There is no survey line called psychotherapist. Most psychotherapists are licensed at master's level, so these are the 2025 figures for mental health counselors, the largest of those groups: median $59,350, bottom tenth $38,940 or less, top tenth $97,590 or more. Marriage and family therapists have a median of $66,940 and mental health and substance abuse social workers $60,280.
