How much does a LPC / LMHC earn in Pennsylvania?

LPC / LMHC roles we recruit across the US are advertised at roughly $55k – $85k, typically $55k entry, $70k mid-career and $85k at senior or supervisory level. In Pennsylvania, where an individual offer lands inside that range is driven by licensure, setting, caseload and local cost of living rather than a state-wide average. Strong IDD and community mental health sector, with school-based contract work concentrated around Philadelphia.

What changes a LPC / LMHC offer in Pennsylvania

LPC, LCSW and LMFT are licensed by the State Board of Social Workers, Marriage and Family Therapists and Professional Counselors.
Setting: Outpatient clinics, Community mental health, Substance use treatment price differently for the same credential.
Caseload cap and billable or productivity target, which decide whether a bonus is real.
Metro cost of living within the state; a city premium is not the same as a better offer.
Scarcity: High volume nationally, with the tightest markets wherever associate-level clinicians cannot find paid supervision.

Why we do not publish a PA average

We publish what we actually see advertised on roles we recruit. We do not hold a statistically valid state-level survey, so quoting a Pennsylvania average would be guesswork dressed as data. For official state wage estimates, use the federal source and treat it as a floor for negotiation, not a target.
