Sliding Scale
At Holistic Psychotherapy NYC, we are committed to making our services accessible to as many therapy-seekers as possible. While our full rate for a 45 minute session is $250, we also offer an honor system-based sliding scale.
This means that we do not ask for proof of income or other documentation of financial hardship, but we do ask that you pay the highest rate that you can afford based on your financial circumstances. This allows us to provide therapy to a wider range of individuals in the community while also still compensating our therapists fairly in accordance with their education and training.
Below are general guidelines for sliding scale based on yearly income, as well as information that may help you determine whether to ask for a sliding scale reduced fee:
