Equitable Pricing
Everyone should be able to access the care they deserve.
As of May 2023, I proudly offer equitable, pay-what-supports-you pricing.
This means you receive a valuable service at a rate that works for you – no questions asked. Below, I offer a suggested rate for each service that you should consider based on your financial situation.
Here's how it works:
- The standard rate is the actual cost of the service. If you opt for a rate that is below the standard rate, you are receiving a discount.
- The mid-range rate is for those who are able to meet their basic needs but have little-to-no expendable income. Paying for this program or service may qualify as a sacrifice but it would not create hardship.
- The most affordable rate is for those who may struggle to meet basic needs and paying for this program or service would still be a significant hardship.
FAQ
I do not require income verification or request other financial information. I trust my patients to be honest.
This equitable payment model is inspired by the Green Bottle Model from Worts + Cunning. Read about it here.
