Questions about couples therapy in San Diego

How much does couples therapy cost in San Diego?

Among the 6 verified therapists here who list a fee, session prices range from $80 to $250. Fees change, so confirm the current rate and any sliding-scale options with the therapist.

Can we do couples therapy online in California?

Yes. 38 of the 44 verified therapists in San Diego offer online sessions. A therapist can generally only see clients online while those clients are located in a state where the therapist is licensed, so both partners should be in California (or another state where the therapist holds a license) during sessions.
