How Much Is Therapy Without Insurance?
One less barrier to worry about, so you can focus on growth.
How much is therapy without insurance? And why it’s not just about the hour you are sitting on a couch.
When I hear people ask the question, “how much is therapy without insurance,” I also hear all the questions not being asked:
Is this going to be worth the money?
What is this therapist going to tell me that I already don’t know?
ChatGPT is cheaper.
This seems such a weighted question because the answer can be really simplified: How much am I willing to invest into my growth?
Key Takeaways:
Therapy without insurance is possible
Different factors can change the price for different therapists and their specific expertise
Therapy Hour & Co prices range from $90–120 for individuals and $120–150 for couples.
The price is only one factor; the guidance you need in order to follow through with change is far more valuable.
Therapy Cost Variables
The cost of therapy, especially without insurance, depends on a variety of factors like location, therapist credentials, individual vs couple, time frame, frequency, etc.
The rate for a therapy session varies based on the therapist you are choosing to work with. I’ve seen ranges from starting at $50 an hour to $300 for 45 mins. And yet the question remains: is this worth it and will anything really change?
Well, that’s also based on how much work you want to do and how intentional you are with that work.
Workout Dedication
For instance, I always use the example of personal training or workout classes.
I love me a good yoga class, pilates, even a step class to get me moving.
I show up for my training session or class, they show me what I’m doing for the workout class and I’m expected to follow along.
After finishing up with the trainer, they usually give me homework: workouts, nutrition, meal plan. I am also expected to do my work and follow-up.
When I haven’t done the homework, I would go back to the gym for my next session with my trainer and she would give me a good talking to; ultimately, holding me accountable for not following through and doing my part in this process I opted into.
This is the work you’re investing in: guidance, knowledge, connecting dots, and holding you accountable to make those lasting changes.
Beyond the “how,” I suppose the question is: is the $120 for the session worth the value of not spiraling that week, less anxiety, clarity in yourself or relationship, confident booster and a person to hold you accountable while also cheering you on.
