At the end of our consult call I’ll tell you, “If you choose to move forward, send me an email to let me know and include the fee you’d like to pay.” My sliding scales for the services I offer are $60-$160 for individual sessions and $75-$185 for relational (couples, families, etc.) sessions. The middle of both of those scales ($110 for individual, $130 for relational) is an amount that makes this work sustainable for me. Choose that rate if you’re not sure what to pay and you can afford it. If you can afford to pay more, that allows me to offer more slots at lower rates, making therapy accessible for more people. If you can’t afford even my lowest rate, please don’t let that stop you from reaching out. I set aside a limited number of pay-what-you-can slots.
