How to Pay for Treatment

How Much Will Therapy Cost?
The cost of treatment depends on many factors including: the type of treatment, the therapist’s training, where treatment takes place and your insurance coverage. The following is a description of typical treatment costs:

·          Community Mental Health Center - Fees are determined on a sliding scale based on personal income and medical expenses. Fees range from $5 to $50 per hour. Families covered by medical assistance pay no fee.

·          Private Clinics - Established fees range from $50 to $100. Some non-profit agencies have a sliding scale system which may qualify individuals for a lower rate. Fees for group therapy may be lower than for individual therapy.

·          Private Therapist - Fees generally range from $60 to $125 per hour. Rates for psychologists and psychiatrists are higher than rates for social workers, counselors and psychiatric nurses.
