Rates and Considerations

I am committed to making my services as accessible as possible. Given that wealth remains unevenly held and that insurance coverage is often insufficient for both clients and practitioners, I utilize a sliding scale for individual therapy.

Sliding Scale Tool

  • Take a look at the descriptions for each tier and see which sounds like the most accurate description of your finances. If you’re between 2 tiers, try adding up the responses that fit for each and comparing those numbers.

    A frequent challenge with sliding scales is that individuals with family wealth but short-term personal scarcity may choose a lower tier than those who currently have more income but lack financial cushion.

    As you use the tool below to see where you fall, I encourage you to thoughtfully consider your resources (both present and accumulated).

    The descriptions below are not meant to exactly match anyone’s reality, but to suggest a general sense of access to resources. Please choose which tier most closely aligns with your situation.

    • I frequently stress about meeting basic needs and don’t always meet them

    • I must work more than full time or accrue debt to make ends meet

    • I qualify for government assistance

    • I rent lower end properties or live with family

    • I did not or am unlikely to receive any type of inheritance

    • I cannot afford to take time off without financial burden

    • I have no real access to savings

    • I have little to none expendable income

    • My family of origin are renting or paying off a home, working after retirement age, or unable to meet their basic needs  

    • My intersectional identities negatively impact my income

    • I may stress about meeting my basic needs, but I still regularly meet them with some budgeting

    • I have some debt but it does not prohibit me in my day-to-day

    • I cover my expenses primarily through my employment

    • I am paying off a mortgage, rent higher-end properties or rent and have a guest room/office/multiple rooms to myself

    • My family of origin has assets such as a home that is paid off, retirement savings.

    • I have inherited or am likely to inherit some money, but less than $100,000

    • I can afford to take an annual vacation

    • I have some expendable  income

    • I meet my basic needs comfortably

    • I am physically and mentally able to work a full-time job

    • I am employed or do not need to work full-time to meet my needs

    • I own my own home and possibly multiple properties

    • My family of origin has assets such as investments, multiple properties.

    • I have inherited or am likely to inherit greater than $100,000

    • I have no debt

    • I have expendable income and can always buy new items

    • I travel internationally recreationally 

    • My intersectional identities positively impact my income or have no impact at all

If you have the opportunity to pay it forward, you will give the opportunity for more Tier 1 clients to access identity-affirming mental health care.

I currently have a waitlist for new Tier 1 spots. Please contact me to be placed on the waitlist.

  • Currently I do not accept insurance. I would be considered a private pay, out-of-pocket, or out-of-network practitioner

    Your insurance may be able to reimburse you for some of the service cost if it permits you seeing out of network providers. If you are interested in doing this, please contact your insurance provider before our consult meeting or first session to see if this benefit is available to you. If it is, I can give you a “superbill” to submit to your insurance for reimbursement, but you will still be responsible for payment at the time of service.

  • Most insurance companies set limitations on who therapists can see, for how long, and in what format. This means that if your presenting concerns or treatment preferences don’t fit their boxes, your care may suffer. Private pay allows you to be fully in control of what your treatment looks and feels like. No limitations on session time, frequency, or format. Though I have some of these things outlined on the website, you are the expert of your needs and I am always happy to make adjustments so that your care is yours.

    Transparently, the main reason I do not accept insurance is because of the inequitable ways therapists are paid through the insurance system. Clinical training and experience does not always translate to reimbursement rates and sometimes therapists are paid and then asked for the money back at a later date. Given the nature of my disability, I have very limited hours in which I am able to work. In order to live in a capitalistic system, I must make decisions that prioritize my mental and physical health. I would be more than happy to discuss this further whether we work together or not.

  • I am committed to providing services that are sustainable for both me and my clients. This is why I use a sliding scale system and reserve limited Tier 1 slots for clients to pay at lower rates. I am always open to chatting and seeing if we can find a way to make services accessible to you.

    I also encourage folks who are able to pay-it-forward to do so. The more clients that are able to pay Tier 3 rates, the more clients I can see at Tier 1 rates. Healing takes place in community and we can all do our part to facilitate that healing.
