The Green Bottle Sliding Scale
Making quality therapy accessible without losing integrity or transparency
At Roiya, we believe that healing should not be limited by income or circumstance.
The Green Bottle Sliding Scale is our way of keeping therapy accessible while honoring the real costs of running a high-quality, sustainable practice.
It’s inspired by the idea that a community thrives when resources flow, when those with more capacity help keep the bottle full for others who are still finding their footing.
Why “Green Bottle”?
Green symbolizes growth, renewal, and balance, the same values that guide our work. The bottle represents a shared container: a resource we fill together. Every time someone pays their full fee, they help keep space open for another client who needs temporary financial support. The system works because the bottle stays in motion, never empty, never owned by one person alone.
​
How It Works?
-
Limited Availability
Each Roiya clinician reserves a small number of sessions per week under the Green Bottle Sliding Scale. Because these spaces are limited, we prioritize applicants who are experiencing genuine financial constraints. -
Collaborative Conversation
During your intake process, you’ll discuss your circumstances privately with our intake coordinator. We’ll review factors such as income range, dependents, and financial responsibilities, but just as importantly, your capacity to sustain regular therapy. -
Three Tiers of Adjustment
The sliding scale typically offers a 10–40% reduction from the clinician’s standard rate, depending on need and availability. Adjustments are reviewed every 3–6 months to ensure the bottle remains balanced and accessible to others. -
Community Integrity
We trust clients to apply only if they truly need the support and to communicate openly if their financial situation changes. This honor-based model allows us to keep the program sustainable and fair. -
Same Quality of Care
All Green Bottle clients receive the same level of professional care, confidentiality, and access to Roiya’s experiential methods as any other client. The difference lies only in the fee, never in the quality of service.
​
Who It’s For?
The Green Bottle Sliding Scale is designed for:
-
Clients with limited or unstable income, including students, early-career professionals, or individuals between jobs.
-
Clients from marginalized or underserved communities who historically face barriers to accessing high-quality mental-health care.
-
Those facing temporary financial hardship while continuing an ongoing therapeutic relationship.
​
How to Apply
-
Mention interest in the Green Bottle program when completing your intake form or during your initial consultation.
-
Our intake team will provide a brief financial self-assessment form and discuss current availability.
-
Once approved, you’ll receive confirmation of your rate and renewal timeline.
Spaces are limited and reviewed on a quarterly basis. If all current spots are full, we can add you to our waitlist or connect you with trusted referral options in the community.
​
A Community Model for Sustainable Care
The Green Bottle is more than a discount. It is a community commitment.
By keeping the flow of resources transparent, we ensure that no one is turned away for financial reasons whenever space allows, and that clinicians can continue offering the time, attention, and skill each client deserves.
When the bottle is full, everyone benefits. When it is shared responsibly, everyone heals together.
