As Angela discusses in her upcoming book about financial stress, many individuals and families can’t afford to see a private psychotherapist at the going market rates when problems arise. Although Flourish Counseling is a private business and does not receive any outside funds, we’ve found a way we can all work together to make a difference. It’s the patronage of all of our clients that allows us to offer the Pay It Forward Program as a socially responsible way of supporting others.
the pay it forward program
Ghandi once said, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” And so in this spirit, Flourish Counseling began to offer therapeutic support below the going market rates through its Pay It Forward program in July of 2007.
Psychotherapy Intern Elaine Avrus now provides all of the therapeutic services to those in the program. Here’s how it works:
- Therapy is available to adults, teens, couples and families. (Sorry, EMDR therapy is not available through this program.)
- Elaine works with people from all cultural, spiritual and sexual orientation groups.
- Everyone is eligible for support through this program! There are no income requirements or limits.
- Session fees range between $45 and $65 per session based on family size and household income.
- Pay it Forward clients may pay with cash, check, credit card or a Flexible Medical Spending Account card. (Sorry, insurance billing is not available through this program.)
