qualify for a reduced fee, please feel free to ask. I am happy to discuss options openly and respectfully to help find a fee arrangement that supports your care.
