What is Therapy？
Cost and Insurance
Private Pay
Fees vary depending on the clinician's expertise, level of experience, and location. In California, the average session is $90-$125. For clients who are in a lower income bracket, some therapists may offer a sliding-fee scale. Therapy provided by an intern or a trainee under the supervision of a licensed clinician may be more affordable.
Insurance
Some insurance plans cover or reimburse for mental health care. Your insurance company may require you to see a therapist on its preferred provider network, or it may reimburse for an "out-of-plan" provider who is not on its list. Check with your insurance company about what your policy will cover.
