Highland Park Reduced Fee Therapy

Reduced fee therapy without reduced care.
Affordability can make finding a therapist complicated. You might find someone who seems like a great fit, only to realize their fee isn’t sustainable. Or you may find a lower-cost option but wonder whether you’ll have to compromise on the kind of therapy or relationship you’re looking for.
We don’t believe reduced fee should mean reduced investment in your care.
At Kindman & Co., reduced fee therapy isn’t something we reserve only for interns or newer clinicians. Every therapist on our team offers reduced fee spots, giving you access to therapists across different licensure levels, specialties, and years of experience.
We intentionally reserve 20% of our practice-wide caseload for reduced fee therapy because financial accessibility is part of our commitment to showing up for the community we’re a part of here in Highland Park and Northeast Los Angeles.
Affordable therapy with our graduate interns
Lower fees can also be a really good way to begin therapy.
Our graduate interns offer some of our most affordable therapy options while completing advanced clinical training under the supervision of our most-experienced Kindman & Co. clinicians.
And they’re not doing this work alone. Interns receive ongoing supervision, training, and support while learning our relational, trauma-informed, identity-affirming approach to therapy.
We reserve 40% of our graduate interns’ caseloads for reduced fee spots.
Graduate intern full fees:
Individual therapy: $80 for a 50-minute session
Couples & relationship therapy: $95 for a 60-minute session
Additional reduced fee spots: $50-$60, available on a limited basis
For many people looking for compassionate, affordable therapy in Los Angeles, working with a Kindman & Co. graduate intern can make consistent therapy financially possible without giving up the support of an established group practice.

Therapy in Highland Park that makes room for more of you.
Lower-cost therapy doesn’t have to mean one-size-fits-all therapy.
Our work is grounded in relational therapy, which means we’re interested in you as a whole person and in the relationships, identities, histories, communities, and systems that have shaped your experience.
Depending on who you work with, therapy might include support around anxiety, relationships, trauma, grief, identity, life transitions, family dynamics, neurodivergence, chronic illness, LGBTQIA2S+ experiences, or simply figuring out what you want your life and relationships to look like.
You don’t need to know exactly what kind of therapy you need before reaching out. That’s part of what our match process is for.
Find affordable therapy that actually feels like a fit.
Schedule a complimentary 15–20 minute match call with our Care Coordinator, Clarissa.
Tell us a little about what’s bringing you to therapy, what kind of therapist might help you feel comfortable to do meaningful work, and what fee is realistically sustainable for you.
We’ll help you explore the options currently available, whether that’s a reduced fee opening with one of our therapists or affordable therapy with a graduate intern.

Common Questions About Affordable & Reduced Fee Therapy
-
We use the term reduced fee therapy rather than sliding scale because we don’t assess every prospective client on a sliding scale or calculate fees according to a standardized income formula.
Instead, we intentionally reserve a portion of our caseload for clients who need a lower fee to make ongoing therapy financially sustainable. Availability and fees vary depending on the therapist.
-
Reduced fee availability varies by clinician and current openings. Our Care Coordinator can talk with you about what you can afford and which therapists currently have reduced fee space.
Our graduate interns provide an additional affordable option, with full fees of $80 for 50-minute individual therapy and $95 for 60-minute couples or relationship therapy, plus a limited number of additional reduced fee openings.
-
Our earliest experiences with care, conflict, attention, and belonging shape what feels possible in relationships now. We explore those histories gently and collaboratively, at a pace that respects your nervous system and your agency.
-
You may understand a pattern intellectually and still feel it take over in your body. We help you notice emotion, sensation, protective responses, and relational cues so that insight becomes something you can live, not simply something you can explain beautifully while continuing to suffer.
A classic overachiever trap; we know her well.
-
Our aim is not a perfected, endlessly optimized self. It is a life with more room for authenticity, reciprocal connection, pleasure, rest, complexity, and choices that reflect what matters to you.

Begin Your Healing
If you're ready to move out of survival mode and into deeper connection, with yourself and others, we’re here.
What to expect in therapy
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you are used to being the helper, the competent one, or the person who makes things easier for everyone else.
You don’t need the perfect explanation
You can arrive uncertain, conflicted, skeptical, angry, tearful, numb, or unsure where to begin. We will help you find a starting point together.
You set the pace
We believe that therapy should not require you to disclose before you feel ready or move toward a predetermined version of healing. We collaborate with you, check in about what is and is not working, and respect your right to make choices about your care.
We connect practical change with deeper understanding
Sessions may include identifying patterns, practicing boundaries, preparing for difficult conversations, understanding triggers, or finding ways to regulate overwhelm. We also make space for the deeper histories, relationships, and systems that give those patterns meaning.
The relationship itself matters
You’re welcome to tell us when something lands, when it doesn’t, when you feel misunderstood, or when the work needs to change direction. Repair is an integral part of relationship, not proof that the relationship has failed.
You don’t have to become less complex to feel better
Therapy can help you hold contradiction: strength and tenderness, anger and care, grief and relief, belonging and difference. You do not have to choose one tidy identity or emotion to be worthy of support.
