A note on Transparency

To be completely transparent, setting my clinical fees has been one of my greatest professional struggles. In the Mental Health industry, there is a pervasive and unfortunate assumption that a lower fee equates to a lower level of clinical skill.

Early in my practice, I deliberately kept my rates very low because I hold a deep, unwavering belief that mental health support must be accessible. However, I quickly ran into a frustrating reality: some people assumed that because I was affordable, I must not be highly skilled. I found myself in a strange paradox, watching the very students and newer clinicians I supervise enter the field and immediately begin charging $170 to $180 a session, while I worried about pricing people out of care.

I had to reconcile my years of clinical experience, my role as a supervisor, and my extensive years of training with my core values around accessibility. I ultimately realized that I do not need to participate in the industry standard of inflating prices just to prove my worth. Instead, I have chosen a fee structure that reflects a high standard of professional care while remaining grounded in community affordability.

Standard Clinical Rates Individual Therapy (50 minutes): $150 (Extended sessions are available and pro-rated in 15-minute increments) Couples & Family Therapy (90 minutes): $250 Generous Sliding Scale I firmly believe that financial constraints should never keep you from doing this vital work. I reserve a very large sliding scale specifically for clients who are paying out-of-pocket, or who have little to no extended health benefits. If the standard fee is a barrier for you, please do not let that stop you from reaching out. Let’s discuss the rate during our consultation and find a number that works for your life.
