Your Financial Situation Matters: Our Commitment to Accessibility
Life has a funny way of throwing curveballs, doesn’t it? One minute you’re managing, and the next, finances become another hurdle on top of everything else. I get it. That’s why I’ve made it my mission to ensure therapy stays within reach for everyone who needs it. Whether you’re facing job uncertainty, medical bills, or just feeling the squeeze of life’s financial ups and downs, I’m here to offer support.
My sliding scale fee structure is designed to ease that burden. With session fees ranging from $50 to $100, I’ll work with you to find a rate that fits your situation. No one should have to choose between their mental health and their budget, and this flexible pricing ensures you don’t have to.
- Because life is unpredictable: Job transitions, sudden expenses, or family responsibilities can make focusing on mental health feel impossible. I understand.
- It’s about more than just income: Even with a steady paycheck, things like student loans, medical costs, or supporting loved ones can affect what’s truly available to spend. I’ve seen it time and again with my clients, and I’m here to help you navigate those realities.
- Everyone deserves support: No matter where you’re at in life—whether you’re in South St. Louis or Kirkwood—mental health care should never be out of reach. I’m committed to making sure that everyone, including our neurodiverse community, has access to compassionate care.
Let’s talk about it. Seriously, just reach out and we’ll have an open conversation about where you’re at financially. Together, we’ll consider your household income, significant expenses, and other factors that might be weighing you down. It’s all about finding a rate that feels fair and manageable, so you can focus on feeling better, not stressing over the cost.
- Household income
- Major expenses (like those medical bills or student loans)
- Any other life circumstances affecting your ability to pay for therapy
At the end of the day, I want to make sure that your mental health care feels comfortable—not just emotionally, but financially. It’s about creating space for healing without adding financial pressure on top of it all.
I’m all about making sure that care is accessible, affordable, and, most importantly, effective. If you’re wondering about using insurance for therapy, or if you’re ready to reach out and schedule a session, I’m here to walk you through it. Every step of the way.
