Pricing & Sliding Scale

 

To ensure my services reach as many individuals and families in our community as possible, I invite your active involvement in determining your contribution. It's important to acknowledge that we often tend to focus on our perceived deficiencies rather than recognizing the privileges, big and small, that we possess.

Here's how to proceed:

  1. Reflect on which of the following three tiers aligns best with your personal experiences.

  2. Specify an exact dollar amount within the chosen tier, rather than merely indicating the tier.

  3. Share this information with me.

That's all there is to it! I understand that this might be a novel process for many, but my aim is for it to be a constructive experience that encourages us to acknowledge our individual privileges. If you require further assistance or if you fall into tier one but anticipate difficulty with the suggested rates, I'm here to discuss options with you.

    I encounter discrimination in hiring or wage rates.

    I am a descendant of enslaved individuals or Native American Indigenous communities.

    $80 - $110 / session

  • Tier Two

    I am single or share expenses with roommates and/or do not have dependents.

    I am capable of managing my student loan payments, either currently in repayment or having paid them off.

    I receive health insurance and/or other benefits from my employer.

    I possess reliable transportation for daily use or access public transportation and care shares with relative ease.

    I can afford to miss work due to illness or leisure activities and still cover next month's expenses, or my job has paid time off.

    I am able to travel when necessary, particularly for unexpected events such as family emergencies or funerals.

    $110 - $140 / session

  • Tier Three

    I am a homeowner.

    I reside in a dual-income household and split expenses.

    I possess investments, retirement funds, or inherited wealth.

    I travel for leisure.

    I have access to family wealth and support during times of necessity.

    I choose to work part-time or am voluntarily unemployed, which may include being unemployed due to full-time schooling in pursuit of a degree.

    I enjoy a relatively high earning potential attributed to my education (or privilege based on gender, race, class background, etc.).

    $130 - $160 / session

Relationship - $175

I do select work with couples, partnerships, and polycules. At this time, relationship sessions are not available on a sliding scale. I prioritize working with queer, kinky, and/or non-monogamous relationships. Grief can be one of the issues you’re working on together, but is not required. Experience the ease of working with someone you don’t have to explain non-monogamy 101 to!

I am not the original creator of this sliding scale verbiage, though it has been edited for our use here. I acknowledge and appreciate the intellectual labor performed in creating such effective tools!
