Fees and Payment
Fees are set on a sliding scale basis using gross income and the size of the family unit as a barometer. The fee is also based on the assumption of weekly sessions. Should income change or your session frequency change, we will adjust the fee accordingly. Fees are reevaluated on an annual basis. We want to offer affordable fees, but without reasonable reimbursement we cannot stay open. Our fees range from $35 per hour to $120 per hour for individuals and $40 to $125 per hour for conjoint/couple sessions. Patients are expected to pay for services at the time they are rendered.
Patients who carry insurance should remember that professional services are rendered and charged to you and not the insurance company. We will provide you with an Attending Psychotherapist's Statement as a receipt, which you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. To keep fees as low as possible, and since we have no regular office staff to handle the paper work, we do not belong to any Insurance Provider Panels or Medicare or MediCal. Patients must contact these entities directly to inquire about receiving benefits.
This is a non profit agency.
Services Offered To: Adults Couples Teens Children
Payment: Sliding Scale

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.
