Yes. We recognize that access to mental health care is shaped by systemic inequities, lived experiences, and changing life circumstances. This sliding scale is intended to support access, while honoring each client’s autonomy, dignity, and privacy.
We offer a sliding scale to reduce financial barriers and acknowledge the impact of systemic inequities on access to mental health care. Clients are invited to choose the fee tier that best reflects their current financial capacity. No proof of income is required, and all information is treated with respect and confidentiality.
Choosing a lower-fee tier does not affect the quality, consistency, or commitment of care you receive.
