Sliding Scale Therapy

Sliding Scale Therapy

Access to therapy shouldn’t be limited by finances. Sliding Scale Therapy makes mental health support more accessible by adjusting session fees based on your income, financial situation, and individual needs. At our Santa Monica practice, we believe everyone deserves quality care, and we work with clients to create a payment plan that is fair, affordable, and sustainable.

Why Sliding Scale Therapy Matters

Therapy is an essential part of maintaining mental and emotional health. Financial barriers can prevent people from seeking help when they need it most. Sliding scale therapy ensures:

  • Affordable access to licensed, experienced therapists
  • Continued care without the stress of full-fee sessions
  • A path to mental health support for individuals, couples, and families
  • Flexibility for clients experiencing financial transitions or hardships
  • Equity in access to mental health services

By offering sliding scale options, we help remove one of the biggest obstacles to emotional well-being.

I am blown away! I don’t write testimonials, unless I have been extremely moved by something. I was blessed to work with Brooke on a single session, and before this I was in therapy on and off with multiple therapists for the last 20 years of my life. Brooke was able to do more in one session than many years of work with my previous therapist. She has the true gift of great insight and compassion while also getting straight to the heart of your blind spots and unconscious issues in a way that has truly changed my life.

There are people who are good at their work there are people like Brooke: who are born to do it. I cannot recommend Brooke more highly. I can only imagine where I would be today if I had started working with her years ago. From the beginning of our session, she knew exactly what tools and questions that would work for my particular psychology and my personal experience. No other therapist has been able to do that or anything close.

What I also really appreciate from our session is Brooke's ability to go directly to the source of the issue while also keeping a very gentle and kind energy with me. I felt very seen, understood, and supported. Everything and more that I could have ever asked for from a therapist. I have a severe trauma history and complex issues she was able to immediately identify and help. If she could help me, I know she can help you too.

With your help, I've finally started to understand that while my vivid imagination often wants to create terrifying monsters under the bed, in a lot of cases those monsters are nothing more than a heap of decidedly less-terrifying laundry I've avoided for too long that just needs to be aired out and put away. Which is definitely a lot easier than monster slaying. Thank you for shedding light in the dark places I was too afraid to face alone.

I am extremely fortunate to work with Sydney, who is helping me create real internal change. The talent to listen well is Hall of Fame stuff, and she has that. She then follows with questions, strategies that are organic to the moment. I have come to believe that deep, radical, if occasionally deeply painful change ... and, then, healing can happen. I'm just at the lip of that last part - but would not have gotten there, AT ALL, without Sydney
