Is this charity or a discount gimmick?
Neither. It is a real, ongoing fair-fee program. Reduced-fee and sliding-scale spots are built into how the practice runs, and they are open now. The number you give us tells us which of them fits you.
How low can the fee actually go?
It depends on availability and your situation, which is exactly why we ask what works for you first. Tell us your number and we will be honest about what we can match. If we cannot meet it today, we will tell you straight and point you to other options.
Are these real licensed therapists?
Yes. Every therapist at Auren Wellness is a licensed therapist, and you can look each one up on their college's public register. A fair fee does not mean a less qualified therapist.
Do you bill insurance?
Where your plan allows it, we bill your insurer directly so you are not out of pocket up front. If you have any coverage at all, it is worth mentioning on the call, since it often makes therapy far more affordable than people expect.
What if I can pay full price? Should I still come?
Absolutely. Clients who pay the standard fee are part of what makes the reduced-fee spots possible. Whatever you can comfortably manage is the right number for you, and you are very welcome here.
Is step one really anonymous?
Yes. Step one asks only for the amount you would pay, nothing else. We only learn who you are if you choose to leave your email in step two so we can match you.
