Aperta's Sliding Scale Fee Structure
The Green Bottle Model
Aperta's Fee Schedule
We believe everyone deserves access to mental health care, regardless of financial situation. Our three-tiered Green Bottle Model lets you choose the rate that best reflects your current resources:
Cost per 55 minute counseling session
-
$85 – Supports your care and helps subsidize others.
-
$65 – Covers the cost of your session.
-
$35 – A reduced rate for those with limited resources.
Choose the tier that feels right for you. Healing should never be out of reach. Please note, our clinicians' traditional fee schedule is $125-$175 per session.
Understanding the Green Bottle Sliding Scale Model
At Aperta Integrative Therapy & Wellness, we believe that healing should be accessible to everyone—regardless of financial circumstance. That’s why we’ve adopted the Green Bottle Sliding Scale Method, originally developed by Alexis J. Cunningfolk. This model is built on the principle of equitable access, inviting clients to choose the fee tier that best reflects their current financial reality.
Our sliding scale is more than just a pricing tool—it’s a values-driven framework that allows us to offer high-quality care while also supporting community wellness. By choosing the rate that’s appropriate for your situation, you help sustain this model and make it possible for others to access care.
How We Provide Quality Care At A Reduced Fee
At Aperta Integrative Therapy & Wellness, we are committed to making mental health care more accessible without compromising quality. We understand that affordability is a key barrier for many individuals seeking support, which is why we've intentionally structured our practice to keep overhead costs low—allowing us to pass those savings on to you.
One of the ways we do this is by utilizing HIPAA-compliant telehealth software, which enables us to offer secure, confidential care without the added expense of traditional office space. By eliminating high-cost leases, utility bills, and in-person infrastructure, we can focus our resources where they matter most: on your care.
This lean, modern approach allows us to:
-
Offer sliding scale fees for those with financial need
-
Maintain high clinical standards through ongoing training and supervision
-
Ensure convenient, flexible access to therapy from wherever you are
-
Prioritize client privacy, safety, and comfort
Our goal is to remove barriers to healing, not add to them. We believe that access to meaningful mental health care shouldn't depend on how much you can pay or where you live—and we've built our model with that vision at the core.
