INVESTMENT IN SERVICES
An Equitable Pricing Model:
Traditional business models rely on methods that often create financial barriers for many due to access to resources and our varying identities. Our effort is to center equity in our practices and strive for collective care by encouraging intentional self-assessment through an equitable pricing model.
The market rate in the Boulder/Denver area for services is $150-$250 for individual sessions. Our starting rate is $250. We recognize this “market” rate impacts each person differently and disproportionately marginalizes folks who encounter barriers of racism, sexism, ableism, etc.
To address this, we are using the following self-assessment and scale to offer choice in how you engage with your investment for services. We invite you to review the assessment questions and then locate yourself within the scale based on your present moment circumstances. And trust that you will honor the spirit and intent of collective support should your resources and access change in either direction, and that you will advocate for your needs.
Self-Assessment:
Please take the brief self-assessment below to help guide your process of locating yourself within the sliding scale. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or further discussion to support your process.
