For Therapy Services

I understand investing in any form of care or wellbeing maintenance can be a financial commitment. My fee may seem high for what folks imagine for this type of care. The cost reflects a variety of circumstances including my formal education, state licensing board fees, specialized training, continuing education and resources, other business, and cost of living. Additionally, those who can afford my full fee are directly supporting others with limited resources who are able to access one of my sliding scale spots.

Fees

  • Individual therapy: $185 per 50min session

    • Teens, Young Adults, Adults, and Elders

    Dyadic (groups of 2-Person) Therapy: $225 per 50min session (75min session options available)

    • Partners, Parent/Child, Siblings, Friends

    Multi (3+ groups) System Therapy: $225 per 50min session (75min session options available)

    • triads, families, poly pods

  • Standard therapy sessions are 50 minutes in length. Longer sessions (75 - 90min) are available upon request, given if it is clinical appropriate for treatment, and will be billed at a pro-rated rate based on your standard hourly fee.

    Extended sessions may be appropriate for relational work, intensive processing, or when additional space is clinically beneficial.

Accessibility to care is an important part of this work and a deep value to me. I offer limited sliding scale options for those who are unable to meet my full fee. Sliding Scale is a pay-structure in which clients pay a fee sustainable for them on a scale determined by a practice or agency.

Clients who are financially resourced and able to pay my full fee make it possible for me to work with folks who have less access to support due to systemic barriers. This pay-structure creates a financial balance within the practice that supports my ability to work with clients of varying economic backgrounds. Priority for sliding scale is given to BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ individuals across the intersections of identity.

Sliding Scale for QT / BIPOC Clients & California Transitional-Aged Youth (18 - 22yrs old)
At Good Light Psychotherapy, I understand the systemic and financial barriers many QT/BIPOC and TAY individuals face in accessing mental health care. To increase access, I offer a sliding scale for clients whose income falls below or minimally meets their cost of living but who want to engage in therapy services. This ensures therapy remains affordable for those who may otherwise face financial barriers, while helping me sustain a high-quality, affirming private practice to continue to help others. All other clients are encouraged to use the standard sliding scale.
