Meet Our Interns at Lantern Lane Farm Counseling
Lantern Lane Farm Counseling will work with clients to arrange a plan based on ability to pay; therefore, we use a "sliding-scale" as an objective measure to determine your rate. Where you fall on the scale is based on your total household income and the number of dependents in your home.
Please contact us to inquire about the availability of Counseling Students/Interns by emailing info@lanternlanefarm.org or by calling 615.973.5454.
