State of Private Practice in India 2026

What do Indian therapists actually charge, and what does running a practice look like? Little of this is published, so new therapists guess their fees. This survey is meant to change that.

Anonymous by design:we don’t ask for your name, email, or anything identifying, so there is nothing to leak and nothing to market to.

Openly published: aggregated results (fee ranges by city tier and experience, tool usage, admin pains) will be published free on this site for everyone, including participants, non-participants and our competitors. The results page goes live once we reach 100 responses.

Run by Therapy Manager, the practice-management app by Dandelion Psychotherapy. The survey is not a sales funnel: there is no follow-up and no gate.
