Pricing

Pricing that meets you where you are.

Nobody gets turned away for money here. If you can pay, you pay. If you can't, you don't. That's the whole model.

$15
Standard

If $15 is doable for you, this is the rate that keeps SteadyGround Counseling running. It's not a discount — it's the actual cost of a session.

Best for: people who can cover $15 without stress.
Most common
$30–60
Pay it forward

If you want to contribute more, you're directly funding a session for someone who can't pay the full rate right now. It's generosity, not guilt.

Best for: people who can afford a little more and want to make it available to others.
$0–14
Name your price

Tell Jessica what works. She'll meet you there. No paperwork, no proof of hardship, no waiting list you have to qualify into.

Best for: anyone who genuinely can't pay $15 right now.

The $0–14 tier is funded by pay-it-forward clients and Jessica's own commitment to this work. It doesn't require an application. Just be honest with her.

Jessica will reach back out after a few days to see how it went. No extra charge.
The same Jessica every time
No rotating coaches, no intake forms, no cold stranger. You're not starting over with every call.
Honesty

What coaching is — and what it isn't

✗
Not therapy. Jessica is a certified life coach, not a licensed therapist or counselor.
✗
Not crisis intervention. If you're in immediate danger, call 988 or 1-800-799-7233.
✗
Not a diagnosis. She won't diagnose, prescribe, or replace medical or mental health care.
✗
Not a subscription. You pay per session, after the session. Nothing auto-renews.
If you're in crisis, free support is available right now:

Objections

Questions people have

Why so cheap? Is it real?
Yes, it's real. Jessica set the rate this way on purpose — not as a promotional hook, but because she believes real support shouldn't require a savings account. $15 is what she charges for a standard session. The higher tiers exist because some clients want to contribute more, and that extra goes directly toward keeping the lower tiers available.
Can I really pay $0?
Yes. Just be honest with Jessica about what you can manage. She keeps a small number of free or heavily-reduced spots each month, funded by pay-it-forward clients. No application, no proof of income, no bureaucracy — just a conversation.
What if I want to pay more later?
You can pay whatever feels right in the future. There's no pricing contract. You decide what a session is worth to you each time, and Jessica trusts your judgment.
Do you take insurance?
No — and that's actually a feature, not a limitation. Insurance requires a diagnosis code, a treatment plan, and clinical documentation. Jessica isn't running a clinical practice, and she doesn't want the paperwork to get in the way of the relationship. Paying out-of-pocket means no diagnosis on your record, no pre-authorization, and no insurance company deciding how many sessions you get.
