Green Bottle Method

The Green Bottle Method is the framework I use to offer a small number of reduced-rate therapy spots within my practice.

Rather than using a traditional sliding scale where every client pays a different amount based solely on income, the Green Bottle Method uses three tiers. Each tier represents a different level of financial contribution, allowing clients with different circumstances to participate at a rate that feels both accessible and sustainable.

How the tiers work

The three tiers are designed to create flexibility while maintaining the sustainability of reduced-rate spots.

Your assigned tier is based on which "bottle" shown in the image below best describes your current financial situation. The goal is not to determine whether you are "deserving" of a reduced rate. It is simply a way to make these limited spots available in a consistent and equitable way.

Reduced-rate spots are limited, and availability is based on the number of spots currently available in the practice.

If you are offered a reduced-rate spot, the specific rate and terms will be outlined in your Financial Equity & Sliding Scale Agreement before you begin services.
