How Much Does It Cost To See A Therapist?

They usually charge by the hour, and my last one was ridiculous without insurance she was like $90 for a half hour session, so call around and see what they charge in your area... Go with your gut feeling if you don't like the first one you go to see someone else sometimes that's what you have to do to find a good one.

It all depends on what type of therapist you select, i.e. An L.C.S.W., L.P.C will generally cost about $100.00 for 50 minutes, whereas a psychiatrist will cost approx. 90.00 for 15 minutes of medication management. These prices exclude insurance benefits. So, if you have insurance, call your insurance company first and see what % they will cover, and what out of pocket expense you are responsible for paying. If you already know someone who can recommend a good therapist, ask for a referral. If you don't "connect" after a few visits, try someone else, as it is so important to find someone you can be totally honest with.

The going rate is 80-100 without insurance, but you can call offices and get rates if you are interested in a few specifically.
