How we determine fees for therapy

Sessions are $150 to $345 depending on the clinician. Couples sessions are $175 to $345. Several of our therapists are in network with Aetna. Superbills are available for other PPO plans.

Many people struggle with emotional pain, often for years, before they consider therapy. Whether it’s low self-worth, chronic anxiety, intimacy issues, or an overall sense of disconnection, therapy provides a path toward meaningful, lasting change.

If you’re wondering how much therapy costs in California, or if you’re searching for a therapist cost near me, know that the price of therapy is more than a number. It’s an investment in your well-being and long-term mental health.

Training and Experience

Prices usually reflect the experience and training of the clinician. More experience and training usually means greater confidence and assuredness in the therapist, which can put you at ease.

Availability

A therapist’s fee sometimes reflects the limits of their schedule. Therapists who have more availability are more often willing to lower their rate.

The right therapist determines your success

Therapy isn’t just about talking. It’s about connecting with a therapist who truly understands you. Research shows that connection with your therapist is the single biggest predictor of successful outcomes. If you want to reduce anxiety, improve relationships, or gain emotional clarity, finding the right therapist is essential.

And that’s why we prioritize fit over everything else. Your healing depends on it.

How we approach fees

Our fees are a reflection of market rates for the experience and specialization of our therapists.

We are confident that we can help you achieve lasting emotional relief through therapy, and that the strongest chance at doing that is with finding you the right therapist.

Many people waste money on a therapist who isn’t a good fit for them.

They don’t make progress on the goals they came in for. That usually happens because there’s pressure, early on, to choose a therapist based not on the client’s direct relationship with the therapist, but on logistical factors or guilt. Let us help you find the right therapist for you so you can make needed change.
