Tiered Billing

This is a community model of accessing care.

 

If you are able to pay the full price for these services you are supporting those that are not able to afford the full price. Additionally, I support 2-3 folks at any given time who are able to pay far less than the subsidized rate. I also look for ways to serve in the community that are not paid or are of low cost to participants.

 

This way of looking at counselling asks us to discern the difference between sacrifice and hardship. Doing this work may involve a sacrifice such as a vacation, a dinner out, or buying new clothes.

​

Knowing that somatic based counselling is capable of shifting deep patterns in a way that lasts informs my rates and perspectives on billing.

​

The tiers below are a starting point. If you have a price point in between them, or are a person that could pay above full price I am open to that conversation.

​

Thanks for being open to the ongoing conversation with me as your economic situation may shift as we are working together.

This idea uses concepts found in the work of Alexis J. Cunningfolk.
