III. What You Should Know About New York City Therapy

How are New York City therapists licensed?

Therapists in New York are licensed through the Board of Mental Health Practitioners. To become a licensed mental health counselor, prospective therapists must obtain a master’s or doctoral degree and complete the New York counselor training program. In addition to completing 3,000 hours of supervised practice, they must pass the National Clinical Mental Health Counseling Exam (NCMHCE).

How much does therapy cost in New York City?

A few therapists in New York City accept major insurance plans to cover the cost of counseling sessions. Without insurance coverage, you can expect to pay an average of $216 per session in NYC, although some therapists may offer sessions for $100 or less. Certain counselors provide a free initial consultation to evaluate your issues and determine if you are a good fit for each other. Many therapists will offer a sliding scale fee adjustment if you can’t afford treatment. This service may not be advertised on their website, so it’s worthwhile to ask. Understanding the cost of therapy treatments upfront can help you avoid any surprises down the road.
