The cost of therapy in Maryland can vary depending on the provider’s credentials, session length, and whether you’re using insurance. On average, private-pay sessions typically range from $125 to $200 per session. At Joining with Empathy, we aim to make therapy as accessible as possible. We accept many insurance plans, offer self-pay rates, and can provide guidance on out-of-network reimbursement if needed.
The terms therapist and counselor are often used interchangeably, and both refer to trained mental health professionals who provide support through talk therapy. The main difference usually comes down to training and focus:
Therapists may include licensed clinical social workers, psychologists, or marriage and family therapists, often with a broader scope of training in mental health conditions and treatment approaches.
Counselors typically focus on specific challenges, like life transitions, stress, or career issues, and may provide more short-term or solution-focused support.
At Joining with Empathy, our clinicians bring expertise across both areas. We focus less on labels and more on making sure you receive compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to your needs.
