Therapy Fee Kit (2026)
Therapists undercharge for reasons that have nothing to do with markets and everything to do with guilt. This kit is the working math and the exact words.
What you get
- Setting the fee: the floor from your own economics, the market check, and a fee statement that lands flat and warm
- A sliding scale structure with a fixed number of spots, a floor and a review cycle
- Raising the fee: a decision checklist, the sixty day notice letter and a grandfathering paragraph
- A three move script for the client who objects
- A five page guide plus editable Word letters
Who it is for
Therapists in private practice setting or raising their fees.
How it works
Setting the fee: the floor from your own economics, the market check done as a range rather than a verdict, and why the bottom of the range is a position, not a humble default. The fee statement, worded so it lands flat and warm, without the cushioning words that invite negotiation of a thing you already decided. A sliding scale structure with a fixed number of spots, a floor, and a review cycle, which is what lets you say yes generously and no cleanly.
Raising the fee: the decision checklist, the sixty day letter that gives real notice without groveling, the grandfathering paragraph for clients mid-work, and the three move script for the client who objects: acknowledge without retreating, hold the decision, open the real options. Plus the warning most kits skip, that contracted insurance rates do not move by letter, only by renegotiating with the payer.
Format
Five page printable PDF guide plus editable Word letters, with a printable PDF set of the same: the rate change letter, new client fee statement, sliding scale policy skeleton, and grandfathering note.
A business practices resource. Notice rules, payer contracts, and your ethics code govern where they apply; not legal or financial advice.
