Collete,
My psych charges $125 per session. With my insurance, I pay about half that. I recently lost my job so now I'll have to pay the full amount. Because of our good relationship I feel like it's worth it. $182 sounds a little high, but that could be because of your geographical location and the availability of psych doctors in your area. I live in California, so like Stabucks, there seems like there's a Psych every 10 blocks... :)
I hope this helps and welcome to the board!

> I hope this question isn't inappropriate. I am new here. My insurance pays nothing for mental health so consequently my initial visit with a psych cost me $182. I was told that followup visits will cost the same. I can afford these rates so asking him for some sort of break wouldn't fly, but still the cost of seeing him AND paying for the meds is pretty high. Does his rate seem inline with the cost of seeing a psychiatrist? Thank you, Collette
