8 Questions To Ask When Deciding On The Right Therapist (5 of 5)

How much would the therapy cost?

It is important to be aware that the cost of therapy can vary greatly, and can depend on such things as your mental health needs, the type of therapy you are receiving, and the therapist’s pricing structure. If the fees are beyond your budget, check with the therapist to see what your options are. Many of them are open to discussing sliding scale options, especially if you’re experiencing financial hardship. If a therapist’s rates are still out of reach, you would have nothing to lose by asking whether they’d be willing to accept a reduced fee or refer you to more affordable resources.
