hi,
It's well worth your while to make a few calls around. I am definitely on the bottom of the economic ladder, but have been working with a pdoc every few months who offers a sliding scale - I pay $50/visit. Not quite cheap, but a lot cheaper than the usual rate. I wanted to begin more regular therapy, so I asked for some recommendations from a friend, and made a few calls - and asked the pdoc I talked to (who didn't have any time available) if she knew of anyone with a sliding scale. She told me of a colleague who has a really low slide, because he doesn't need the money but loves the work. I'll meet him on Tuesday . . . and hopefully all will go well. They're out there! You have to do some looking, but there are people who are willing to help.
take care.
