Affordable Therapy: Sliding Scale and Accessible Care

At Juniper Counseling, we believe therapy should feel supportive, inclusive, and empowering. Too often, the cost of therapy becomes a barrier to getting the care you need. We want to change that.

That’s why we offer sliding scale counseling in Austin—a simple way to make therapy more affordable by adjusting fees based on your circumstances. In other words: you pay what you can.

But accessibility is about more than cost. It’s also about creating a safe, affirming space where you feel seen, understood, and cared for in ways that honor your story.

Accessible Mental Health Care in Austin

Accessibility isn’t just about lowering fees. It’s about making sure every part of therapy feels safe and welcoming.

🌱 Cultural Awareness – We recognize that identity, family, and community shape how we experience mental health. Whether you’re navigating cultural expectations, family dynamics, or your own sense of self, we meet you with curiosity and respect.

💛 Inclusive Care – While we welcome clients from all backgrounds, we are especially committed to supporting Asian American individuals and other communities who often face unique pressures around achievement, family obligation, and belonging.

🌿 Meeting You Where You Are – Healing looks different for everyone. For some, it’s slowing down and making sense of what’s beneath the surface. For others, it’s learning to advocate for yourself in a new chapter of life. Wherever you are, therapy adapts to you.

Why Sliding Scale Counseling Matters

Money shouldn’t be the reason someone goes without care. Maybe you’re a student working part-time, a parent supporting a family, or someone between jobs. Life circumstances shift, but your need for support doesn’t.

Our sliding scale therapy in Austin is one way we live out our values:

  • Removing barriers so you can focus on healing, not finances.

  • Creating safety so you don’t have to wonder if you belong here.

  • Offering flexibility so therapy is sustainable for the long term.

A Safe Place to Grow

Like the resilient juniper tree, you have the strength to grow, heal, and find balance. Together, we’ll create a space where you can pause, breathe, and discover your most authentic self.

Your first consultation is always a chance to ask questions, explore your needs, and see if we’re the right fit. From there, we’ll work with you to find a rate that makes therapy possible.
