For those who experience financial barriers, are surviving, and cannot access financial support from their community.

Our Sliding Scale rates are not fixed and are open to discussion.

For those who are financially stable, have some discretionary income, and/or have access to financial support from their community.

For those who are financially thriving and have discretionary income.

Additional funds above the standard rate will be used to subsidize fees for community members experiencing financial hardship and receiving Sliding Scale services.

By offering a sliding scale rate structure, we are doing our part to acknowledge that financial barriers often prevent individuals from receiving the support they deserve. As we commit to providing services that acknowledge the structural powers that cause us harm, using a sliding scale allows us to both draw attention to financial barriers while encouraging accountability from clients who are currently in a secure financial situation.

Please note that our sliding scale payment structure is not a sale or discount. These rates should be revised whenever a shift in economic access happens for the client.
