How does the cost of an in-person therapist compare to BetterHelp?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour.

  • With therapists: $100-300

An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing.
