Sliding Scale Tool
Alchemy works as a sliding-scale clinic, a tool built to help repond to historic and present-day systemic imbalance of wealth in many marginalized communities. By creating a range of rates, we are able to support our mission of equitable access to mental health services for diverse populations.

We've built the tool below to help you calculate where you land on our scale. Although we recognize financial security cannot be distilled to a series of questions, we hope this can be used as a good starting point to reflect on your resources and what you're able to contribute. We appreciate your transparency and honesty through this process.
Please check the following boxes for each question if your answer is "yes" to any of the statements. This will help to determine your sliding scale range.*

Do you currently own residential property or have access to stable rent-free housing? (This question does not apply to those who are Native or Indigenous)Have you earned a graduate degree?Are you able to make minimum payments on bills or credit cards?Do you receive healthcare coverage and benefits that allow you to afford and access necessary care?Do you have zero debt?Do you have a safety net of people in your life you can rely on for financial support if needed?Does your income only support you, and not other loved ones?Have you or do you expect to inherit a significant amount of money or property?None of the above
