$175 / 50 minute individual session​
​
I currently have sliding scale spots available for those who cannot afford my full fee.
The scale ranges from $120 - $170 / 50 minute session.
​
To help determine where you fall on the sliding scale, I am borrowing the work of Alexis J. Cunningfolk
(For more context, the link to the full blog post is here)
​
Top of the Scale:
-
I am comfortably able to meet all of my basic* needs
-
I may have some debt but it does not prohibit attainment of basic needs
-
I own my home or property OR I rent a higher-end property
-
I own or lease a car
-
I am employed or do not need to work to meet my needs
-
I have regular access to health care
-
I have access to financial savings
-
I have an expendable** income
-
I can always buy new items
-
I can afford an annual vacation or take time off
​
Middle of the Scale:
-
I may stress about meeting my basic needs but still regularly achieve them
-
I may have some debt but it does not prohibit attainment of basic needs
-

​

-
I have no access to savings
-
I have no or very limited expendable income
-
I rarely buy new items because I am unable to afford them
-

* Basic Needs include food, housing, health care, and transportation.
** Expendable Income might mean you are able to buy coffee or tea at a shop, go to the movies or a concert, buy new clothes, books, and similar items each month, etc.

If the lowest price on this scale is still out of reach for you, here are some other resources I recommend:
​
​
Open Path Psychotherapy Collective
​
Grateful Heart Holistic Therapy Center
​
​
Scheduling
​
I see clients from 10 AM to 6 PM PDT, Monday - Friday. All sessions are conducted via encrypted video, with clients anywhere in California or Michigan. I'll let you know about open slots during our initial consultation to ensure our schedules align.
​
I strongly recommend all clients begin with weekly sessions for fastest results, with the option to reduce to every other week if and when this feels appropriate.
​
Cancellation Policy
​
A minimum of 24 hours notice is required to reschedule or cancel an appointment. If for any reason a session is canceled less than 24 hours prior, the full fee will be charged.
​
Insurance
​
I am not a member of any insurance panels; however, I can send a monthly superbill as an out of network provider. If you are interested in going this route, we can discuss during your initial consultation.
​
Payment is due at time of service regardless of insurance reimbursement.
