What if I can't afford the full session rate?

Options that may help make therapy more accessible

Can I get a reduced rate for therapy sessions?

Yes — if cost is a barrier to starting therapy, you can ask your matched therapist about a temporary reduced rate. Simply bring it up at the start of your first session or when booking your first appointment.


We know that therapy is an investment, and the standard session rate isn't always affordable — especially for those without extended health benefits.

How does a reduced rate arrangement work?

In some cases, therapists may be able to offer a slightly reduced session fee for a limited period of time. These arrangements are discussed directly between you and your therapist and, if approved, are typically in place for approximately 2–3 months, after which you and your therapist will check in to reassess whether the arrangement should continue.

Is a reduced rate guaranteed?

While reduced rates aren’t guaranteed and are subject to each therapist's availability and discretion, we always encourage you to have an open conversation about what’s possible. Therapists will never judge you for asking.

If you haven't been matched with a therapist yet, you can get started by completing the Matching Questionnaire.
