Fee Reductions

In hopes to balance business habits that allow me to make a living with an acknowledgement that out-of-pocket therapy fees are unaffordable for many, I am committed to offering my services at a reduced rate in cases of need.  The therapy I provide at a reduced rate is no different than full-fee therapy, though the number of clients I am able to take on for less than my full fee is limited and dependent on the overall income of my practice.

It is my practice to defer to my clients’ understanding of their own financial circumstances in determining the need for fee reductions rather than request financial data or other proof.  While we may discuss increasing your fee as part of routine practice-wide reassessment, I will not seek to raise your fee based on any assumption about changes in your financial status.  Instead, I request that you consider informing me of any such changes that allow you to pay a higher fee.  As a complement to this, I also invite you to discuss with me any unforeseen financial circumstances or changes that make an agreed fee or session frequency unaffordable.

I am glad to discuss any questions or concerns related to this policy by phone or in session.
