What Is Sliding Scale Therapy?
Sliding scale therapy is a flexible pricing approach that adjusts session fees based on a client's financial situation. This model allows individuals who may not have insurance coverage or who are experiencing financial challenges to still receive professional mental health counselling. By offering sliding scale therapy, we aim to make mental health services more inclusive and accessible to the community.
Our therapists can support individuals facing a range of challenges, including:
• Depression or low mood
• Life transitions
• Relationship concerns
• Personal growth and emotional well-being
• Burnout and work-related stress
Seeking therapy can feel like a big step. Whether you are starting therapy for the first time or continuing your personal growth journey, our therapists are here to support you with empathy, professionalism, and care.
