Second City Counseling Services Sliding Scale Fees

Hourly fees are listed above for clients paying out of pocket or who are not using health insurance. We accept cash, credit/debit, PayPal, and Western Union. Our PayPal store is here. Personal check is accepted from US residents.

Separately, if you become involved in legal proceedings that require my participation, even if you are using health insurance, you will be expected to pay for my professional time, even if I am called to testify by another party. Because of the difficulty of legal involvement, I charge $300.00/ £250 per hour for preparation and attendance at any legal proceeding.

SCCS is a counseling service– we are not IT specialists. We encourage clients and potential clients to protect themselves and their computers by having adequate virus/malware software protection, researching any suspicious links or apps, and by using a Virtual Private Network (VPN), to name a few suggestions.
