III. What You Should Know About Phoenix Therapy

How are Phoenix therapists licensed?

To become licensed in Phoenix, therapists must earn an accredited master’s degree in counseling. They must then complete 3,200 hours of supervised work experience performing mental health duties, with half these hours involving direct client contact. Authorized supervisors include licensed professional counselors, psychiatrists, psychologists, marriage and family therapists, and clinical social workers but not substance abuse counselors. Therapists must take and pass the National Counselor Examination to become licensed.

How much does therapy cost in Phoenix?

A limited number of the listed therapists in Phoenix accept major insurance plans, and only a few offer sliding scale rates. However, many therapists provide a free initial consultation over the phone, usually for 15 to 30 minutes, to see if they’re a good fit for your mental health needs before you begin paying for services. Overall, you can expect to pay an average of $120 to $165 for each 50-minute to one-hour session.
