Our Sliding Fees

We use a sliding scale to determine the amount each client pays for services, based on household income and the federal poverty guidelines. If you'd like us to determine where you fall on the sliding fee scale, we will need you to answer a few questions about your income. If you don't want to answer those questions, that's OK; you will pay our standard rate, $300/hour.
