Low-cost/sliding-fee counseling services

Unless otherwise noted, most of the listed agencies provide services on a “sliding fee scale”, which slides according to income, in some cases down to $0. ÌýMany of the agencies do take insurance, and if you are income-eligible, will work with you to apply for government health care programs that will cover the costs of counseling (such as MA and Minnesota Care). ÌýSome programs provide services based on the county where you live.Ìý For information about whether you may qualify for Medical Assistance (which fully covers outpatient mental health appointments) or MNCare, contact a free service that supports Minnesotans in signing up for free or reduced-cost insurance.
