Investments
We use a sliding scale to promote accessibility, economic justice, and our values regarding redistribution. It is one way we are challenging the classist and capitalist society in which we live, while ensuring fair compensation for our practitioners. When done well, it requires active participation from the entire community to work. So we invite you to consider your class background, earning power and systemic privileges when choosing your investment ability. For those able, please choose redistribution or full price at the time of scheduling otherwise contact us using the button below to discuss a solidarity investment.

Insurance
Though we are unable to take insurance at this time, we are working to get on insurance boards to do so in the future. Until then, our therapy services are typically eligible for reimbursement by health insurance as an out of network provider. We will provide you with a receipt of payment to attach to your insurance company’s claim form.

Cancelation Policy
Clients are asked to cancel or reschedule appointments within 24 hours of their scheduled session time. Missed or late cancellation of an appointment will be charged the usual rate of the session.
Beginning January 1, 2022, The “No Surprises” Act requires health care practitioners to inform new and prospective clients (uninsured and private pay) that they have a right to a “Good Faith Estimate” on the charges they may be billed.
