I pay out of pocket, approximately US$120 per 45-minute session. If I'd gone through the health care system rather than seeking out a T in private practice I might have got a much cheaper option but I would probably have had to wait for a long, long time. And my experiences from 10 years ago when I tried to get psych help through the system were really bad, and I just couldn't face going through that again. I could probably get my workplace to pay for at least part of the treatment but I don't want to get them involved. If I'd managed to get my GP to refer me to a psychotherapist I would also have gotten normal health care prices ($15 or so per session) but I'm not sure I could talk him into doing that, and again I have no idea what kind of a therapist I would have ended up with.
