How Sliding Scale Fees and Subsidies Work

Many local therapists and clinics in North York offer sliding scale fees. This means your session cost is based on your income and specific situation. Some organizations also offer subsidies for those living on limited means or without insurance.

Virtual and In-Person Therapy: Making Support Flexible

Accessibility is increasing, with more clinics (including our own) providing teletherapy alongside traditional in-person sessions. This flexibility helps reduce travel, saves time, and opens more opportunities for people with busy schedules or mobility challenges. Always ask a provider about available options.

Tips for Choosing the Right Affordable Support

• Ask if a clinic offers sliding scales or subsidized funding.
• Check provider credentials and specialties—ensure they’re a good fit for your needs.
• Inquire about group programs or support groups, often more affordable than one-on-one care.
• If you’re in crisis, prioritize free resources for immediate help.
