Affordable Counseling Program
Quality mental health care that is accessible to all is one of the pillars of our mission at The Rylie Center for Hope and Healing. Additionally, we as leaders in our community have a deep passion for training and educating the next generation of helping professionals on equity, justice, unconditional positive regard, service, and philanthropy.
Our Affordable Counseling Clinic allows for individuals that are not insured or under-insured to receive quality mental health support at an affordable rate while allowing the next generation of healers to master their clinical skills. Rates for Affordable Counseling Clinic are on a sliding scale basis, based on your economic need. We will never ask for proof of income, employment, citizenship, or insurance. We trust that you will use your best judgement to represent your financial situation and pay for your care accordingly.
Rates range from $20-$60
* If you are unsure of how to gauge what your economic need is, we suggest using the "Green Bottle Sliding Scale" model below.
The Affordable Counseling Clinic is staffed by Master's level, graduate students in their final semesters of clinical rotations. These students are well-qualified and highly vetted to be working in our clinic. They are supervised by highly experienced, long-time therapists in our clinic while providing care to you. Receiving therapy from a graduate-level intern does not mean that you are receiving any less "quality" of therapy as opposed to seeing a therapist that is licensed. We were all graduate-level interns at one point in our career. All of the interns in our practice are highly qualified with many years of experience in the mental health or healthcare-related field before interning with our practice.
