Investment & Sliding Scale

I believe that healing should be accessible, and I recognize that our financial realities are shaped by systemic privilege and inequity. To reflect this, I utilize a sliding scale model inspired by the Green Bottle Method (developed by Alexis J. Cunningfolk).

I trust you to self-select the tier that best aligns with your current financial reality. I do not require documentation or justification. When you choose a tier that reflects your true ability to pay, you help sustain my practice and ensure that I can continue providing lower-cost sessions for those who truly need them.

Redistribution

$250 for individual therapy and $270 for relationship therapy (or the left bottle), for those who could afford to pay more to help me create more sliding scale spots:

  • I can easily cover all my essential expenses, including food, housing, and transportation, without financial strain. Any financial stress I experience is unrelated to meeting these basic needs.

  • Any debt I have does not prevent me from covering essentials.

  • I have stable employment, or I am a stay-at-home caregiver by choice with a partner who is securely employed, or I do not need to work to maintain my lifestyle.

  • I live in a home that is comfortable, well-equipped, and spacious enough for my needs.

  • I own or lease a car and have the option to replace it with a newer model every few years if I choose.

  • I have reliable access to healthcare whenever necessary.

  • I maintain savings that I can draw from when needed.

  • I can purchase new items as desired.

  • I generally have extra income to spend on luxuries and indulgences.

  • I’m typically able to choose higher-quality or premium products when I prefer them.

My Full Fee

$200 for individual therapy and $220 for relationship therapy (or the middle bottle):

  • Financially, I consistently cover my basic needs, including food, housing, and transportation, with ease. Any financial stress I experience is typically unrelated to these essentials.

  • Any debt I have does not interfere with meeting my basic needs.

  • I have stable employment, or I am a stay-at-home caregiver who chooses not to work outside the home, supported by a partner with steady employment.

  • I live in a home that is comfortable, adequately spacious, and equipped with modern amenities.

  • I own or lease a vehicle and can afford its upkeep, or I have chosen a car-free lifestyle.

  • I generally have access to healthcare when I need it.

  • I might have some savings available to use during times of financial need.
    I can often buy new items, although larger purchases may require some planning.

  • I occasionally have discretionary income, allowing me to enjoy small luxuries or indulgences each month.

  • With planning, I can take a vacation every year or two.

Solidarity

sliding scale spots ($140-$185.5) based on availability (or the right bottle):

  • Financially, I often struggle to meet my basic needs, such as food, housing, and transportation, and I frequently feel stress about covering these essentials.
    I may have debt that occasionally prevents me from meeting these needs.

  • I am unemployed, underemployed, or concerned about my income or the stability of my job.

  • My housing situation may lack space, comfort, modern conveniences, or stability.

  • I do not own a car by choice, have limited access to one, or cannot consistently afford gas.

  • I do not always have access to the healthcare services I need.

  • I lack savings to rely on when funds are low.

  • I seldom buy new items and often have to go without.

  • Discretionary income for indulgences, like new clothes or entertainment, is not typically available to me.

  • Vacations are generally unaffordable, and taking time off work is a financial strain or poses a risk to my job security.

  • I qualify for and may rely on some form of public assistance.
