Online therapy pricing

On Thera, each session costs between 47 and 170 USD for 45 minutes. Every therapist sets their own rate, and you see it on their profile before you book. There are no additional fees, no sign-up costs and no long-term contracts.

How much does a session cost?

A 45-minute session costs 47-170 USD, depending on the therapist. The price you see on the therapist's profile is the price you pay. Prices mainly reflect where the therapist is based and the cost of living and practising there. They do not necessarily reflect experience. A therapist with 10 years of experience in one country may charge less than a newer therapist in another. So if budget matters, sort the directory by price and compare qualifications. You may find experienced therapists at the lower end of the range too.

Pay per session

Book and pay for one session at a time. This gives you full flexibility, and it is how most people start.

What is free

Help choosing a therapist. Message our team on WhatsApp and we will suggest therapists who may suit you.
A discovery call. Talk briefly with a therapist before your first paid session to see whether the fit feels right.
Your account. Creating a Thera account and browsing therapist profiles costs nothing.

How to pay

Payments are processed securely by PayPal. You do not need a PayPal account. At checkout, choose "Debit or Credit Card" or "Apple Pay" and pay as you would in any online shop. Prices are in US dollars. If your card is in another currency, your bank converts the amount at its own rate.

Cancellations and refunds

Free cancellation up to 24 hours before. You can cancel or reschedule any session, including sessions in a monthly plan, at no cost if you do so at least 24 hours in advance.
Late cancellations and missed sessions are charged in full, because your therapist has reserved that time for you.
Refunds go back to your original payment method within 14 days. If you live in the UK, the EU or another place with a legal cooling-off period, you can cancel within 14 days of purchase for a full refund, as long as no session has taken place.

Pricing questions

Answers to common questions about session fees, changing therapists and payment options.

Are there any additional charges when I book?

No. The rate on the therapist's profile is the price you pay at checkout.

Is a cheaper therapist less qualified?

Not necessarily. Prices mainly depend on where the therapist practises. Every therapist on Thera is licensed or registered, and Thera verifies their credentials. Compare qualifications and experience on each profile.

Can I request a free discovery call before booking?

Yes. You can request a free discovery call to ask about the therapist’s approach and decide whether you would like to book a session.

Do I need a PayPal account to pay?

No. Choose "Debit or Credit Card" or "Apple Pay" at checkout. If you have any trouble completing your payment, contact our team for help.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule my session?

You can cancel or reschedule your session at no cost at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the session and missed sessions are charged in full, as your therapist has reserved that time for you.
