    How much does a PhD / PsyD earn in Connecticut?

    PhD / PsyD roles we recruit across the US are advertised at roughly $92k – $145k, typically $92k entry, $115k mid-career and $145k at senior or supervisory level. In Connecticut, 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. High-pay, low-volume market competing directly with New York for candidates.

    Why we do not publish a CT average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 Connecticut 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.
