Price Transparency

At Closer to Fine Therapy, we do offer a sliding scale rate for all services. If you are paying out of pocket but find yourself in circumstances that make our full rate hard to pay, please ask about our sliding scale slots.

To get a good idea of how our sliding scale works, take a look at this graphic designed by Alexis J Cunningfolk. To summarize, if you are able to meet all of your basic needs and have expendable income, the sliding scale is likely not a good fit. If you have a little spending money but still find yourself stressed about basic needs each month, you might fit in our second or third tiers. For folks that have a great deal of instability and struggle to meet their basic needs, that would put you in our fourth and fifth tiers. It's important to know that we will not personally assign a tier for you, you must judge you own situation and let us know what tier you feel fits you. It also does not need to be permanent, and you can slide up and down the scale as slots open and your circumstances change.

We also have the option to bill your insurance as an out of network provider. That may be cheaper than some of the options on the sliding scale. Please check with your insurance to see what your individual policy charges for out of network providers.

At the end of the day, we want mental health services to be affordable for everyone in need, so please don't be shy when reaching out. Behind this website, we are humans that value flexibility and understanding.
