How does the cost of in-person sessions with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp?

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

  • With a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • With therapists: $100-300
  • With a clinician: $100

Is mental health care and therapy worth it?

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives.

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