Poll: How Much Do You Charge For A Therapy Session?

Are you unsure about how much to charge for psychotherapy in private practice? I've blogged recently about signs it's time to raise your fees and how to talk to your clients about raising your fees, but what about setting your fees in the first place?

One thing to consider in setting your psychotherapy rates is what other therapists with equal experience and training are charging. While average fees vary greatly depending on your location, your degree, level of experience, and many other factors, I thought it would be fun to poll who read this blog so you can see where you fall on the continuum to give you a general sense of what other therapists are charging.

Do you want to know how your fees compare to other private practice mental health therapists? Take this poll. What's your fee for a 45-50 min. therapy session?

Are you surprised by the results of this survey? Where do your fees fall on this continuum?

Feel free to post your comments and questions below! If you know other mental health therapist's in private practice, please share this poll with them. (c) Can Stock Photo

  • If you're not familiar with Facebook groups, you'll have to join as your personal profile. Unfortunately, at this point you can't participate as your Facebook practice page.
  • Your posts in the group will not show up in your other Facebook friend's newsfeeds, even though it may show up on your feed.
  • As you get to know other therapists in the Facebook group it's OK to be selective in who you add as a "friend" to your personal profile. There's no pressure to add anyone in the group as a "friend" on your personal profile.
  • My goal in creating the group is to have a fun and supportive forum to share ideas with each other in a more dynamic way than just through blog comments.
  • I'll post articles from this Private Practice Toolbox blog in the Facebook group so we can discuss them. Feel free to post helpful practice building resources that you find with the group, too.

I'm looking forward to talking with you! So, what are you waiting for?

See you in the Private Practice Toolbox Facebook Group
