Our clinic is designed to give you access to the same effective treatment methods as our regular clinic, but with the added benefit of working with advanced students in the field who are closely supervised by our experienced clinicians.

  • Our Student Clinic will utilize the Green Bottle Tiered Payment Plan which is designed to make services accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. When you come to the Student Clinic, you can choose your payment level based on what works for you—no questions asked. We ask you to be honest and mindful when selecting the amount you can afford. Your payment will help support the continued operations of the clinic and the development of future clinicians while providing you with high quality care.

Learn More About the Green Bottle Tiered Payment Plan

At DBT Network of Utah, we believe that everyone should have access to high-quality psychiatric services, regardless of their financial situation. The Green Bottle Tiered Payment Plan was created by Alexis J. Gunningfolk as an economic justice tool to enable people to adjust what they pay based on their access to resources. It ensures that you can receive the care you need while paying what you can afford. Whether you're seeking individual therapy or comprehensive DBT services, our tiered payment structure makes treatment more accessible, with no questions asked.

  • The Green Bottle Tiered Payment Plan allows you to choose your payment based on your financial situation, with multiple options to fit your needs. The goal is to make sure that you receive high-quality, DBT-informed therapy at a price that works for you. We ask that you be honest when selecting your payment level, as this will help ensure that we can continue offering affordable services to everyone. Please be mindful that if you choose a price tier at the lowest end of the scale when you can truthfully afford the higher fee, you are limiting access to those who truly need the lowest tier prices.

    1. Assess Your Financial Situation: Consider your income, expenses, and what you can afford for therapy services.

    2. Choose Your Tier: Our payment tiers are structured to offer flexible pricing options. Select the tier that aligns with your financial situation.

    3. No Questions Asked: We trust you to choose the amount that feels right for you. There is no need to provide any documentation or justification for your decision.

    • Affordability: The Green Bottle Tiered Payment Plan ensures that DBT therapy is affordable for more people, regardless of income.

    • Accessibility: By choosing your payment level, you can make therapy work for you, without financial strain.

    • Support for Future Clinicians: Your payment helps support the training and development of future mental health professionals, making it a win-win situation for both you and the next generation of clinicians. 

    • No Insurance Required: We do not require or bill insurance for services in our student clinic. You pay based on your chosen tier.

    • Decide on Your Tier: You get to choose which payment tier best fits your financial situation. 

    • Flexible Payments: If your financial situation changes, you can adjust your payment tier for future services. Just notify your provider and the new tier will apply moving forward.

    • No Documentation Needed: You do not need to provide financial documentation or proof of income. We trust you to choose the tier that feels fair and sustainable for you.

    • Payment Due at the Time of Service: Payment for each session is due at the time of service, based on the tier you've selected. This allows you to pay on a per-session basis, with no upfront or hidden fees.

    • Convenient Payment Options: We accept payments via credit card or debit card, which can be securely kept on file for easy processing at the time of service. This allows for seamless, hassle-free payments after each session.

  • The Green Bottle Tiered Payment Plan is only available if you are working with a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Student or Social Work Student in our Student Clinic. Our student clinicians are under close supervision from licensed professionals, providing high-quality care at a fraction of the cost. If you’re interested in using the Green Bottle Plan, you must first be enrolled in our Student Clinic, where you’ll receive the same effective therapy as in our full clinic, but at a price you can afford.

    We’re committed to making DBT therapy accessible to as many people as possible, and the Green Bottle Tiered Payment Plan is one way we can give people the chance to receive the services they need.  Please be honest with yourself about what you can afford. The Green Bottle Plan is designed to be flexible and supportive for everyone.

The Payment Tiers

  • Tier 1

    The lowest price for those with limited financial resources. This tier reflects an honest acknowledgment that there are folks whose economic circumstances would prevent them from being able to access services if there was not a deliberate opportunity made for them to access services at a cost that is reflective of their economic realities. If you struggle to maintain access to needs such as health care, housing, food, child care, and are living paycheck to paycheck or are in significant debt, you likely belong here.

  • Tier 2

    A middle price tier for those who can pay more but still need some financial flexibility. If you are struggling to conquer debt or move away from paycheck to paycheck living but have access to steady income and are not spending most of your time thinking about meeting basic needs such as food, shelter, medical care, child care, etc., you belong here. If you, however, can ask others for financial support, such as family members, partners, or friends, please consider using those personal resources to pay for Tier 3.

  • Tier 3

    The highest tier for those who are able to contribute at a higher rate to support the clinic’s mission and sustainability. This tier reflects the full cost of services. If you have access to financial security, own property or have personal savings, you would not traditionally qualify for sliding scale services. If you are able to pay for "wants" and spend little time worrying about securing necessities in your life, this price is likely for you.
