SLIDING SCALE POLICY

Updated on September 19, 2024

This Sliding Scale Policy applies to information collected by Wayfinder LLC through www.wayfinderwichita.com (hereinafter referred to as "Wayfinder"). This policy applies solely to those accessing virtual Somatic Sessions through Wayfinder. While somatic sessions offer profound benefits—such as increasing body awareness, reducing stress, and supporting emotional regulation—they are not psychotherapy. These sessions focus on the body-mind connection and do not replace traditional psychotherapy for diagnosing or treating mental health conditions.
