Counseling Services
If you do not have insurance coverage and/or your finances are limited, there are several possibilities for obtaining counseling at a lower cost. Some professionals may be willing to lower their standard fee based on the client’s ability to pay - often called a “sliding scale”. Also, there are several university-based centers and private practice agencies that offer reduced rates. If you do not have a car, five of these agencies are easily accessible by public transportation, and one is within walking distance from campus.
