Frequently Asked Questions

Sliding Scale

Please note that if you request a sliding scale spot and really can afford to pay the full fee, you are limiting access to care for those who need the gift of financial flexibility. Being honest about your financial situation enables the growth of more equitable and financially sustainable communities. Alice encourages folks to reflect on current financial circumstances alongside areas of marginalization and areas of privilege. The cost of therapy reflects a respect and commitment to the work of practitioners in healing fields who have professional costs and living expenses. When paid fairly, practitioners are able to dedicate more resources to each client and can provide more free and low cost offerings. This sliding scale framework is based on the work of folks like Alexis J Cunningfolk and Hadassah Damien.

Good Faith Estimate

In January 2022, a law called the No Surprises Act went into effect that requires healthcare providers to share what is called a Good Faith Estimate to all clients annually. This outlines what you can expect to pay for the services you receive, and is intended to protect individuals from surprise billing. Alice will provide a Good Faith Estimate upon scheduling a first appointment.
