With ART, I can help you process distressing memories and emotional triggers in a gentle, accelerated way that many clients find effective when they’ve felt stuck for years. know reaching out for support can feel intimidating, especially if you’re used to being the strong one.

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

See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:
- With a psychiatrist: $150-$500
- With therapists: $100-300
- With a clinician: $100

Is BetterHelp right for me?
