A limited number of appointments may be available through the Financial Hardship Assistance Program for clients experiencing financial, insurance, housing, employment, family, caregiving, medical, or other significant circumstances affecting their ability to afford care, or who may otherwise not be able to access quality behavioral healthcare.
Assistance may be considered when one significant hardship, or several circumstances together, create a meaningful barrier to care. Eligibility is considered based on each client’s individual circumstances and practice availability. The program is not an income-based sliding scale, and Financial Hardship Assistance cannot be guaranteed for all clients.
-
Financial Hardship Assistance may be considered when circumstances materially affect a client’s ability to reasonably afford behavioral healthcare.
Examples may include loss of insurance and inability to afford full-pay rates creating a barrier to behavioral health services; inadequate or disrupted behavioral health coverage; employment or income disruption; significant medical or healthcare expenses; caregiving or dependent-care responsibilities; housing, utility, food, or other basic-needs instability; family or household crisis; transportation hardship; significant debt or unexpected necessary expenses; domestic violence, safety-related circumstances, disaster, or major property loss; or other significant financial or social circumstances affecting access to care.
Eligibility is based on the overall impact of the circumstances rather than on income alone. One substantial hardship, or multiple circumstances considered together, may support eligibility.

Clients who wish to inquire about Financial Hardship Assistance are invited to do so prior to scheduling, during the intake process, or when circumstances change during treatment.
Requests are considered individually and with respect for privacy and dignity. In some situations, the practice may ask for limited information or documentation to better understand the hardship. Self-attestation may also be accepted when appropriate.
-
Clients approved for Financial Hardship Assistance may receive temporary financial support based on the overall impact of their circumstances and the level of financial barrier they are experiencing.
The amount of assistance is determined individually and may vary based on the severity, duration, and combined effect of the circumstances involved, as well as program capacity and availability. Assistance is generally approved for up to three months at a time and may be reassessed or renewed if the hardship continues.
-
For some clients, using insurance benefits may be the most accessible option. Information about accepted insurance plans and how insurance is used for therapy is available on the Insurance page.
Financial Hardship Assistance does not replace or override insurance requirements, including applicable copayments, coinsurance, deductibles, or other amounts the practice may be required to collect.
Standard self-pay fees and payment information can be found on the Fees & Payment page.
-
Conversations about cost, affordability, and financial assistance are handled openly, respectfully, and without judgment. The goal is to help clients understand their options, ask questions comfortably, and have a clear sense of expected costs before beginning or continuing services.
You are always welcome to reach out with questions about fees, insurance, Financial Hardship Assistance, or other cost-related concerns.
