Pay-What-You-Can Therapy

To claim your 8 sessions of couples or family therapy fill out this inquiry form.

For a limited time (March-August 2026), through a collaboration with The Wellness Exchange, we are able to offer up to 8 sessions of relational therapy per couple/family for California residents. During this time period you may choose to accept the $0 cost therapy offer, or opt to "pay what you can" and choose a per session rate as low as $5 per session. 

This offer is limited to 25 couples/families at any given time, and if inquiries exceed this amount a waitlist will be started and new clients may start as soon as a previous client's 8 sessions have ended.

After your $0 cost / pay-what-you-can sessions are complete you will have the option of concluding therapy, or extending your sessions to continue with your clinician on a sliding scale basis.

All clients in the couple or family who participate must be in California, and all sessions are provided via telehealth by MFT Trainees and Associates supervised by  LMFT Mallory Garcia #120945.  

This particular $0 cost therapy program is designated for relational wellness, and so there must be at least 2 clients participating together in sessions.

One exception is therapy for teens (ages 12-17) with a parent consultation. If a teen would like to enroll in individual therapy this qualifies under the relational wellness program. The consultation will include the teen and parent, informed consents are signed by both teen and parent, and then the teen may attend sessions alone as often as they desire and invite parent as a guest occasionally if they would like. Schedule a teen therapy consultation here.

If you are seeking individual therapy for an adult, we are able to connect you with sliding scale therapy ranging from $5-$100 per session. Email Loryn@wellnessexchange.org to inquire about individual adult therapy.

Partnerships and families come in all shapes and sizes, and all are welcome to utilize this relational wellness therapy program. 

Relational wellness is a uniquely special aspect of our mental health, and essential to our individual wellbeing. In support of strengthening relationships, each couple or family is eligible to receive 8 free therapy sessions in any category below:

• Couples Therapy (pre-marital counseling)
• Couples Therapy (marriage counseling)
• Couples Discernment Counseling (conscious uncoupling, deciding to recommit or separate)
• Family Therapy (parents + children)
• Family Therapy (siblings together)
• Poly Relationship Counseling
• Multigenerational Family Therapy 
• Nontraditional Family Therapy (cousins, roommates, foster families)
• Individual Teen Therapy + Consultation with Caregiver (for clients ages 12-17)

If you are accepted into the relational wellness therapy program before the end of August 2026 your sessions will not expire and you can use them beyond August.

However there is a cancellation and no show policy in place: 

• Cancellation policy: once your 8 weekly sessions are scheduled you may cancel or reschedule up to 3 times with at least 24 hours notice without losing any sessions. 
• No show policy: late cancellations with less than 24 hours notice or missing appointments without communication results in a $30 cancellation charge for the first no show, and forfeiting of remaining sessions if there is a second no show. 

Communication is key, let your therapist know about any scheduling issues, and we can work with your schedule. For those who do not attend therapy regularly, your sessions will be forfeited to make space for the next family on the waitlist.
