How much can I expect to pay for each session of marriage counseling?

I know this is hard to come up with- but how much have some people paid? What's normal, etc?How much can I expect to pay for each session of marriage counseling?
Hi Lauren,





Professional relationship counseling, with a licensed marriage and family therapist can cost a minimum of about $75 and some are $160 an hour and more.





Therapists working on their licenses, who are educated and well trained can cost between $60-$80. These are called resident counselors.





If, like most people, you are a little strapped for cash, you can also possibly go to graduate schools in your area. Look up a master's level or graduate school in your town, call them, ask if they have a counseling department, and ask what is involved. Sometimes they are free or at least at a reduced cost. Often times you can go to many churches and take relationship classes for free. Some of the larger churches might have free counseling, but they may be a little hard to find. Call the larger ones. They most likely will have no problem if you do not subscribe to all of their beliefs.





Finally, you can also do relationship counseling via the internet and phone. There are many who offer online premarital inventories/assessments and then a phone consultation with your partner and you. These can start at $20 and go up to $100 and $200 or so. See source below...





Good luckHow much can I expect to pay for each session of marriage counseling?
If you have insurance your copay 10-50 dollars a session if not $75 to 150 a session.
If you are smart then you will not pay anything....Worthless......
