Sliding Scale Therapy

Sliding scale therapy in Chicago. Beginning this fall, Balanced Life Counseling will offer low- to no-fee individual sessions for adolescents and adults, set according to income, so cost is never a barrier to getting the support you need.

Quality Care That Fits Your Budget

Everyone deserves access to good therapy, regardless of what they are able to pay. Launching this fall, our sliding scale program will offer low- to no-fee individual sessions for adolescents and adults, with fees set according to your income. These sessions will be provided by a second-year master's intern — a graduate clinician completing advanced clinical training — under the close supervision of Stephen Oelke, LCPC. That means dedicated, attentive care informed by current training, with an experienced supervisor guiding the work every step of the way.

Sliding scale therapy can support you with:

  • Anxiety, stress, and low mood

  • Navigating school, family, and peer relationships

  • Life transitions and everyday challenges

  • Building coping skills and self-understanding

  • Support through a difficult season, at a fee you can manage

Cost should never be the reason someone goes without care — and here, it isn't.
