Fees and Payment
Sliding scale fees are based on family size and income. This program offers anywhere from a 10% discount to a 50% discount. We need proof of Income for one month from all members in your household that receive income, to determine eligibility. Payment is required at the time of service to receive the discount. No-cost services are available for well-child health exams and family planning. Other grant funds may be available as well. Please check with our receptionist if you think you might be eligible for any of these discounts. Patients who do not qualify for the discount program and remain on self pay will be offered a 10% discount for payment in full at the time of service.
No one will be denied access to services due to the inability to pay.

One quick last question. Who was seeking counseling today?
Do you know the reason they are not accepting clients?
Qualifying for assistance from California's program usually depends on the severity of your condition and financial circumstance. Read our full guide to California's program.
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
