​

At NeuroBloom Psychotherapy, we believe that access to quality mental health care is a right—not a privilege. While we are a business, we are also a values-driven organization committed to equity, transparency, and community care. As such, we offer a limited number of reduced-fee (sliding scale) therapy slots based on identified financial need, not income verification.

​

​

Eligibility and Process:

Sliding scale spots are available to clients who are experiencing financial hardship, lack adequate insurance coverage, or are in a transitional life phase (e.g., between jobs, newly single parents, students, etc.). Eligibility is determined collaboratively between the client and therapist, based on a good faith conversation about current financial barriers to care.

​

We do not require tax returns, pay stubs, or other invasive income documentation. Our approach centers dignity and assumes honesty.

​

Fee Structure:

Reduced rates are determined on a case-by-case basis and are subject to periodic review (typically every 6 months). Clients are encouraged to inform us if their financial situation changes. Continued access to sliding scale services may be adjusted accordingly to allow us to equitably serve others with similar needs.

​

Ethical Foundation:

This policy aligns with the NASW Code of Ethics, which states that social workers should "assist clients in obtaining needed services through available resources" and “ensure access to services for people who are disadvantaged or vulnerable.”

It is also consistent with the ACA Code of Ethics (A.10.c.), which urges counselors to "consider the financial status of clients and the locality’s economic standards when establishing fees" and to avoid financially exploiting clients.

​

Limitations:

• Sliding scale spots are limited and not guaranteed.

• Not all providers at NeuroBloom Psychotherapy  may have current availability for reduced-rate services.

• We reserve the right to prioritize access for individuals who hold marginalized identities or face systemic barriers to care.

If you’re interested in exploring a reduced rate, please let your therapist  know during your consultation. We’ll do our best to accommodate your needs or provide appropriate referrals.
