What is the Average Cost for Couples Therapy?
An average cost of couples therapy changes dramatically when considering the ultra rich. People who can afford to pay $700 for a session with television therapist, Dr. Orna Guralnik, from the show Couples Therapy are not the average American. There are couples therapists in Palo Alto that are currently charging $550 per session. These are extremely expensive and effect the average cost of couples counseling dramatically.
Keep in mind, that couples therapy is a long term commitment, where you’re expected to meet weekly. You can imagine how the session rates for the ultra rich can accumulate to huge costs per month.
When not considering the ultra rich, the average session for couples counseling is much lower, but can still be a difficult commitment on a weekly basis. Make a commitment with a couples therapist you find beneficial first, after time if you feel your rate is too high, talk with your therapist honestly to negotiate. Therapists are more willing to offer lower rates once they know you’ve made commitment to the work.
