Finally tried therapy and liked it until I received my bill.
I’ve been holding therapy off for years and finally decided to really go for it this time around. Had some consultations over the last couple of months but never went through with it until now.
Had my first session last week and my therapist was a great fit and I really enjoyed my session. But I just received my bill and it was $180 for one session.
This is with putting down my insurance. No plan discount, no plan share, nothing. While I have a decent job right now, I just cannot justify the cost, especially on a weekly or even a bi-weekly basis. I’m so upset because I really did like my therapist and feel like she can help me. I’m just shocked. Is this price considered the norm? (In the tri-state area).
Funnily enough I’m trying to fight anxiety, and now I’m also anxious to break the news I cannot continue sessions with her.
