Animal-assisted therapy<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nThe price of each therapy type depends on where you live and how many therapists are available near you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How Much Are Therapists with and without Insurance?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The cost of therapy differs depending on your insurance plan. Many people have health insurance plans that cover at least part of the cost of therapy. Your exact copay (the portion of the therapy fee you\u2019re responsible for) depends on your plan\u2019s benefits. But by law, employer-sponsored insurance plans must offer mental health benefits comparable to their medical health benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talk to your insurance provider to determine how much your copay is for mental health visits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you don\u2019t have insurance or your insurance plan doesn\u2019t cover therapy (for example, if you have a high deductible), seeing a therapist through traditional avenues can be expensive. Typically, if you see a therapist without insurance, you\u2019re responsible for 100% of their fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How Much Does Therapy Cost In-Person vs Virtually?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Typically, there\u2019s no significant difference between the cost of in-person and virtual therapy sessions. According to our research, you can expect to pay between $100 to $250+ per session for either. However, it\u2019s notable that there is no need to travel for virtual sessions, which can help save on your costs for gas and time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to Pay for Therapy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There are many ways to pay for therapy. Most people choose to pay privately or through insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Private Pay<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If you go the private pay route, you pay the therapist\u2019s full fee using your own money. Some of the benefits of paying privately are having no limits to the number of sessions, getting access to a wider selection of therapists, and freedom from the mandatory diagnoses many insurance companies require to cover therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Insurance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Many people use their insurance plans to pay for therapy. Most insurance plans cover mental health services to some extent, but your copay will depend on your policy. Insurance can make therapy more affordable but can also place limitations on which therapists you can work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most licensed therapists charge between $100 to $250 per session, so $100 is about the average for therapy. This doesn\u2019t mean that it\u2019s not a lot for you<\/em>. With Klarity, follow-up sessions are much less costly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When, exactly, you pay for therapy varies between therapists. Some therapists will send you (or your insurance company) a bill or invoice after your sessions, while others prefer you to pay upfront.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
