What Factors Influence the Cost of Therapy?

Not all therapy sessions carry the same price tag. Key factors determining session fees include:

Therapist Credentials & Experience: Senior clinical psychologists and licensed psychotherapists with specialized certifications (e.g., CBT, DBT, EMDR) charge higher rates than early-career counselors.

Location: Clinics located in major commercial hubs in Dhaka (such as Dhanmondi, Gulshan, or Banani) generally have higher operating overheads, reflected in higher per-session pricing.

Format (In-Person vs. Online): Online sessions are often 15% to 30% lower in cost because they eliminate physical space maintenance.

Specialized Care: Specialized therapies—such as trauma-informed care, child behavioral therapy, or neuro-assessments—require specialized toolkits and longer consultation times.

How Many Sessions Will a Client Need?

One of the most common questions individuals ask before starting therapy is, “How many sessions will I need?” Because mental health care is personalized, there is no single number that applies to everyone. However, clinical evidence and outcome data provide clear patterns based on the severity of the concern and therapeutic goals.

Research indicates that around 50% of clients show meaningful clinical improvement within 4 to 8 sessions, while 75% achieve significant recovery after 12 to 20 sessions.
