Psychotherapy is a service offered by psychologists, counsellors and social workers. Psychotherapy is the treatment of mental health issues with the help of a trained professional. You can use psychotherapy to resolve deep-rooted problems or painful memories that might be causing you difficulties in your day-to-day life. Psychotherapy sessions can help you to work through your problems in a safe environment where it’s okay for you to share how you feel without being judged or criticised.

How much does it cost to see a psychologist?

The cost of seeing a psychologist can vary quite a bit, depending on how many sessions you need. There are two main models for pricing:

• Session-based. Most psychologists charge between $100 and $200 per session, with some charging less or more depending on their level of experience. This is the best option if you have an ongoing condition that requires regular check-ins with your therapist.
• Flat fee or retainer agreement. Some therapists will offer flat rates for the first few sessions so that they can get to know you and help determine what kind of treatment would be best for your situation—which may then lead to more session-based billing afterwards if needed. You might also see offers online where they’ll say something like “pay only once!” This means that all future sessions will be billed together as one lump sum per month (rather than each time individually). The benefit here is convenience; the downside is paying extra money upfront without knowing how much longer those funds will last in case things change later down the road due to unforeseen circumstances.”
