Understanding Therapy Costs by Clinician Level:
- Fully Licensed Professionals (LPC, LCSW, LMFT): Our current rate for individual therapy sessions with fully licensed therapists is set at $120 per session. Nationally, these sessions typically range from $90 to $200. These clinicians have completed extensive training, supervision, and state licensure requirements.
- Provisional/Associate-Level Clinicians (LPC Associate, LMSW, LMFT Associate): Our current rate for sessions with provisional or associate-level therapists is set at $95 per session. Nationally, the average cost for these sessions ranges from $65 to $120. These clinicians are highly skilled, have completed their master's degrees, and are working under the direct supervision of a fully licensed professional as they accumulate hours towards full licensure.
- Student Interns: Sessions with student interns, who are gaining practical experience under close supervision, typically range from $0 to $85 per session. This provides an affordable entry point for therapy while ensuring high-quality care through rigorous oversight.
