Sliding Scale Therapy: A Relational Exchange
The Relational Life Foundation is built on a simple truth: relational skills should not be a luxury. At the same time, learning to practice Relational Life Therapy happens best in real relationship, with real people, and real stakes. This program exists at the intersection of both.
If you are studying RLT and have completed Practicum 1, this is an opportunity to deepen your skills, grow your confidence, and build your practice while expanding access to relational care for people who might otherwise be priced out of therapy or coaching.
What to expect
How It Works
Practitioners are personally matched with qualified clients who are seeking relational support. Clients begin with a 15–20 minute complimentary consultation, then commit to five sessions by making a sliding scale payment to the Relational Life Foundation. This structure allows clients to receive meaningful care, supports your development of RLT skills, and supports the broader mission of access and community healing.
After the five sessions, you and the client decide together if, and how, you would like to continue working together, and on what terms. The relationship moves forward by mutual consent, not obligation.
Why Participate
By participating, you are doing more than accruing hours or gaining experience. You are helping normalize relational skill-building outside of elite or high-cost spaces, contributing to a more diverse and inclusive RLT community, and strengthening your practice while actively participating in a system of shared care.
All payments received through this program go toward supporting our various programs including practitioner scholarships and research.
