The people who most need counseling are often the ones who can least afford it. Our fees are set by household income — you tell us where you are, and we set the rate from there. No pay stubs. No tax returns. No means test to sit through at the worst moment of your year.
Per clinical hour, by annual household income.
| Annual household income | You pay, per hour |
|---|---|
| $100,000 and above | $200 |
| $70,000 – $100,000 | $160 |
| $50,000 – $70,000 | $120 |
| $35,000 – $50,000 | $90 |
| Under $35,000 | $60 |
| Documented crisis — job loss, medical emergency, sudden loss of a household income | $30 – $40 |
The income bands shift upward for each dependent, so a family of five is not measured against the same line as a single person earning the same salary.
We revisit it every 6–12 months, and immediately whenever your circumstances change. If something happens mid-course, tell us — do not quietly drop out of care over money.
The ordinary intake form, the same one everyone completes.
A short question on the form. You state it yourself — we take you at your word, and we do not ask for documentation.
So you know what you are paying before you are sitting in the room, not after.
That is the fee. There is no separate paperwork, no second conversation, and nothing on your invoice that marks you out as a reduced-fee client.
The scale goes down a long way, but it does not reach zero. A minimum fee is part of the work — care you have invested something in is care you tend to show up for, and that is not a small clinical point.
Your tier is a number on a form. It does not change who you see, how long you get, or how you are treated, and nothing on your invoice marks you as a reduced-fee client.
Then it is the first thing to say when you do. Start the intake and put your household income on the form — the number you are worried about is the one that decides your tier, not the one that decides whether you are welcome.
