This is a special year that has endangered certainties, jobs and habits, from the simple act of sharing time to carefree mobility through the streets and the world. Circumstances that have led to 2020 being the year of the online therapy boom. For this reason, the Mundopsicologos.com price observatory has prepared a study based on internal data, to analyze the evolution of online therapy hourly rates at both regional and provincial levels.
In light of the research carried out, it seems that in Spain the average cost of a session with a psychologist is 51.00 euros/hour, between a rate of 45.25 euros/hour in Andalusia and 62.00 euros/hour in Balearics. Surprisingly, neither Madrid nor Barcelona enter the top 10 of the most expensive cities.
Asturias, the autonomous community with the cheapest rate
Asturias is the one that wins the highest position on the podium of the communities where it is cheaper to start therapy, with a rate of 45.00 euros/hour. Andalusia follows with 45.25 euros/hour and Castilla y León and La Rioja tie in third position, with an average price of 45.50 euros/hour.
