What if I can't afford counseling
Sliding-fee discount
ABTS will not deny services based on patient’s inability to pay, race, color, sex, national origin, disability, religion, age, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
We are committed to make mental healthcare accessible to our community and provide counseling services regardless of our client’s ability to pay.

Do not let financial struggles prevent you from getting the help you need.
