Your healing should not be limited by income. A sliding scale guide to make support accessible to all.
My heart's desire is to assist you with the help of the Lord, professional development, and lived experience. To recognize the ministry component for those with lower incomes, the following sliding scale will assist you in determining a reasonable session payment.
To use the sliding scale, contact our office to set it up.
Contact Our OfficeYour past does not have to define your future. Understanding your score is the first step toward healing.
ACE stands for Adverse Childhood Experiences, which measures traumatic experiences you had during childhood, such as domestic violence or sexual abuse. ACE scores range on a scale from 0 to 10, with a higher score indicating more negative childhood experiences.
The higher your ACE score, the higher your likelihood of developing various side effects, including an increased risk of smoking, drinking, developing diabetes, and even cancer.
It is important to note that although your risk increases as your ACE score increases, it is certainly not destiny. There are many things that can be done to reduce your risk, including regularly practicing meditation, exercising, eating a healthy balanced diet, taking time off, spending time in community, and seeking out help from a mental health provider.
