How Sliding Scale Services Work

All sliding-scale services follow BAHS Group’s Practice Policies and are subject to Open Path program requirements.

How to Begin Sliding-Scale Therapy Through Open Path

Sliding-scale services at BAHS Group are offered exclusively through the Open Path Psychotherapy Collective. BAHS Group does not offer separate or alternative sliding-scale or reduced-fee arrangements outside of this program.

To begin services, please follow the steps below:

1. Complete your Open Path Registration

   Register with the Open Path Psychotherapy Collective, which includes a one-time $65 membership fee paid directly to Open Path: https://openpathcollective.org/client/registration/

2. Confirm Your Open Path Membership

   Once registered, you will receive an Open Path Member ID. Please forward your Member ID to your therapist using the “Email this Therapist” link on my Open Path profile: https://openpathcollective.org/clinicians/stas-taylor/

3. Schedule Your Session

   After your Open Path membership is verified, you will be sent a scheduling link based on current availability. Sliding-scale rates are as follows:

   • Weekday daytime sessions: $60 per session

   • Evening telehealth sessions: $70 per session

   Payment is required at the time of booking and is processed securely through Stripe.

4. Complete BAHS Group Intake and Consent Forms

   After scheduling, you will need to complete BAHS Group’s Intake and Consent Forms. These must be completed in full for your appointment to be confirmed.

5. Activate Secure Messaging via Spruce

   Please activate Spruce, our HIPAA-compliant messaging portal. Spruce is used for secure communication with your provider and for receiving any questionnaires or materials before your session.

At BAHS Group, we believe meaningful therapy should be accessible—not just available. We are excited to offer reduced-fee therapy services through the Open Path Psychotherapy Collective, a national nonprofit dedicated to making mental health care more affordable.
