COACHING FEES

Coaching Fees & Pricing

Transparent about what things cost. Honest about how we make them work.

THIS IS AN INVESTMENT

This is an investment.

Not in the sense that it sounds expensive and needs justification. In the actual sense: what happens in this work compounds. The patterns you shift, the capacity you build, the relationship you develop with your own nervous system: these don’t depreciate. They grow with use.

That said, money is real and access matters. This page exists to be transparent about what things cost and honest about how we make them work across different financial realities.

Sliding scale and sponsorship are available. If the listed rate isn’t workable, reach out. You don’t need to make a case for your worthiness. We’ll talk honestly about what’s possible.

ON SLIDING SCALE AND ACCESS

The sliding scale exists because nervous system work should not be available only to people with disposable income.

Full stop.

Sliding scale rates are available for 1:1 coaching and Affinity Circles. Community sponsorships are also available: if you’re in a position to pay above the standard rate, you can contribute toward covering the cost for someone who can’t. You pay a little more, someone else pays a little less, and the work stays accessible.

If you need sponsored access, or want to contribute to it, reach out directly. No explanation required beyond what you’re comfortable sharing.

PAYMENT PLANS

Package fees can be split into monthly payments at no additional cost.

If you want the 4 or 8 session package but need to spread the payments, reach out and we’ll set something up before your first session.

Payment plans are for packages only. Single sessions and the Pathfinder Intensive are paid at time of booking.

A NOTE ON INSURANCE

Coaching cannot be billed to insurance.

Affinity Pathfinder is a coaching practice, not a therapy practice. Coaching sessions cannot be billed to insurance and are not eligible for FSA or HSA reimbursement.

Worth naming clearly: coaching and therapy serve different needs and operate under different frameworks. Because coaching is not billed through insurance, there is no insurance authorization or insurance-based treatment plan involved in our work together. The focus is on patterns, capacity, and forward movement rather than diagnosis or clinical treatment.

Coaching is not a substitute for therapy when therapy is what’s needed. If you’re looking for licensed therapy that bills insurance, Affinity Counseling of Colorado is Erica’s separate therapy practice serving Colorado residents.

If you’re unsure whether coaching or therapy is the right fit, the free consultation is a good place to start that conversation.

Money conversations don’t have to be uncomfortable. I’d rather talk through your situation than have cost be the reason you don’t reach out.
