Sliding Scale

​This is a guide, not a prescription. You know your financial reality better than anyone or any scale, period.

It's often found that folks who've experienced early-life abundance who are *currently temporarily scarce* select lower on these scales than people who've experienced early-life scarcity who are temporarily abundant. That's not what's supposed to happen -- and it doesn't create a sustainable practice for me or my clients.

To place yourself on the scale please see which tier most resonates with your current experiences, history, and financial status. There are lots of experiences and situations not covered here - place yourself as you best can, being honest and self-loving. As a gentle reminder, the more folks who are able to enter into the T3 slot the more room I have to offer T1 slots in a sustainable and long-term way. 

It's ok to have resources! And it's ok not to have them. That's what a scale is meant to account for.

​

Tier ranges:

​

T1: contact me and we can explore what might be a sustainable and accessible rate for you

(this tier is currently full).
T2: 101-160$ for ind. and 141-200$ for couples
T3: 161-220$ for ind. and 201-260$ for couples

​

If you have any questions or feel that cost is a barrier please contact me and we can discuss potential avenues forward. Also, if you feel like this scale does not provide an equitable amount for you and you would like to pay more please contact me and we can see what might feel equitable for you.

July's Sliding Scale Graphic outlining her three tiers of session fees.

*Tier 1- By choosing this tier you are letting your community support you and investing in yourself without sacrificing your basic needs. July has a limited amount of tier 1 slots available. Priority for these spots will be given to folks of marginalized identities and backgrounds. (These spots are currently full)

*Tier 2 and 3- By choosing this tier you are acknowledging the act of Investing in therapy may require short-term trade-offs (like fewer dinners out, not buying new clothing or going on vacation) but likely will not harm you financially in the long term.

Helpful contexts and definitions: 

  • Basic needs include food, housing, transportation, and medication

  • A family is a group of two people or more related by birth, marriage, adoption, or otherwise who may reside together or separately but still have their finances tied together; all such people (including related subfamily members) are considered members of one family.
