Pricing & Fees

Background

In the United States, due to myriad reasons, including systemic disenfranchisement, folks have accrued differing levels of resources in their lifetime or over generations. I offer therapy both as a calling and as my livelihood. To support a more equitable exchange while still meeting my material needs, I use a tiered payment system that helps increase accessibility by providing a broader sliding scale; and invites you to consider how your payment can benefit others while still meeting your own material needs.  

The Three Tiers

This model, inspired by The Green Bottle Method, offers a sliding scale based on your financial situation. Please choose a tier that best fits your situation and a price within that range that feels sustainable for ongoing therapy. Examples are given below to help you locate yourself on the scale. Please reach out with any questions.​ 

Insurance/Out-of-Network

I am an out-of-network provider for all insurance companies. I can provide you superbills for possible reimbursement, but I recommend checking with your insurance company about your specific benefits. If you have strong out-of-network benefits, please consider choosing a higher rate than you might otherwise consider. It supports those without reimbursement options.
