Pricing & Fees
As a step toward equity, I have chosen to use a tiered payment system (inspired by The Green Bottle Method) to help increase accessibility.
Please choose a tier that best fits your situation and a price within that range that feels sustainable for ongoing therapy. Folks who can pay in the higher tier allow me to offer spots in the lower tier.
Please take your time considering the info below. I do not ask for "proof" of your income and am happy to discuss your concerns, questions, needs, and more related to the fee.
