I know all therapist vary in price but how much is the average u think for a good ocd therapist? Also, how many sessions are there usually? I am struggling with hocd.

I pay $60 per session. Either once a week or every other.

Call the therapist you intend on seeing and ask if they offer a sliding scale. It’s essentially where even though they have a certain price, they will work with you to accommodate you so that money isn’t a barrier to treatment. As far as I know (with no personal experience with sliding scales), this is only a thing without insurance. With insurance, whatever your copay usually is for dr appointments will be what you pay (for me, $30). The amount of sessions varies depending on the therapist and your individual needs, but if you can only afford an appointment once in a while than I would still say that’s much better than nothing, as most of recovery happens outside of the therapist’s office anyways. Good luck and I hope you find someone who can help you feel better

Depends on your severity too. But I think seeing someone once a week is on the low scale if it is severe and you just start out so if you can afford it and have found someone you click with and who gives you the tough love you need to do ERP, to do it intensely in the beginning. I don't know what that means for you, but I'd say 3 times a week to get started maybe? Just to start because the beginning is the hardest for everyone and you are gonna need the sessions then probably. I'd make it less after a few weeks or so and also if you do not see results over 2 weeks make sure to give your therapist feedback and figure it out together. Going on with something that doesn't work is something many of us have done (talk therapy is something I had done for years when it is not effective) and it only gets you more hopeless and frustrated. So don't let things like that go on for months okay? Take care of yourself!

My experiences in NC USA are the ones I saw that were super helpful didn’t take any insurance so they were around 100 dollars a session

I’ve mostly lived in cities with a high cost of living so the fees have ranged from $100-200/hr. Sessions are usually once a week for one hour. And they’re usually out of network for me, so my insurance doesn’t kick in until I’ve met a really high deductible. It sucks, but I prioritize treatment as much as possible with my budget. Sometimes you have to save up, sometimes you have to put it on a credit card, sometimes they’ll work with you on a sliding scale or offer a payment plan.
