If the cost is not feasible for you, please let me know and we can discuss *sliding scale rate options.
*How are sliding scale rates determined? Sliding scale rates are determined through a conversation. I do not base sliding scale on income, as I understand many people have financial responsibilities not accurately reflected by their income. I also believe you are the expert on what amount you are willing to sacrifice for therapy vs. not attending therapy because it's a financial hardship. If you, like me, see therapy as an investment in yourself, only you can determine how much you can afford to invest, and how highly you value my services (built on years of education and training).
Another low cost sliding scale option is through the Open Path website (link at the bottom of this page).

Right to a Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.

Miscellaneous Fees

Legal Proceedings: $1,500.00 for one-half (1/2) day, to be paid 5 days in advance for court appearance or deposition, and $350.00 per hour for travel, correspondence, and prep time. Clients are responsible for payment, as insurance does not cover these fees. Please see informed consent, which outlines the possibility for termination of therapy, if clients choose to include me in legal proceedings, since this would be considered a dual relationship.
