Adults
A place to make sense of anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, stress at work, big life changes, or whatever feels hard to carry alone.
How counseling worksCounseling that fits your life and your budget.
We support adults, teens, couples and families through life’s challenges and transitions. Our sliding-scale fees mean care is possible, in Burlington or by video anywhere in Vermont.

Same counselors. A fee that fits what you earn.
Our sliding-scale model is based on your income, not your diagnosis. Your fee is set by your household income and size, from $15 to $140 a session. Medicaid and Medicare cost nothing here.

Teens 13–17
Teens get private time in counseling. A parent or guardian signs consent, then we make room for the teen’s own voice.
Couples
A steady place to talk through distance, conflict, changing roles, and the patterns that keep repeating.
Families
Support for families navigating stress, change, conflict, and the wish to feel more connected at home.
Care without the proving
There is no paperwork to prove what you make.
Tell us your household income and how many people it supports on your first call. We do not ask for pay stubs or tax returns. If $15 is still too much, say so. We will work it out.
