AVPCC Sliding Fee Scale and Assistance Fund

Clients who do not have insurance or have insurance whose benefits have been exhausted for the year may qualify for the Sliding Fee Scale or the AVPCC Assistance Fund. The Sliding Fee Scale allows a person to pay for therapy at a reduced rate based upon their family's income and expenses. This fee extends from the $100 per session fee down to a fee of $60 depending on one's ability to pay.

In addition, AVPCC maintains the Assistance Fund that allows a person who cannot not even afford the $60 minimum Sliding Scale Fee amount to receive still a further substantial fee reduction based on need. Please note that these reduced fees fall well below the cost of the session to the Center. In order to provide this pastoral counseling to those most in need, the Assabet Valley Pastoral Counseling Center depends on donations to this vital ministry from faith communities, civic groups and individuals (including United Way designation).
