III. What You Should Know About Detroit Therapy

How are Detroit therapists licensed?

In Detroit, therapy is often provided by those with an LPC or FMT license. The path to licensure typically includes a master’s degree in social work or counseling. After completing a degree program, those seeking a counseling license must complete at least 600 supervised hours of service in a clinical setting and two years of individual practice working under an already licensed counselor.

How much does therapy cost in Detroit?

Detroit therapists tend to charge between $96 to 134 per session. Session length can vary from about 40 minutes to just over an hour. Initial visit fees may be higher than the cost of repeat appointments. Many therapists accept a variety of insurance options, so the costs may not be entirely out-of-pocket.
