Counseling Sliding Scales Fees Chart

A sliding fee scale in therapy is a pricing model in which the cost of counseling services is adjusted based on a client's income level or financial ability. This ensures that therapy services are more accessible to a broader range of people.

A sliding minimum fee scale typically appears as a set of predefined fee brackets corresponding to different income levels. Clients pay more or less for different fees, depending on their documented income.

A sliding scale fee structure aims to provide affordable services to clients with varying financial situations. By offering a minimum session fee, practitioners ensure that their services are accessible to a broader demographic, which helps maintain a stable client load. This structure allows clients to pay session fees based on their income, ensuring that those in financial need can still access essential services while supporting diversity and equity within the client base.
