“Two important things are to have a genuine interest in people and to be kind to them. Kindness, I’ve discovered, is everything.”
– Isaac Bashevis Singer

Private Pay Sliding Scale Fee for individual therapy
A little about the sliding scale…..
While I would prefer to offer justice rating as free therapy for all, financially it is not feasible. Therefore, for those who cannot use health insurance to access mental health services with You Got Choices, LLC a sliding scale fee is available. This option is offered with equity in mind, reducing barriers towards health and wellness, and prioritizing services for people who identify as BIPOC, poor (or grew up poor/working class), immigrants, people with disabilities, historically marginalized individuals, and those considered “unemployable” by society, or currently unemployed with no access to consistent income.
Where do you fall on the sliding scale?
The Green Bottle represents financial privilege and personal financial experiences. The more privilege you have the more access you have to expendable income and services. The harder it is to access basic needs, like housing, food, transportation and health care, the more challenging it is to have access to an equitable lifestyle and choices.
You decide what you can afford.
No income verification. The choice is yours.
