Fees & Pricing Information

How we Determine our Sliding Scale Rates

At The Clearing, we believe healing should be available to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances. Our sliding scale model creates a sustainable way to offer services across different economic realities while fostering collective healing in our community.

When clients who have greater financial capacity invest at the standard rate, they directly enable us to provide reduced-cost services to those experiencing economic hardship or from historically marginalized communities. This approach recognizes that true healing happens not in isolation, but through supporting one another.

Financial Assessment Questions

We use an assessment based on the Anti-Oppression Resource & Training Alliance (AORTA) framework to help identify which pricing tier reflects your current circumstances. This self-assessment honors both your financial reality and your role in supporting community access.

Please answer the following questions honestly. Each "yes" answer represents access to financial stability or privilege:

1. Are you or your family homeowners or landowners?

2. Have you attended private educational institutions or earned an advanced degree?

3. Can you comfortably make minimum payments on regular bills and credit cards?

4. Have you been able to easily access and afford health insurance for yourself and family?

5. Do you have little to no debt and/or disposable income for non-essentials?

6. Do you have a financial safety net of stable or wealthy family and friends?

7. Do you hold U.S. citizenship?

8. Does your income support only yourself, rather than extended family or dependents?

9. Have you inherited money or property, or do you expect to?

10. Have you attended or could you have afforded college and/or graduate school?

Pricing Tiers Based on Your Responses

If you answered “yes” to 7+ questions, you likely can afford our Standard Rates (i.e., Redistribution Rate)

• You have moderate to significant financial stability and access to resources

• Your investment at this rate helps to indirectly subsidize services for others in need

• This rate covers the true cost of services

If you answered “yes” to 4-6 questions, you likely can afford our Reduced Rate (i.e., Sustaining Rate) - up to a 20% reduction from Standard Rates

• You have some financial stability but face economic constraints

• This reduced rate makes services more accessible while supporting sustainability

If you answered “yes” to 1-3 questions, you likely can afford our Community Rate (i.e., Solidarity Rate) - up to a 40% reduction from Standard Rates

• You face significant financial challenges or economic marginalization

• This rate ensures services remain accessible despite financial barriers

If you answered “yes” to 0 questions, you may be able to afford our Community Care Rate (i.e., Solidarity Rate) - up to a 60% reduction from Standard Rates

• You experience substantial economic hardship or systemic marginalization

• This deeply reduced rate removes many financial barriers to healing

Financial Assistance for Psychedelic Assisted Therapeutic Care

• The Sheri Eckert Foundation’s Psilocybin Access Fund (PAF) helps those in need of healing overcome financial barriers to psilocybin therapy within the Oregon state regulated model, but it is worth connecting with them regarding your receiving services here in Colorado. We give funds to individuals from underserved communities who couldn't otherwise afford this treatment, expanding access and healing opportunities.

• Additionally, the Forward Fund connects those seeking healing with financial support, through a confidential process that preserves privacy and dignity.

• For veterans, grant and scholarship options are available at organizations such as the Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions (VETS) and the Heroic Hearts Project.

Additional Financial Assistance Program

We know… the rates for psilocybin therapy carries with it quite the sticker shock, especially now in its infancy here in Colorado. The costs in this newly regulated industry reflect the extensive training, licensing, facility requirements, and comprehensive care involved, but we recognize these necessary expenses can put treatment out of reach for many who could benefit greatly.

Here is the thing: we truly believe everyone deserves access to healing, regardless of their financial circumstances. While our practice relies on standard and sliding-scale pricing to remain sustainable, we're committed to creating regular opportunities for those who face significant financial barriers.

Several times each year, we open a limited number of spaces in small group journeys for individuals who otherwise couldn't easily afford to readily access this medicine. If you're interested in being considered for future opportunities, please reach out to join our community list. When spaces become available, we'll connect with those who've expressed interest to discuss possibilities.

These sessions maintain the same comprehensive care—thorough preparation, professional facilitation, and complete integration support—because your healing journey deserves nothing less than full attention and expertise. To maintain program sustainability and ensure quality care for everyone, these community spaces are offered periodically alongside our regular practice.

Next Steps

After completing this assessment, please contact us to discuss your pricing tier and schedule your initial consultation. We approach these conversations with complete confidentiality and without judgment—our goal is simply to ensure you receive the care you need in a way that works for your circumstances.

All financial discussions remain strictly confidential and are handled with care and respect.
