How much does therapy cost?

1 minute Mental Health Match Written by Mental Health Match Danielle McDowell, LPC Reviewed by Danielle McDowell, LPC Published 01/21/20

The cost for a therapy session depends on the therapist, the type of therapy being offered, whether you pay out of pocket, or have an insurance copay. 

Some therapists offer sliding scales, with affordable options of $40 to $50. Others, who might have specific training that took many years, may charge as much as $250 per session. 

No matter your price range, Mental Health Match can match you to therapists who are within your budget.
