Relationships Deserve Support—Even on a Budget

You want help for your relationship—but most couples therapy feels out of reach. The cost adds up quickly, especially if you’re attending weekly or bi-weekly sessions. And when you’re already feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure if things can improve, the last thing you need is a financial barrier standing in your way.

That’s where we come in.

At Sagebrush Counseling, we believe every couple deserves access to meaningful, expert support—no matter your financial situation.

Sliding Scale Couples Therapy with Sagebrush Counseling

We hold a limited number of sliding scale spots each month for couples in Texas who are ready to do the work—without draining their bank account.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Sliding scale rates: $75–$100 per session (based on availability)

• Online sessions: HIPAA-compliant and accessible anywhere in Texas

• Evening and weekend appointments: Flexible scheduling to fit your life

• No waitlist: We keep space open so you can start as soon as you're ready

• Specialties: Infidelity, emotional disconnection, intimacy issues, neurodivergence, and premarital counseling

You don’t have to go it alone—and you don’t have to go broke.

If Our Sliding Scale Is Full, We’ll Still Help You Find Support

We understand that sliding scale spots are limited, and not every therapist is the right fit. If we’re not available or the timing isn’t right, we can still point you in the right direction.

We’ve compiled a list of low-cost and nonprofit couples therapy options across Texas, including:

• University training clinics (often $20–$50 per session)

• Nonprofits and community organizations that offer reduced-cost care

• Faith-based centers that welcome couples regardless of religious affiliation

You’ll find affordable options in Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso, Fort Worth, Corpus Christi, Lubbock, Amarillo, and the Rio Grande Valley.

Need the list? Just let us know and we’ll send it to you.

Therapy Shouldn’t Feel Out of Reach

You don’t have to keep putting your relationship on hold because therapy feels unaffordable. Whether you book with us or connect through a referral, support is available—and your relationship is worth that.

We’re here to help you reconnect, rebuild trust, and find your way back to each other.

Frequently Asked Questions About Affordable Couples Therapy

Do we need to qualify for the sliding scale?

Our sliding scale is designed for couples who genuinely need financial flexibility to access care. We don’t require income verification, but we ask that you reach out and let us know your situation. We’ll always be upfront about what’s available and what might be a good fit.

How do I know if a sliding scale spot is open?

The best way to contact us is by email or phone. These spots are limited and filled on a first-come, first-served basis. If we don’t have current openings, we’re happy to refer you to other affordable counseling options in Texas.

How long will we stay on the sliding scale?

We typically revisit sliding scale arrangements every few months. Some couples remain on the same rate, while others gradually shift based on financial changes. We’ll talk about it together—no surprises.

What if we need therapy but can’t even afford the sliding scale?

We get it. That’s why we’ve created a list of local organizations, training clinics, and nonprofits that offer free or very low-cost couples therapy. If we can’t help directly, we’ll still help you find support.

Do you offer in-person therapy?

All of our sessions are offered online through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. This allows us to offer accessible, flexible care to couples across the entire state of Texas, including small towns and rural areas.

Can we use insurance?

We are a private-pay practice and do not bill insurance directly. That said, many clients prefer this because it allows for more privacy, no required diagnosis, and greater flexibility. If you’d like a receipt to submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement, we’re happy to provide one.

Is this therapy just for married couples?

Not at all. We work with couples at all stages—dating, engaged, co-parenting, long-term partnerships, and those navigating separation or divorce. The work is about your dynamic, not your status.
