Compensation: $65–$85/hr (for all time spent working, not just for sessions)

Most therapists in private practice bill $120–$150/hr on paper, but that rate covers unpaid hours spent writing notes, chasing referrals, managing billing, marketing themselves, and running a small business (largely alone). When you do the math, the effective hourly rate is often much lower.

At SideBy Care, your hourly rate covers

• Sessions with clients
• Documentation time (notes, treatment planning)
• Specialized training in a fast-growing, evidence-based field
• Team collaboration with GI dietitians and medical providers
• Client communications between sessions

We also handle

referrals, credentialing, billing, and client matching.
